Indeed, but if someone has to look something up at least they are learning something. Besides this is just for fun.

The answer to yesterday's question was C. Bf 109, congratulations Henry921! The bonus question answers are kinda tricky. The MIG-29(like most Russian war planes) was never given a official name. NATO did designate it as the Fulcrum, I would have accepted that as an answer. The P-51 was named the Mustang. The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was also never given an official name. Finally the F-15 is named the Eagle(or some variant with Eagle in it).

Today's trivia question.

A. 50

B. 52

C. 46

Easy: A. 50. I'm not gonna name them all plus their capitals mind you (who can actually?). Some people say either 48 or 52, because of Alaska and Hawaii. Either they're not counted at all or counted double

Is that your final answer? For instance I live in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

In the continental US? 48. Actual states with actual State powers? (IE, seats in Congress) 50. In total, counting states that don't actually have all the powers of a state? 52, if memory serves.

The answer definitely starts with a 4.

Oh yeah, New Jersey isn't a state, is it? It's more of a tumor growing off of New York.

Lol.

It's 46. I know PA, WA and VA are all Commonwealths. So that leaves 1 more that's not a "state."

It's one of the original 13 colonies and it's in New England.

Edit: WA is a state, so the last one makes baseball bats.

Sheesh, splitting hairs over States vs. Commonwealths. If we're going that route, KY (yummy chicken), PA, MA and VA are Commonwealths. WA however, is not.
