	The Anchorage one has the name right on the map. Is there someway to blank that out?

	49% of people didn't get Anchorage? It's written right on the bloody map, people! Anchorage is a city just as much as Africa is a country! (no, wait, that's not right...)

	maybe a bit too US-Centric but eliminating Charlottesville (a TINY city) and replacing with say Havana or so might help go a long ways?

	It seems like Anchorage has now been blurred out. That explains why the results for that one were so high.

	I doubt I'd get C'ville if I didn't live (t)here.

	you should have used pictures from apple maps. now that would be challenging

	@BigDaddyMatty, I knew it because Jefferson both founded and designed UVA, which is there.

	Guessed Washington for Fort McHenry 'cause I've been there (or a similar fort)... didn't go to the next logical guess. 100% on Canadian cities as a new resident of the country! Boom!

	10/16 is pretty good I reckon.

	@Tony_A- Excellent work. That was exactly why I chose the section of map showing those roads. I originally made this quiz using Google maps but was unable to secure permission from Google to use them (because Google licenses the maps from a third party vendor there are very specific limitations on how they can be reproduced). I switched them to maps from Openstreetmap and when I did that I forgot to blur out the word 'Anchorage'. My thanks to the admins for fixing that.

	@Hejman, thanks. I was about to correct you and say that the road that leads to Ft. McHenry is E. Fort Avenue. As a lifelong resident of the Baltimore metro area, I never knew that it changed to Constellation Plaza.

	Excellent choices, Hejman. The hard ones are gettable if you know your trivia, which is the point. (Jefferson founded UVA, the siege of Fort McHenry inspired the Star-Spangled Banner, Ted Stevens was Senator from Alaska for many years and a vocal champion of the "Bridge to Nowhere".) More please!

	Lol I was guessing pothead US cities for Bob Marley one, should have known it was in Jamaica!

	DesertSpartan:	Oct 1st, 2012 at 22:25 GMT		2 points
	I guessed Richmond, Norfolk, Virginia Beach and even Alexandria and Monticello. It occured to me that he started UVA as I applied to grad school at UVA in 1996, but for the live of me I couldn't think of the city. I knew it started with a C but I was guessing Clarksburg, Clarkesville and a bunch of others sure they were wrong, but grasping at straws. Sometimes Sporcle makes me feel so dumb or else senile.

	wow i'm from charlottesville and i didnt even try it because i was figured it was WAY too small to be in the quiz

	mattmag:	Oct 2nd, 2012 at 02:46 GMT		5 points
	Excellent quiz concept! Charlottesville seems a little out of place though. Can you accept Mexico DF for Mexico City?
