Percentage of students who attend college out of state
Shall I play spoiler? I know the answer.
Oy. When you know it, you know it really quickly. We’ll play for second place.
Ok. Let the game continue!
Per-pupil spending on K-12 public schools?
Late Monday Hint: This is a dollar amount, per-capita.
Per capita education spending?
Tuesday hint: The lowest is $20 or so, the highest around $5,400.
LOL If the Monday hint was late, shouldn’t this be very late?
Taxes paid to combined state and local governments?
Wednesday Hint: Lighter is better here, generally speaking, people across the political aisle would generally agree.
Average car insurance premiums?
Per-capita payments on state government debt (e.g., interest and principal repayment on state-guaranteed bonds). Which seems like it would correspond very closely with per-capita share of state government debt.
Doesn’t that fail to explain Alaska?
Damn, I forgot Alaska. Are they still totally in the black from excise taxes?
Apparently not!
Ding ding ding. Sorry, Burt, I missed this. It’s actually the latter. Per-capita share of state debt. Alaska is a puzzling one. They weren’t on my source. Unfunded pension liabilities for Alaska were absolutely staggering. In 2011, they had more unfunded liabilities than any other state. Like, 57% more than Illinois, which was #2. I said Alaska and Hawaii were darker red based on this, which places both in the top five of just about every category.
Cool! Johanna got there first but I still feel like I accomplished something.
As for the running total, do I award credit on the running total to Johanna or myself?
I am inclined to give it to Johanna, I’m afraid. Not that you or I will ever have a lot of points because we’re ineligible for half of the questions.
