Stop trying to kill the joke. ;P

Colleen

But they did not drown really.

Colleen

But these fish did not down. It was a brain teaser. If you did not think about it, you would think of them as drowned though they never were. You're really killing the whole point of the brain teaser you know.

You're standing at three light switches at the bottom of stairs to the attic. Each one corresponds to one of three lights in the attic, but you cannot see the lights from where you stand. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position. How can you identify which switch corresponds to which light bulb if you are only allowed one trip upstairs?

This is not a brain teaser as such, but a bar room bet that I love to win. Riddle me this, Batman, "Of the United States of America, which states are: 1. Furthest North, 2. Furthest South, 3. Furthest West, 4 Furthest East?"

Answers:
1. Alaska!!!!! Congrats to my old neighbor John Baker of Kotzebue, Alaska for winning the Iditarod 2011!
2. Hawaii
3. Alaska!!!! Is further West than all other states including Hawaii
4. Alaska!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alaska's western most Aleutian Islands are actually in the Eastern Hemisphere, making it the only State of the United States to be in both the Western and Eastern hemispheres. By being the Eastern Hemisphere, it makes it the furthest East too!

If you make this bet, make sure to carry a small atlas or have one available on your phone to prove that Attu is in the East. Oh, and make sure you don't piss off the wrong people when betting too.

One more geography question?

Name all the states and their capitals WEST of Los Angeles, California. I'll let you look them up yourself. There are probably more than you think. Six is the magic number you are looking for - six states, six capitals including California.
