US states north of Canada

What’s your best guess without looking: How many US states are at least partially north of the southernmost part of Canada?

…

(It’s probably way more than you think.)

…

Ok, I’ll give you two hints…

1. Wyoming is almost *entirely* north of the southernmost point in Canada.

…

2. Part of a state that borders Mexico is north of the southernmost point in Canada.

…

One more big hint: more than 25% of US states are entirely north of Canada’s southernmost point.

So, here’s the answer:

27 US states, more than half, are at least partially north of Canada’s southernmost point. (via @stevenstrogatz)
