Alaska is the only state in the US that can be typed using a single row on the keyboard. Harvard University ran its own brewery for more than 300 years- serving students beer at every meal! Almost forty percent of the American population- 73 million people- watched the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964.

If the state splits into east and west halves, the one-hand typing still holds. not if the state splits into north and south halves. In either case, then texas will become the third biggest state, california fourth, montana fifth.
