    I’d pay to see someone asking random americans in the streets about this

      Pfft. We all know that map isn’t official.

      The reason you can’t build that bridge is because Alaska is farther southwest near Hawaii, and there is a big wall around them.

      To be fair, ambushing anyone on the street, out of context, is extremely likely to get a dumber answer than normal.

      This would make a good study, actually. Ambush people on the street and quiz them. For the control group, quiz them immediately, on the street. For the experimental group, take them to a more relaxed location, allow them to sit, give them a minute or two to get collected, quiz them and measure the difference from the control group. You can do it with easy, medium, hard questions.
