Very interesting quiz..
Thank you Branka and thank you for taking the quiz
It’s good to know I can read an article and retain 100% of the facts. Love these, great idea to post the facts in an article first. Loved the cat picture! 😉
Now that was a photo of my cat Sid and it was posted as a surprise and I was waiting to see who would notice that. Very good Kim and I see you know how to train your brain.
Great quiz. Mostly guess work. Got 5
Thank you for taking the quiz. Did you read the article with information for the quiz?
No I did not. Went straight for the quiz (lol)
I have not taken the quiz but I know so much about the wonderful state of taxes.
Glad you know about this state Hillary.
Yeah I was born in Lincoln and moved to Tennessee then came back..if I could get away again I would.
Very interesting quiz.. thanks for posting

Very good, Carol and thank you for taking the quiz. Oh, yes there will be more coming.

i love this series, it is as fun as your state journey was a year or so ago!
Very good, Doc and glad you enjoyed the quiz. I had writings saved up on the history of US capitals so as long as I have them I will keep posting them.
i’ve enjoyed both the state, and the capital series.
you are a very talented writer!
Thank you, Doc now to find someone to realize that who is willing to pay big money for my writing. I keep plugging at it every day. Someone suggested Linkedin for freelance and to get at them every day or so she says. You know those expert articles how they made their first $1000 etc. but then again I do know those who really have.
there are many markets out there for writers. Cortena seems the most focused, but it is a pay upfront as the writer.
There are a few others out there. I used to write on LinkedIn a lot, honestly no clue why I stopped.
