1. Every US state has recorded temperatures in the triple digits (F), but two states' highest recorded temperatures are exactly 100 degrees. One is Alaska; what is the other, which also holds the distinction of being the only state with a lowest recorded temperature above zero?
Correct Answer: HAWAII
Your Answer: Hawaii

I was pretty sure every other state would have gotten below 0 other than Hawaii. Surprised it maxes out at 100.

Man, this is really easy in retrospect. Making this a three-pointer will haunt me. I just didn't give it much thought.

Your Answer: Nicotine

Addicative made my first thought Nicotine. Nightshade confirmed it.
