How many US states are at least partially north of the southernmost land point of Canada?

Hint: it is probably a lot more than you think.

 

[Alsacs]

Off the top of my head without looking at a map Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Washington, Alaska are my guess.

Curvature would also play a role too right? I'd guess 20.

Hint: The state of Wyoming is almost entirely north of the southernmost point of Canada

Going from memory here:

Considering Lake Eerie juts so far down (essentially into Pennsylvania)

I'm gonna go with: PA, NY, ME, MA, OH, VT, RI, MI, WISC, ND, SD, CA, OR, WA, Idaho, Alaska

All the states I said have to be part of the answer maybe add Oregon, South Dakota, Wyoming, New York to the list as well.

Without looking at a map, I came up with 13. Maine, NH, VT, NY, Mich, Wisc, Minn, ND, SD, Mont, Idaho, Washington, Alaska. I had 14, but I nixed Wyoming. I know southern Ontario comes down pretty far. I will look at a map now to verify.

another hint: more than 25% of US states are entirely north of Canada's southernmost point

Southern most has to be Windsor Ont area... I'll say 19..

Edit, Hawaii and Ohio - 21... But maybe even more.

All 57? Ever hear of the Canadian Virgin Islands?

Even more. I just looked at a lattitude map of North America.

Haha. I think Myrtle Beach is Canadian during the summer.

 

[rstone7727]

Venezuela is part of Canada isn't it?

The answer is 27, with 13 states entirely north of the southernmost shore of Middle Island in Lake Erie, which is the southernmost land point of Canada

The proof is here; scroll down for the documentation for each individual state

Cool.

Middle Island is actually further south than Syracuse, which is at a latitude of 43.0469 degrees.

Syracuse is further south than Cannes in France though, as well as Portland, OR, Boise, Toronto, Florence, Marseilles, Toulouse, Nice, Monaco, Vladivostok and Sapporo.

So we have that going for us.
