California or Florida quiz
Today's quiz is a little different to usual. The aim here is to relate the statements below as they apply (or not as the case may be) to California and Florida. There are only 4 possible answers you could give to each, namely that the statement applies to: (1) Califonia; (2) Florida; (3) Both; or (4) Neither. In the statements, contiguous States means the 48 States that are connected together by land borders. Even if you don’t know you can have your best guess. Without using reference material or the internet, of course.
REMEMBER - NO POSTS instead you PM me with your guesses any time up to 8pm tonight. If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier. So no hurry and it doesn't matter when you submit the answers because I'll be judging them solely on who has the most correct - and in the event of two or more being level it will be a tie. I hope this is clear and good luck. Tomorrow I’ll post the names of the top entries.
ALSO REMEMBER that your answer can only be California, Florida, Both or Neither.
