this is an example of how stupid you all are.  there are FIFTY states and ONE district.  so the person who wrote above, "i think they are wrong there is only 50 states . . .," needs to pay attention.  (there ARE fifty states, not there IS fifty states)

are you people really so stupid as not to know how many states there are?????

Actually, all of you are wrong.  The answer is:  "There are 50 states."  The only one of you who came close was "dixierebel!"  Congratulations!  If you had only dropped out "because the 1 district is not considered a state" you would have been correct!  Better luck next time.

p.s. And to all of you who tried, there will be a small gift at the door.  Thank you for playing! And have a nice day!! :)
