	Huntington is misspelled. And Aurora is a bad choice - the one in Colorado is larger than the one in Illinois, but you only accept Illinois.

	'Try and think of the most known one' is not the best way to do this quiz. Aurora, Wilmington, and Carthage are problems. Fort Carson?

	Also concerning Aurora, there is one in Nebraska as well.

	You need to use unique city names if you're doing a quiz like this. I would argue you didn't even use the 'best known' or whatever descriptor you might use. For example, Bowling Green OHIO, Mt Pleasant, MI are both home to Divison I universities, yet neither answer was correct.

	There's a Newark in Delaware also.

	What, exactly, is the answer for Mount Pleasant? I tried Michigan, Texas, Iowa, Tennessee, and Utah, all of which have a city of Mount Pleasant (no other states do), but none of these answers were accepted. Mount Pleasant, Michigan, being the largest (and home to a Division I univeristy has minnmich wrote) would probably be the "most known one".

	This quiz is problematic because, as others pointed out, many of these cities are in multiple states. In fact, 24 of these cities are in multiple states. Three (Carthage, Newark, and Huntington) are in six states. Also, places like Wilmington and Bristol are well known in multiple states. Lastly, three of these "cities" are not cities are at all (Fort Carson, Metairie, and Hilo, although Hilo can probably "slide" given Hawaii doesn't have any incorporated cities).

	@GeoFan1: The "correct" answer for Mount Pleasant is South Carolina, but I would have had to skip that one if I hadn't already gotten the Michigan city. I agree with the above comments and would add Fayetteville as well: Fayetteville, NC is larger than Fayetteville, AR, yet Arkansas is the "right" answer.

	Wow tough crowd Pass.

	"Some of these cities are not the only one in the U.S. Try to think of the most known one though" Seems more than a tad subjective...

	Way too many multiple answers here. I knew it was hopeless when I got Colorado wrong for Aurora. There are multiple Auroras, Mount Pleasants, Sheridans, Newarks, Wilmingtons, & others in the US. I know this & I'm not even American. Please redo this quiz with unique cities; the quiz itself is not a bad idea if executed properly. I'd go with 'Truth or Consequences' for New Mexico. :)
