Okay! Nothing wrong with knowing the answer already; you used what's between your ears. ;)

The rest of you folks, carry on. Give it your best shot.

I knew this one from when Tim first got here - I suppose that's kind of cheating, too :p

Okay, now shhhhh! *finger on lips* ;)
Let's see what the others think... :D

cheaters cheeeeeters...

I'm just kidding!!

i took a guess...

I do not know the answer.

I felt like I was on 'who wants to be a millionare'. They have no life lines left, all they can do is the same as myself. I came by my answer using was the process of elimination. So I voted - final answer.

When do we find out, huh huh huh??? ~lol~ As my husband likes to say to me, "patience, grasshopper"

Fae

9:00pm, Eastern Time

Patience, grasshopper... :D

Don't quote me, but I think it's South Carolina.

haven't peaked or cheated...

answering none.... most of those are of the original 13 and while I don't know every flag... I think it's a safe damn bet that they wouldn't put the country we fought in their flags. As far as the others... again.. deductive 'common sense' not sure why the hell Montana would want the Union Jack in their state flag.

ahhhh... I see I was wrong when I saw the vote results.... that makes sense considering ..... *shuts up to not give away*

I'm not sure, but I voted South Carolina.

Edited to add: Oh shoot! IN the flag, not WITH the flag....(and I had it confused with the Confederate Flag)... dang... no $200 for me :(

The answer is....


HAWAII


:D Congratulations to our champs like Angel, Mrs. Hedgehog and the rest of the Hawaii voters.

Well now that the cat's out of the bag I can admit.

When researching alternative wedding locations I was looking at a lot of Hawaii sites. But I couldn't say that because I was afraid it would give out too much info on which state to choose!

One of the sites had their state flag, weather, etc. under the FAQ's section and it stood out to me.

I wondered why one of the last states admitted to the US had a throwback to Britain. So I read about it.

For once, my useless wanderings on the web netted something useful. :p
