OK non-Americans, it's time to confess your ignorance about the geography of the USA, specifically the location of the states, though I'll accept boastful knowledge too.
I thought I was fairly on top of the detail and could probably name all the states but after reviewing the map I realised I was wrong. So:
I didn't realise that New Hampshire for so far north and that it borders Canada
I wasn't aware that Rhode Island is where it is and, while I knew it wasn't an island, thought it stuck out a bit more, like Long Island
I wasn't aware that Delaware is where it is, not exactly at least
I thought that Indiana was to the west of Illinois
I'm surprised that Missouri, and Arkansas especially, are less South and more West
I thought that Iowa and Nebraska were further to the west
(And before anyone else says it, yes, I had no idea that Guam, American Samoa and the Northern Marianas were off the coast of Florida!)
Incidentally, if anyone wondered if the point at which Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah meet is marked in some way, yes it is:
