California is wrong. Minnesota is wrong if you aren’t counting double letters Oklahoma should be 8, not 6. Unless you aren’t counting double letters, in which case Minnesota would be wrong and California would be right.
This map is dumb.

I am genuinely confused by your comment...California/Sacramento = 5 (A, C, N, O, R); Minnesota/Saint Paul = 5 (A, I, N, S, T); and Oklahoma/Oklahoma City = 6 (A, H, K, L, M, O)...what type of math were you taught?
Your comment is dumb.

If it's a total count of shared letters then California would be 6 and Oklahoma 8 because California and Sacramento have 2 'A's and Oklahoma is 8 letters long. Clearly it's a distinct count of letters so they're just being super nitpicky. I think they also thought Minneapolis is the capital of Minnesota.

Minnesota born and raised, Saint Paul is the capital! But the double letters is confusing. Are we counting duplicate letters? Let’s say Minnehaha was the capital of Minnesota… how many letters in common is that? It could be 5 or 6, depending on the rules.
But my point is that Sacramento and California have 6 letters in common, if you count two A’s

I was just pointing out the irony that the commenter blamed their confusion on the post being “dumb”, while in fact their confusion rather stemmed from them being too dumb to differentiate between “total” vs. “distinct” letters

u/whippingcream2 7h ago
There’s two A’s in California and Sacramento. That’s 6 total letters in common

u/ohnothem00ps 3h ago
Ok and? There are also 2 A’s in Oklahoma…what’s your point? Why do we care about “total” letters? The post is clearly about “distinct” letters

How is Minnesota wrong? S-a-i-n-t is 5, then P, u, and l don't count and the 2nd A is a double. So it should be 5 like it shows on the map, right?

Hmm, doesn’t seem to be letter, word, or syllable-related. The clusters of blues in the Mountain region and the Northeast suggest something other than anything environmental or related to biomes. Thinking politically, you can rule out seats in federal govt bodies or any sort of federal courts.
I’m gonna keep thinking about this, and maybe rope in a friend or two, but for now, I’m stumped!

Man, these are getting dumb. You can find anything in their names and capitals. The states share the same letter positions as their western border srates..... cmon. You guys can do better.
