    Yeah it's unreal. I know of many people who are convinced there are 52 states. Or those who are equally convinced that New England is a state.

    Maybe they're confusing it with the number of weeks in an year?

    They learn that the USA has 50 states but then find out Alaska and Hawaii are also states so they think there are actually 52 states without knowing that those two states are already included.

    Porto Rico and Guam are colloquially considered the 51st and 52nd states, not official though.
