Are You a North Dakotan?


Are You a North Dakotan?

The following is a totally non-scientific quiz made up of a series of
yes/no questions followed by a list of terms to define. If you're a North
Dakotan, chances are you'll answer "yes" to a lot of the questions and
you'll be able to zip (or is that Zap?) through the list of terms. If any
of the terms have you stumped, ask a nearby North Dakotan for enlightenment.
