	tough game, i wouldn't make it restricted though

	I'm angry. Great quiz...undoubtedly...but I typed in BOTH "Timberwolves" and "Bucks", which was the only answer I had left, and it accepted neither...otherwise, this is an awesome quiz. 5 sporcle globe...things...!!!!

	You might want to look at the Portland Trail Blazers (to Sacramento) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (to San Diego) - both should be on the list.

	pwbamforth:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 04:44 GMT	1 point
	Surely Portland should be on the list for their NBA team? With no team in Seattle anymore the closest must be the Sacramento Kings.

	I fixed the mistakes mentioned above. Sorry about a couple of misspellings which have been fixed as well. Let me know if anyone notices anything else.

	I really don't think that answering in order is necessary. Good idea though.

	minus_the_bear:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 05:25 GMT	7 points
	no answering in order, it takes away from the game. for the sake of keeping it difficult, you could also then reduce the time...

Comment below threshold: show it

	it should definitely not be necessary to enter answers in order.

	Gord93:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 09:30 GMT	7 points
	This shouldn't be restricted.

	Vancouver is much further away from Calgary than San Jose is from LA. Not close.

	thamesx2:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 14:22 GMT	2 points
	I like answering in order because it makes you think about it and not guess.

	uva_rob:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 15:22 GMT	2 points
	I'm getting about 340 air miles from Phoenix to Anaheim using Google Earth, which would make it further than LA to San Jose.

	Coyotes (Ducks)

	geowiz85:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 17:17 GMT	-1 points
	i quit, answering in order is ridiculous, look at the closest sports team quiz, thats not forced answer

	SamB45:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 17:58 GMT	0 points
	100%

	tjconn728:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 18:35 GMT	2 points
	Great quiz, very unique. I actually would have thought you'd find more of the same city pairs in the different sports. And answering in order is much better, otherwise you could just randomly guess different teams, this one makes you think about it more, especially since you can eliminate all the teams that fall between Chicago, Washington, and Boston pretty quickly.

	Great quiz. Keep the ordered answers. However, once you get the pattern, and if you know all the teams, it becomes a little easier.

	chris9:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 21:01 GMT	2 points
	not necessary to make user answer in order

	conradmcmasters:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 22:03 GMT	1 point
	shouldn't the chargers also be on the NFL list, since their closest team is also 298 miles away (Arizona)?

	amehta:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 22:44 GMT	0 points
	dont keep them in order. reduce the time instead.

	baron:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 00:32 GMT	-1 points
	ehhhhhh terrible design. it's not like anybody actually knows the exact distances for each team on this list, so what's the point? just let the player name the teams for each sport and end it.

	atlhunt47:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 00:45 GMT	4 points
	Restricted answering is the only way to go. Otherwise, everyone can type-spam all the sports teams and just get the quiz 100 percented. The point is to actually think about it.

	restricted makes it the opposite of fun

	TerryM:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 04:30 GMT	0 points
	I would have loved this quiz if you could answer in any order. I can think of no reason why you would want to make it otherwise. "Oh, right, the Suns aren't 371 miles. They're 357 miles. How could I have been so stupid?"
