Hi all,
Hope everyone is having a good summer so far. My mother recently helped
organize a conference at work. There were people from all parts of Idaho. I
helped her create a quiz to give them. Door prizes were given to people who
got the most correct answers. I thought it would be fun to see how many
among this group could answer the questions. I was able to name 41 counties
myself. I knew where the other three were, and I even knew what letter two
of them started with, but I couldn't come up with those last three names.
Drove myself nuts. No, I won't tell which three. Here are the questions:
