Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.
This weeks riddle: Name the top twelve states in America.

Riddle is confusing – top for what reason? There are 12 of the contiguous states that border Canada: there is also Alaska in the north. These days there could be the top states for Covid-19 cases, top states for unemployment numbers, top states for tax dollars sent to Washington…or maybe I’m overthinking this…
