	is there really a need to answer in order

	Of course...otherwise the temperature would be completely irrelevant and it would just be "name the 30 biggest US metros," which pretty much every Sporcler can do in a couple minutes.

	I understand the point, but somehow answering in order is no fun at all.

	I agree with pillbug. I think it'd be much better if you just provided us with the cities and we could guess where those fit in..

	96 is definitely not the hottest day in Seattle. It is 103 last summer. Also, Pittsburgh has been 103 before too.

	I understand why you want us to do it in order, but I must admit that it was no fun doing it. People need some kind of grasp where things will fit in. For example I had no clue if San Francisco's highest would be 106 or 103. The difference is marginal but you'd still have to guess your way through half the quiz.

	New York's highest recorded temperature is accepted as 106, not 102.

	Ditto to the above complaints about order. This would require you to know minutiae trivia; only Rain Man could do well. The fun of this without forced order would be that last minute "what am I missing?" sense of urgency. The percentage ratings would reflect that.

	Mcourtney:	Jun 16th, 2010 at 14:02 GMT		2 points
	yes please remove the order. I gave up after phoenix.

	eja82:	Jun 16th, 2010 at 16:41 GMT		1 point
	Maybe narrow it to the top 10 or something to keep it challenging, but having to answer the cities in order is a buzz kill.

	AceInTheHole:	Jun 16th, 2010 at 21:28 GMT		1 point
	Minneapolis has been much higher than 108.

	smekeldorfed:	Jun 16th, 2010 at 22:15 GMT		1 point
	I think it's a little bit ironic that the three most southern cities on the list are all in the bottom five.

	Chase:	Jun 16th, 2010 at 23:07 GMT		0 points
	Just to make it clear: What most of you seem to want is just to be able to list the top thirty most populous metro areas? I would expect that 90% of you could get all 30 and that also makes the temperature part completely irrelevant. I'll change it if everyone really wants it that way but I really don't see the point then...

	As far as the data goes, Seattle has never been 103. Sea-Tac was 103 last summer but that's not the area's largest city, Seattle is (see game info section at the top of the page). I don't know about the other cities, but I used weather.com to collect all the data. If the data is wrong take it up with them.

	Pillbug:	Jun 17th, 2010 at 00:36 GMT		2 points
	I think it is unfortunately just a case of a quiz seeming good in theory but not working out well in practice. There is not enough differentiation between the high temperatures of most of these cities. If you take out the order element, then you are correct that it will become merely a list of large metro areas. If you leave it in, players are left with trying every name in every spot as about the only possible way to get more than the first two. That's also pointless.

	I enjoyed trying to do it in order. I just needed more time.
