Iltalehti, a Finnish publication, presents a geography quiz that challenges participants to name U.S. states that start with the word 'New'. The quiz consists of ten questions, and participants can score up to thirty points, indicating that some questions may require multiple correct answers. The emphasis is on testing one’s geographical knowledge, particularly of foreign locations, while also including some questions related to Finland.

The quiz is designed to not only test basic recall but also to encourage clever thinking and reasoning skills, as participants are required to input answers in an open-text format without multiple-choice options. This format enhances the challenge, as participants cannot simply guess from presented choices but must actively recall the information they know. Overall, the quiz aims to engage readers in an enjoyable and educational way.

The article is written by quiz author Magnus Mali and encourages active participation. With no penalties for incorrect guesses, it invites participants to attempt answers freely, further stimulating interest in geography and learning about U.S. states. This initiative aligns with Iltalehti’s efforts to provide entertaining content that also enriches knowledge and promotes critical thinking among its readers.
