Random fact, you can color any map with any boundaries, where no 2 adjacent boundaries share a color using only 4 colors.

Thanks Missy, WhyYou, now i can see where you guys are in relation to the states and how far apart they are, roughly.

However i'm still a little confused as to how many states there are in US lol.

I just Googled how many states there are in USA and i always thought it was 51, but i got the answers 48, 50 and 51. Any of you guys know which is the correct number?.

How many years you reckon it took to visit every state Tigger?, just curious.

48 states are the continental US which means the connected land mass. 50 states include Alaska and Hawaii which are separated from the continental land mass. The 51st state I believe is Puerto Rico.

Unless I'm behind in the times think there is still only 50 states.I had heard years ago of talk of making Puerto Rico the 51 state but never gone beyond talking about it.
I remebered as a kid I had to memorized all 50 states..including the correct spelling and the order of which each state came into the union.

they are only 50 States in the US, the best way to remember this is Hawaii Five-O the TV show, im not saying thats why the TV show was call such, I'm just saying that Hawaii Five-O sounds like Hawaii 50, as Hawaii is the 50th state in America, and is called Hawaii, the Aloha State and was classed as a state on August 21, 1959

Also there are 50 Stars on the US flag one each representing the 50 states of the United Stats of America and consists of thirteen equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white. the 13 stripes represent the thirteen colonies that rebelled against the British monarchy and became the first states in the Union.

Puerto Rico is still not classed as a state, they have voted for Puerto Rico to become a state 3 times in 1967, 1993 and 1998, and they have always decided against it. So for now, Puerto Rico remains a commonwealth associated with the United States.

As a side note "Independence Day" is celibrated because of the 13 colonies rebelled against the British monarchy on the 2nd july 1776, there are sompeople that think this date is wrong as the 4th of July was when the Declaration of Independence was signed, but alas it may have even been sign nearly a month after on August 2, 1776, and not on July 4 as is commonly believed, but this is still up for debate and I'm not trying to prove otherwise.

Hope this helps

I've always wanted to talk to Rob about how he got started with his idea called FTV Girls, where he got the girls, etc.

There are a few imitators but no equal out there. I miss the chat and hope the trolls stay away and we can have it back someday. It'd be fine with me if he made it a Members-Only access chat though.
