Wisconsin
(technically, the answer is "none",
since the two share a lake border.
Lake borders are no different than river borders, no matter how large
the lake.
Unlike the sea, there's no distance limit on how far into a
lake the territory of a state or country goes.
They always go out to the middle of the lake or to some other
negotiated line.
Michigan borders on Illinois and Minnesota, as well as Wisconsin,
Indiana, and Ohio. It also means Wisconsin does not border on Canada,
while Ohio and Pennsylvania do.)

Wrong.

True, but irrelevant.
Lake borders are no different than river borders, no matter how large
the lake.
That's at best a matter of opinion. I'd say they differ in that
river borders are land borders and lake borders aren't. But that
too is irrelevant.
Well, they're water borders rather than land borders.

lake the territory of a state or country goes.
Essentially true.

What's so special or different about lake borders that make them
different than river borders? Just saying one's a lake and one's a river
is not enough. How are they fuctionally different?

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-02-13,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of Footloose and Firkin Free, but have been reformatted
and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.

that may appear in these rounds, see my 2021-07-20 companion posting

Dan Blum, and Pete.

since the two share a lake border.
True, but irrelevant.
Dan Tilque:
Why is this irrelevant?
Reread the question. If we'd asked for New York and Pennsylvania,
New Jersey would be a correct answer.
What's so special or different about lake borders that make them
different than river borders? Just saying one's a lake and one's a river
is not enough. How are they fuctionally different?
Well, they feel different to me. Consider representations on a map.
They always go out to the middle of the lake or to some other
negotiated line.
Wrong.
How is that wrong? Please eludcidate.
The Bodensee, alias Lake Constance, is a counterexample. There is
no particular location that the adjacent countries recognize as
their boundary -- neither mid-lake nor a negotiated line.
Oops. No points for you!

I put 1955, so was off by one.
I spelled it Kristi...
And spelled his name Flint...
