Welcome to Kansas.

Well, people were really loving the Kansas trivia last week, so it's back! For all you Kansas people, this will probably be easier than some weeks, but I have to throw in some tricky ones. I can't have everyone getting 100 percent. Last week's winner was Michele. She knew lots about Garden City.

Good luck on this week's trivia, and don't forget to comment at the end on how you do.

1. Kansas is the _____ state.
2. In 1905, faculty at the University of Kansas identified an element. What was that common element?
3. Kansas is the leading producer of what crop?

5. What basketball player was born in Philadelphia, played two years at the University of Kansas and stood 7 feet, 1 inches tall?
6. Who was the town of Phillipsburg named after?
7. What's the windiest city in Kansas?
8. What's the name of the governor's mansion?
9. Which city has the richest salt deposits in the world?
10. Kansas has the largest population of wild grouse in North America. What else are they known as?
