	Great quiz...not sure if its been made before, but there are lots of "USA largest cities" quizzes. I think San Juan (Puerto Rico) should probably be up there, at least as a bonus. I got all 52 with a minute remaining. Also, I typed in "Pittsburg" (no "h" at the end) and the city came up. The only way to spell Pittsburgh is with an h. Probably should be fixed. 4/5

	Great game, I really like how you don't give the states.

	RS89:	Nov 21st, 2009 at 02:13 GMT	5 points
	For the answer that shows up, you should give the full name of the metro area as its given in the source.

	adamnvillani:	Nov 21st, 2009 at 04:00 GMT	18 points
	RS89's suggestion is a good one. Give the full name of the MSA... that way when we see, say, "San Francisco - Oakland," we'll know that we need to get San Jose separately. Ditto L.A. and Riverside.

	More than half the country (Roughly 160.4 Million) lives in these metro areas. Incredible.

	Anonymous42:	Nov 21st, 2009 at 22:02 GMT	6 points
	Perhaps you could give the states, but as part of the answer? (I.e., not as a hint.)

	deej:	Nov 21st, 2009 at 23:39 GMT	7 points
	name the major league baseball cities and their AAA affiliates, and you get 45/52

	Inland Empire should also work for San Bernardino/Riverside, but other than that, nice work!

	Great quiz. This is much more meaningful than 'largest cities'. Salt Lake City, for example, has less than 200,000, but the metro area is 6 times as big.

	bsd987:	Nov 23rd, 2009 at 05:18 GMT	2 points
	You should list all the major cities that make up the metro area, since that's what your source does.

	GREAT GAme!

	I missed San Jose. I wish the USA or whoever is culpable whould make up their mind. Is Riverside, LA? Is Baltimore, Washington? Is San Jose, San Francisco? If Toronto was inthe states they would be not far behind Chicago if they calculated the same way as they would also include Hamilton, Guelph, Oshawa and probably even Kitchener/Waterloo and St.Catherines..

	i'm disappointed more people dont get my hometown of rochester...

	Koumori:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 23:21 GMT	3 points
	yeah for rochester

	Berubium:	Dec 23rd, 2010 at 00:13 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz. I got 49/52; not bad for a Canadian. I agree that San Juan should be included. Also would Bridgeport be considered in the same metro as Hartford? I missed Hartford but tried Bridgeport...

	NoThoughtControl:	Aug 9th, 2011 at 20:32 GMT	3 points
	Nope, Hartford and Bridgeport are two different MSA's

	robhop:	Sep 29th, 2011 at 12:04 GMT	1 point
	Wham bam Birmingham! Great quiz.

	cgrapes429:	Sep 29th, 2011 at 14:49 GMT	1 point
	Bridgeport shouldn't count for Hartford, but Springfield, Mass should.

	cgrapes429:	Sep 29th, 2011 at 14:50 GMT	-1 points
	South Florida should also count for Miami.
