I think that Key West is the southernmost point of the continental US, but I'm not sure where the Tropic of Cancer ends. I'll guess, yes, Key West is south of that.

May be this is a trick question? Does Key West go that far south?
EDIT, I just realised this is a yes/no answer. So I'm going with a no.

The Tropic of Cancer is 23 degrees N, so I say no.

15. Alaska and Hawaii were the last states to join the Union, but they didn't join at the same time. In fact, they joined 7 1/2 months apart. So which one was actually last?

I never knew, until I went to Hawai'i for the first time, that Hawaii Five-0 is not what the local police call themselves. It is strictly the name of a tv show.

That seems too obvious. I will go with something like Chile.

Yea, I would go with that. Chile is pretty skinny.

I think that they are trying to trip up people who think that Brazil is entirely south of the equator. Which it isn't.

I assume that's correct. But I've no idea why it's called the Lunatic Express. I guess I'll consult my Friend Mr. G.
