Alright, let’s talk about this West Virginia quiz thing, ya know? I ain’t no scholar, but I reckon I can tell ya a thing or two.
What’s this West Virginia all about?
Well, some folks call it a “Mountain State.” Mountains, mountains, everywhere! I heard tell there was this fella, Daniel somethin’-somethin’ Farnsworth, long time ago. He was a big shot politician, even a governor for a bit, way back when. And wouldn’t you know it, this West Virginia place used to be part of Virginia, but then they up and left, became their own thing. Tough folks, I tell ya.
- They got mountains.
- They used to be part of Virginia.
- They had a governor fella named Farnsworth.
Now, there’s this lady, Julia Keller, she writes stories ’bout a West Virginia town. Says it’s poor and pretty at the same time. Kinda like a beat-up ol’ truck, still runs good though. She writes about justice and all that, real serious stuff.
So, what about these quizzes?
Seems like folks like to test their brains about West Virginia. I seen some places online, Sporcle and JetPunk, they got quizzes. Lots of ’em! They ask you stuff about the place, you know, like what counties they got, or maybe some history. I ain’t too good at rememberin’ all that, but some folks sure are.
They say these quizzes, they got all sorts of questions. Maybe ten at a time, but they got hundreds to choose from. So, you take it once, you take it again, you get different questions. Keeps you on your toes, I guess. You click on this and that, and poof, there’s another question. They say you gotta scroll down sometimes to find more quizzes. Like hidin’ treasure, I reckon.
And some quizzes, they just about geography. You know, where things are. Rivers, mountains, towns. I heard tell they got more than 70 questions just about that! Enough to make your head spin, that’s for sure.
Why do folks take these quizzes, you ask?
Well, I reckon some folks just like to show off how much they know. Others, maybe they just want to learn somethin’ new. And some, well, they just bored, nothin’ better to do. Like me knittin’ this here sweater, gotta keep my hands busy.
What kind of questions they askin’?
I heard they ask about all sorts. Like who that governor fella was, the one I told you about, Farnsworth. Or maybe they ask about the towns, what they famous for. Or what kind of critters live in the mountains. Bears, maybe? I ain’t seen one myself, but I heard tell they out there.
So, where can you find these quizzes?
Like I said, there’s those Sporcle and JetPunk places. And I bet if you poke around the internet, you can find more. Just type in “West Virginia quiz” or “West Virginia trivia” and see what pops up. It ain’t rocket science, even I can do it.
Is it hard?
Well, I reckon it depends on how much you know. If you ain’t never heard of West Virginia, then yeah, it’ll be hard. But if you lived there your whole life, maybe it’ll be easy as pie. Or maybe not. Sometimes they ask tricky questions, try to fool ya.
Should you try it?
Sure, why not? Ain’t gonna hurt nothin’. Might even learn somethin’ new. And if you don’t know the answer, just guess! Nobody’s gonna judge ya. It’s just for fun, after all.
So there ya have it. That’s all I know about these West Virginia quizzes. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta get back to my knittin’. This sweater ain’t gonna make itself, ya know.
Final word: Go on, give them quizzes a try. It’s just a bit of fun, like trying to guess how many beans are in a jar. And don’t you fret if you don’t know all the answers. Nobody does, not even them fancy city folk.
