I only tripped up two people, while about 5 got it right. The southernmost US state is Hawaii. The most northern, western and eastern state is Alaska. The Aleutian Islands cross 180 degrees longitude, putting part of Alaska in the eastern hemisphere. The American day still starts on the island of Guam, however, as the international date line detours to the west of the Aleutian Islands.
