Comment on Rainbolt never misses
Pretty easy when you grow up learning a thing
Really? Have you learned about German states at school?
Nope, but I think there may be Bavaria, Westfalia, Saxony? Can’t think of any others at the moment but I assume there are a couple more.
It’s a bit trickier, since Germany was still divided when I was in grade school.
Yea, there are 13 more
Ok, some of those must be around county sized for the US.
Many of states of the United States (especially outside the 13 colonies) are bigger than most of Europe’s countries. Which is really a better comparison to memorizing the states.
It’s weird, Australian schools didn’t teach them either… does the rest of the world exist, perhaps?
I would be careful telling them that. If you also add that a vast majority of the world use metric system, their heads may explode…
