The Fourth of July Forum Contest
The Fourth of July is just around the corner, so to celebrate the occasion, I thought it would be interesting if we had a forum content based on how good your general knowledge of the United States is! The first few questions will be easy, but they will get harder as the voting form goes on.  Here are the rules for the contest: * The person with the most correct answers will win the contest. The winner will be awarded a badge for their mini-profile and a mystery prize. The member comes runner-up will also receive a minor prize. More information on that will be available shortly. * Cheating is NOT ALLOWED. That means, you can not use Wikipedia or the internet to give you the answers to the questions. If it is determined that you have cheated, your voting sheet will not count. It can appear obvious if someone has cheated, so please do not consider doing so. * The contest will close at these times: Pacific Time - 5am on Sunday, 30th June US East Coast Time - 8am on Sunday, 30th June AEDT - Midnight on Monday, 1st July NZDT - 2am on Monday, 1st July The results will be announced on: July 4th If you have any questions about the contest, please let me know. Otherwise, best of luck!  forms.gle/Ha5KtxPho33ymEcx8
