 </span></blockquote>I count 61 sets of 3 or more states (not counting DC) that share at least<br/>
one common point.<br/>
<br/>
 1 set is the set of 4 states that meet at the Four Corners<br/>
 1 set (KYMOTN) meets at 3 separate points<br/>
59 sets meet at one and only one tri-state point<br/>
<br/>
adding the two extra KYMOTN points would yield a total of 63 multistate<br/>
points. This agrees with Michael&#39;s total.<br/>
<br/>
As far as the ocean ones, Michael is probably right. There appear to be 20<br/>
places where an interstate line meets the ocean, but perhaps 2 coastal<br/>
states to not make it out to the 3-mile limit (CT and PA?)?<br/>
