Title: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: Duke David on September 22, 2011, 07:36:03 AM The items listed above are the ten most "successful" bellwether states.
Click on those three states whose inhabitants (or state legislature, respectively) voted for the "right" candidate most frequently. PS: What matters is not the popular vote, but the eventually winning candidate. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Answer: #1 New Mexico (92,0%) #2 Illinois (83,3%) #3 Ohio (82,7%) Thanks to everyone who cast their vote.

I'll give you a hint: At least one of your suggestions is correct. Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: Thomas D on September 22, 2011, 06:00:11 PM Nevada and Ohio. No clue as to the 3rd.

Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: Duke David on September 22, 2011, 06:31:43 PM I know which state virtually never voted "wrong".
You'll never guess right. HARHARHAR Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: Duke David on September 22, 2011, 06:37:00 PM Ohio, Illinois, and California. At least one correct answer, Snowstalker. :) Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: Snowstalker Mk. II on September 22, 2011, 06:44:18 PM Is it the same one as Antonio?

Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: Snowstalker Mk. II on September 24, 2011, 02:42:49 PM I'm certain one is California and another is Illinois.
Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: Duke David on September 24, 2011, 03:51:35 PM I'm certain one is California and another is Illinois. One of them is correct, the other one is wrong. Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: Snowstalker Mk. II on September 24, 2011, 05:01:39 PM California and Ohio?
Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: Duke David on September 24, 2011, 06:35:20 PM California and Ohio? The same as before: One is correct, one is wrong. ;) Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: Snowstalker Mk. II on September 24, 2011, 07:05:01 PM Ohio and Illinois?
Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: Duke David on September 24, 2011, 07:25:04 PM Ohio and Illinois? According to rules of Boolean logic, either both are correct or both are wrong. ;D Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: Snowstalker Mk. II on September 24, 2011, 07:35:58 PM I hate you. :P
Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: ShamDam on September 25, 2011, 01:35:46 AM Here's what we know:
At least one of OH, IL, CA must be correct. At least one of IL, NM, OH must be correct. CA and IL cannot both be correct, but one is. CA and OH cannot both be correct, but one is. Therefore, if California is correct, New Mexico must also be correct. And if California isn't correct, Ohio and Illinois must also be correct. In order for this to be guessable, more information is needed. Personally, I voted for NM, NV, and OH. However, given the information thus far, that is impossible. As of right now, the possibilities are: CA, NM, AZ CA, NM, MT CA, NM, NV CA, NM, NY CA, NM, PA CA, NM, UT OH, IL, AZ OH, IL, MT OH, IL, NV OH, IL, NY OH, IL, PA OH, IL, UT OH, IL, NM What a waste of time. Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states? Post by: Antonio the Sixth on September 25, 2011, 04:12:26 AM I'm sure Illinois and Ohio are. The third one is most probably NM.

As of right now, the possibilities are: CA, NM, AZ CA, NM, MT CA, NM, NV CA, NM, NY CA, NM, PA CA, NM, UT OH, IL, AZ OH, IL, MT OH, IL, NV OH, IL, NY OH, IL, PA OH, IL, UT OH, IL, NM What a waste of time. I can reassure you: You've listed the correct combination. 8) Title: Re: A little quiz: Most "successful" bellwether states?
