	Neat idea, but it's basically a logic/geography quiz. I guess it does test a breadth of knowledge, fron Butler U to George Karl to the Gottis....

	State with most mentions in this quiz: Florida (3)

	Excellent concept. I think it could have been tougher -- but that's what sequels are for :-)

	And the answer to the Panthers question: yes. Steve Smith's shoulders are getting tired.

	No Dewey Defeats Truman?

	Pretty easy, nice concept though.

	Tom--The title says US newspaper headlines. You know from the get-go that it will be US centric. If that bothers you, don't take the quiz!

	Good quick quiz. Sad to see Tom007's dry sense of humor misconstrued, though. -

	skinnyboy77:	Nov 8th, 2011 at 20:00 GMT		20 points
	While I got it right, is there a reason that "FAA: Plane was coming from Ariz." couldn't be... just about every state in the union?

	Tom007:	Nov 8th, 2011 at 20:06 GMT		13 points
	@DashDixon Thank you for picking up on that

	jeremypac:	Nov 8th, 2011 at 20:20 GMT		9 points
	Why not Minot? Freezin's the Reason.

	Great quiz, but I disagree with those who say it was easy. I think it could use a couple more minutes.

	I thought news in North Dakota was a little slow, but shoes?

	PK9:	Nov 8th, 2011 at 20:47 GMT		5 points
	@skinnyboy77: My reasoning was that if the FAA had to tell the media where the plane was coming from, it was likely a small aircraft. Which probably crashed.

	Weirdly, I remembered Mt. Hood from the Ramona books I read when I was a kid.

	5 globes for the Duluth News-Tribune!

	Wondered for probably at least a minute why "Pittsburgh" wasn't being accepted for the Steel Valley headline.

	I had time to brute force two of them, but still miss four, so I'd say that's the perfect amount of time.

	MrMN:	Nov 9th, 2011 at 01:39 GMT		-1 points
	Too easy, but still fun

	skinnyboy77:	Nov 9th, 2011 at 01:52 GMT		1 point
	@PK9, That makes sense, but that still only narrows down the possible states. Even a 200-mile range opens it up to 6 states.

	@DashDixon Some of us didn't misconstrue it. We've just seen the tongue-in-cheek "too US centric" joke posted roughly 5000 times now.

	nice to see the self proclaimed "Florida's #1 Newspaper" make it on here, also the sports-related headlines were a nice touch.

	From the Norfolk area. I'm sorry I missed the story about the mock slave auction; I bet that was an interesting read.

	I don't get hunting. Why you would kill any living creature just for sport? It's one thing if you're going to eat the meat, but since people have tossed aside morals and started slaughterhouses, very few people hunt for that reason. Killing for the sake of killing is barbaric.

	If you don't know sports, there's a few answers you'd never guess.

	the FAA one is really vague
