	For the further down questions you do not need to scroll down...it shows the answer near the answer box.

	Gjezman:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 07:58 GMT	0 points
	shows the question i meant to say

	Antithesys:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 08:29 GMT	2 points
	Okay, so not that I have anything against Wilder, but accepting only her for "Famous Minnesota Author" implies you've only heard of one famous Minnesota author, and not F Scott Fitzgerald, Garrison Keillor, Sinclair Lewis, John Sandford, and I suppose I'll throw in Diablo Cody.

	Gjezman:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 08:46 GMT	0 points
	good point i will expand that section

	Gjezman:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 08:48 GMT	0 points
	@I actually was going to use Keillor in a seperate question but it didnt make final cut for me anyway.

	webmaestro2000:	Oct 4th, 2009 at 03:30 GMT	5 points
	i love it, of course, but answers should be more consistent - for some ranks, 21 is okay, for others, 21st required - stuff like that. a good review of a great state. go Twins!

	Eight is accepted for congressional districts but not 8? And 4 states rather than just 4?

	jaho:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 01:55 GMT	3 points
	Fun quiz, but I agree too that there are several other answers that could have been accepted on some of them. I'd include Finnish among the major ancestry groups; "Miracle" among the movies set in Minnesota (at least in part); Lutheran for major religion; and Bobby Vee (current resident of the St. Cloud area and still tours in the Midwest) as an alternate answer on famous pop star.

	Also pretty sure the city size list is out of order...

	mfmoroni:	Nov 10th, 2009 at 23:58 GMT	-1 points
	Cities I believe are Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, Rochester, and Bloomington in that order. 8 Should be acceptable for congressional districts. 4 should be acceptable for number of states bordering 2 and 4 should be acceptable for life expectancy/health rank And staple would be the actual thing that attaches the paper. Maybe rephrase?

	Gjezman:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 08:43 GMT	-2 points
	well your wrong

	demo0043:	Nov 12th, 2009 at 20:30 GMT	-2 points
	http://www.theus50.com/minnesota/cities.php Check it out, Duluth is indeed the 3rd largest city, followed by Rochester and then Bloomington.

	JohnnyDeep:	Nov 15th, 2009 at 11:46 GMT	1 point
	what about juno for movies

	Gjezman:	Nov 24th, 2009 at 07:34 GMT	0 points
	Game is now accepting single character answers.

	marothisu:	Dec 12th, 2009 at 11:12 GMT	3 points
	I can't believe people think Duluth is the third largest city. Actually, Rochester is the third largest city in Minnesota. According to the 2008 American Community Survey from the United States Census Bureau, the official word on this, Rochester is the third largest with a population of 101,659 (http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/ADPTable?_bm=y&-geo_id=16000US2754880&-qr_name=ACS_2008_1YR_G00_DP5&-context=adp&-ds_name=&-tree_id=308&-_lang=en&-redoLog=false&-format=) Duluth: 84,497 Bloomington: 81,129 Plymouth: 72,898 Population from highest to lowest goes: Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester, Duluth, Bloomington, Plymouth. If you want to search for yourself, then you can search the official and only source for the United States government: http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/ADPGeoSearchByListServlet?_lang=en&_ts=278665927709

	Why are so many people getting lake superior wrong? Did you add it after the beginning? Because otherwise I can't see how more people know about WE Fest than are able to tell Minnesota borders Lake Superior.

	djroars:	Apr 4th, 2010 at 19:20 GMT	1 point
	Yeah, Rochester has been the third biggest city for about the past 15 years or so, that should be corrected. Also, "Feeling Minnesota," should probably be added as an answer to the movie question.

	BooYAH:	May 3rd, 2010 at 04:08 GMT	2 points
	I typed in "Land of 10,000 Lakes" and its not being accepted

	MisterF:	Dec 14th, 2010 at 23:45 GMT	3 points
	Maybe you could also accept "Don'cha know" for the stereotypical Minnesota sayings. Either way, fun quiz.

	irishheadgear:	Feb 22nd, 2011 at 15:57 GMT	1 point
	The MSP airport is actually in both St. Paul (Lindbergh Terminal) and Minneapolis (Humphrey Terminal).

	TheVictors:	Apr 25th, 2011 at 06:10 GMT	3 points
	Great quiz for the greatest state!

	eagle22:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 03:26 GMT	2 points
	@irishheadgear: hence, the Minneapolis-St. Paul part. The clue says Minnesota, not Minneapolis. Just wondering, what's the reasoning for the color scheme? Not important, just interesting. And @thevictors: yeah, we are pretty awesome!

	What about Owl City? Also, I'd like to know where you got your "popular outdoor activities" from. Don't take that as accusatory, just curious.

	ademuth93:	Sep 30th, 2011 at 00:29 GMT	1 point
	You forgot Sinclair Lewis, a major Minnesotan author.
