[ivy set] #195 - Road Trip

(First time posting, I hope I'm getting this right....)

I can confirm that the javascript for the solution page on this is broken, or at least it was as of about two hours ago.

That said, I was able to solve the puzzle, but only through manually hacking the html to put in the proper answers and then also having to hotwire the submit button in addition to that.

And even with all that trouble I was _second_ person to solve it. Bah!

Sorry, I should have said that the javascript is broken for Firefox 1.5.0.1 and Safari under Mac OSX. I don't know if it's broken for other browsers, although I suspect it is because of the lack of solves.

Ive seen this puzzle. It gives you a map of america with 48 states and says that you are to go through every state only once with your journey going through:

Tennessee 11th
Wyoming 14th
Arkansas 35th

there is only one solution apparantly

The site will ask you to place the states in order from one list to another, this order should work (it worked for me.)

Vermont
Massachusetts
Rhode Island
Connecticut
New York
Pennsylvania
Ohio
Kentucky
Tennessee (11th)
Missouri
Nebraska
Wyoming (14th)
South Dakota
Iowa
Illinois
Indiana
Michigan
Wisconsin
Minnesota
North Dakota
Montana
Idaho
Washington
Oregon
California
Nevada
Utah
Arizona
New Mexico
Colorado
Kansas
Oklahoma
Arkansas (35th)
Texas
Louisiana
Mississippi
Alabama
Florida
Georgia
South Carolina
North Carolina
Virginia
West Virginia
Maryland

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Maine would have be either first or last as it's the only state only connected to one other. Also fairly obvious what 12 and 13 are as there only one to get from 11 to 14 in two states.

How exactly do you get from Michigan to Wisconsin on a *road* trip?

I've never been to Michigan, but I'm assuming there is a bridge from the its southern peninsula to the northern peninsula.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Therefore you could travel from Indiana to the southern part of Michigan, to the northern part of Michigan, and then right into Wisconsin.

Look at a map - a large portion of Michigan has a land border with northern Wisconsin. And if you entered Michigan from the east, yes there is a bridge from one side to the other.

Thanks, aliendial. I have learnt something - I always thought the Upper Peninsular (beyond St Ignace) was in Canada! But you are right, it is still Michigan.
