QUESTION:
What US state has the eastern most point in America?

COMMON ANSWER: Maine (Quoddy Head Maine).

TRICK ANSWER: Alaska (Cape Wrangell Alaska).

The International date line missed one of Alaska's Islands
so technically (and only technically) the eastern most point in America
is in Alaska. 


COMMENTARY: This question was one of two questions that inspired the post. 
(The socks question is the other.)
My opinion- this is STUPID, The answer really is Maine.
Peter Winkler's math puzzle book agrees, and was my original source.
(That is where I got the towns Quoddy and Cape Wrangall from.)
