Well Junkman, it looks like no one else is going to attempt to tackle that one and I already gave up, so let me have it...
Here's the question one more time--
<font color="red"> There are 5 states in these United States that have independent "states" outside of their states, but inside of another state. You can walk between these 5 states within 15 minutes and be in all of them. If you commit a crime in any of one of the states and run to another state, you would have to be extradited from that state to be tried in the other state. You might call them "states within a state". </font>

Does it have anything to do with Hawaii or Native Americans?

It is a long explanation, so grab a beer and sit back and relax. Many years ago, when Massachusetts decided to start the Eastern States Exposition, they decided that the only way that it could be successful was that if all the New England States were to participate. The only way that the other states would participate is if the State of Massachusetts deeded over to them a small parcel of land that they could erect a building on that would represent their state and would be Sovereign land of that State. Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, & New Hampshire each got a small parcel to call their own to create their own little "state house" on. Back in the mid 1970's a politician named Dukakas (a failed presidential candidate) passed a gun law in Massachusetts that prohibited carrying guns by anyone that was not licensed by Massachusetts and that included police of another state. It carried a mandatory 1 year jail sentence. This brought about a major problem, because the buildings on the land at the "Big E" were "technically" not in Massachusetts. It was eventually resolved and that is how I learned about these "miniature" states within the state of Massachusetts. It is claimed that if you commit a crime in one of these "states" that you will be brought back to the "big" part of the state to face trial. Now the interesting part is, how will they remove you since they will have to go through Massachusetts to get to their state. I have heard that in the past that there have been some interesting problems arise from time to time.

This might be a trick question. I'm not going to say who I think it might be. It'll get too many people going.
I'll PM Junkman privately who I think said it.
Next question--
<font color="red"> What person had a regular starring role on a regular television series on each of the three major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) during the same year? </font>

The inside of our phone book shows the map with only Eastern through Hawaii.
Those are time zones in the United States.
Maine is Eastern time zone. The zone line is the state line. North and east of Maine (Canada) is in the Atlantic zone.

The state of Maine arbitrarily moved the time line for convince as many places do. Time lines are straight like longitude and latitude lines, however to make it easy they are moved to accommodate geographical and political areas. Honest, I wouldn't lie about such an important matter. Don't believe me, go ask Henro, keeper of all important knowledge of facts & truths. Besides, who would you rather trust, the site that I show as my reference, the United States Government or the Telephone Company? That is like calling Ghost Busters!!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
