	"Body of water"... just how large are we talking? Need to be much more specific there.

	NYYanks:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 02:24 GMT		2 points
	Ok i made it more clear in the instructions. Sorry about that.

	dlte:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 03:17 GMT		8 points
	Miami is wrong no matter what i put in it, except for 'S', when nothing happens.

	Zak6009:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 04:18 GMT		4 points
	Ditto on that... I was gonna say that I blew up on what I thought was correct for Miami (which would mean you had an error), but dlte statement implies there's something wrong with that square altogether...

	MisterF:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 04:44 GMT		9 points
	Figured out that the final city accepts 'f' rather than 'e'. Use if necessary.

	Zak6009:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 06:29 GMT		3 points
	Ah thanks! Hah, now the timer is eating away while I'm trying to find what the two closest cities are...

	Fusty:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 08:08 GMT		3 points
	what does adjacent mean? does it include diagonals

	NYYanks:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 11:59 GMT		2 points
	So sorry to all. The Miami clue is fixed.

	thedpr:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 12:20 GMT		1 point
	1) Fix the grammar in the KC clue. Also make it clear you are not talking about, say, the Louisville Cardinals. 2) "... shares diagonals with all avoided cities" is terribly worded. It does not share a diagonal with every avoided city. You mean to say, Every city that shares a diagonal with it is avoided.

	PatsoverGiants:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 16:50 GMT		6 points
	Yeah, in the Dallas clue it says that all adjacent cities are in the parade, and Cleveland blew me up.

	NYYanks:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 17:05 GMT		2 points
	^^ Start and end cities are also in the parade.

	SomeoneRandom:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 17:46 GMT		-2 points
	NYYanks: That comment about 'Start and end cities are also in the parade' talking about Cleveland, makes an otherwise good quiz into a cruel puzzle where it seems like you are trying to outsmart us. The Cleveland thing needs to be changed.

	NYYanks:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 18:09 GMT		-1 points
	^ Logic puzzles have to be challenging. It can't be straightforward. Thinking has to go on to make it good.

	Booger:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 18:35 GMT		3 points
	Too many confusing clues that can be read to include or exclude certain cities. In addition, the "Every row and column has at least one city in the parade" clue is totally unnecessary to solve the puzzle, unless of course I am misreading one or more of these clues.

	itstheimplcation:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 18:48 GMT		2 points
	@Booger: I think the possibility of a useless clue makes these puzzles more challenging and fun. If you know for sure that every clue is useful, then that's a clue in and of itself. In this puzzle, the useless clue just wastes time, but in some other puzzles they have thrown me off for a while.

	BR8N03epsilon:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 21:13 GMT		-1 points
	"Adjacent includes diagonals" "Every city adjacent to me is in the parade" Entered P for all of them. Cleveland said wrong.

	Kahlvin:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 22:42 GMT		32 points
	My knowledge of the US interstate highway system is too limited for this quiz.

	Which 2 cities are closest together? I got stuck at that clue

	NYYanks:	Dec 9th, 2012 at 15:14 GMT		2 points
	I'm making a walkthrough currently so you can see (Baltimore and Washington)

	iknow:	Dec 9th, 2012 at 19:35 GMT		4 points
	This quiz was nice, but as a non-American I had to use a map to get the highways and closest cities right. But it still is a logic puzzle, so I don't consider it cheating. But overall it worked fine for me, nice job.

	marpocky:	Dec 9th, 2012 at 22:21 GMT		10 points
	Of all the cities between Sacramento and Des Moines, you went with Salt Lake City, despite the "bodies of water" thing? So now you have to go out of your way to say that the Great Salt Lake is not a body of water that counts? Why not just change it to Reno, Cheyenne, Lincoln, or Omaha?

	churchgeek:	Dec 10th, 2012 at 08:12 GMT		7 points
	I'd like to see the parade route! :D

	GreatScott:	Dec 10th, 2012 at 15:38 GMT		5 points
	The New Orleans clue about NY sharing diagonals with only avoided cities threw me. Maybe say, 'share whole diagonals,' or 'shares along diagonals.' I stopped at the adjacent cites. Not bad otherwise.

	PSU840:	Dec 10th, 2012 at 19:17 GMT		3 points
	Agree with GreatScott. All cities diagonal to NYC are avoided. I thought "shared" meant only the locations that are shared by their direct diagonals are avoided (Houston and Denver)

	NYYanks:	Dec 10th, 2012 at 19:25 GMT		2 points
	^^ Ok ill make that clearer

	vcpavao:	Dec 11th, 2012 at 01:27 GMT		-1 points
	does adjacent include diagonals?

	deej:	Dec 11th, 2012 at 03:15 GMT		3 points
	"Louisville and Chicago are both avoided or in the parade." I interpreted this as "neither are S or E" but it wasn't clear that you meant that whatever they were, they were the same. I would definitely re-word this clue to mkake it clear that they are the same.

	Underdog518:	Dec 11th, 2012 at 15:13 GMT		-2 points
	Your concept of what is or isn't a body of water is totally fercacked...terrible quiz.

	msomi:	Dec 11th, 2012 at 15:22 GMT		11 points
	Fun quiz, but what kind of parade goes through Salt Lake City and avoids New Orleans??

	NYYanks:	Dec 11th, 2012 at 16:08 GMT		4 points
	I edited some hints to make them clearer. Thanks for the feedback!

	^^ Almost every logic puzzle has a walkthrough: Country Trivia, Carmen Sandiego, Harry Potter, Thanksgiving Dinner, and tons more. So why don't you stop criticizing me when your mad because you can't do it.

	Chief92:	Dec 12th, 2012 at 23:24 GMT		1 point
	You've made some good logic puzzles but Im sorry this is not one of them. You have to choose to follow one particular path and can't deviate from it even if there are other clues out there. Most people would start by saying Dallas is safe. My next move would be to say all the cities around it are avoided, but boom quiz over. Most other logic puzzles allow you to follow different paths and still get the same end result.

	LiverpoolFCUCLA:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 18:50 GMT		3 points
	Enjoyed the quiz very much. Went much better when I learned the I5 and I15 cities. Chief92, re-read the very first clue. Thanks NY for the time and effort.

	Is the one about cities that border Canada supposed to read cities in states that border Canada?

	NYYanks:	Dec 15th, 2012 at 02:49 GMT		2 points
	^^ No. its the cities that border Canada

	If the parade avoided water bodies,why did las vegas end my game if i put "A"

	spindoc:	Jan 12th, 2013 at 17:04 GMT		5 points
	Re: the miami clue, I interpreted the"turns at the next city" to mean it enters it. If you put "turns before the next city" it would be clearer. Overall, too many of the clues are poorly worded. A logic puzzle should test logic, not one's ability to guess what you mean.
