I have to disagree with this logic completely. Alaska is east of those islands and in that same way maine is east of alaska. Its not really a trick question so much as its a stupid question because direction is relative.

Direction is only sort of relative.

Just like you cannot go north from the north pole, you cannot go east from the International Dateline. Part of Alaska is REAL close to the dateline, so nothing can be farther east.

Hope this makes sense.
