Mississippi River in Canada and guessed too many on number of states it runs through or borders Slymet 4 years ago Got 8 out of 12. Did a poor job of guessing this time. Talked myself out of a right answer sometimes. I learned a lot but would like it if you could give us the right answer. For example the question about how many states border the Mississippi-I would appreciate you providing the info. I could think of 9– MN, IL, IA, MO, KY, TN, AR, MS, LA but don’t know the 10th off the top of my head. Did not know that there is a Mississippi River in Canada, and I have never heard of Lake Itasca which is the source of the MS River. Lee E Glidewell 4 years ago 11 out of 12 sounds pretty good. Problem was, Google doesn’t recognize Europeans as the first settlers along the river. Therefore, Indians were the first ‘settlers’. It seems Native Americans were the first of everything. Go figure, Google! My mistake for assuming the definition of ‘settlers’ being synonomous with foreiners! Truth Manhattan 4 years ago 12/12. Figuring the Canada reference was a trick question was the key. 🙂 ROBERT 4 years ago Missed #2 and #8. Should have gotten both for a perfect score, but thought about them too long. Neil 4 years ago I feel humble that I only got 9 out of 12. My pride has taken a dent. T Anderson 4 years ago 10 of 12. PS: If you want more facts, you can always google or do some other type of research. Don Kiesler 4 years ago No way that the Mississippi River is 2300 miles long. The Mississippi-Missouri system may be that long but that’s a different question. Diana Erbio 4 years ago Only 6 out of 12…but I learned some new facts ? Rick 4 years ago 11 out of 12. I shouldn’t have switched my answer about Canada. I agree with Judy. Would it be too much trouble to include where in Canada the Mississippi River is? If I have to go looking up things, I’m probably not going to do it. But if more information about the correct answers was provided we’d all learn more and stay sharper. Dawn J. 4 years ago 11 out of 12! Mighty good guesser today! Helen Corey 4 years ago This 80year old got 10 of 12. Nuns taught US history & geography well back then. Judy Smith 4 years ago Why don’t you give information about the correct answers? I have an inquiring mind, and inquiring minds like to know. Rick J. 4 years ago 8 out 12 ….. guess I didn’t know as much as I should about “old man river” Carol 4 years ago I got 7 out of 12 Janice Major 4 years ago I only did one better, and I, too, am ashamed. Gail 4 years ago I hang my head in shame. Got 5 out of 12 right. wpDiscuz210Would love your thoughts, please comment.x()x| ReplyInsert Login Login Join Renew Member Benefits Newsline Member Benefits Advocacy About Issues Updates Get Involved Annual Report Find Your Representative AMAC App Better for America Podcast AMAC Blog FAQ About Us Overview Our Team Our Stance on Key Issues Magazine Medicare Games Polls AMAC in the Media AMAC Action AMAC Foundation Contact Advertise with AMAC Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy
