	Hmmm...I thought we already did the Mountain Time Zone states. Thought this would just be Pacific Time Zone, for the first bit (until I read the instructions).

	And Anchorage is also a bonus. I wonder, what is the criteria for listing as a bonus answer?

	Apparently, mcory has never been to Omaha, Oklahoma City, or Kansas City.

	Or anywhere else probably. Seriously mcory, are you just being a jerk to be a jerk?

	Sporcle has been getting kind of repetitive lately. Isn't this basically just a combination of largest cities in the Mountain and Pacific time zone quizzes? I'd rather see a "Largest Cities in Kyrgyzstan" quiz. At least then I'd learn something I didn't know already.

	@Iceberg: Then I guess you missed all Texas cities and north (save for El Paso). It's really no more repetetive than "Countries of _____" when "Countries of the World" already exists. The fun thing about trivia is making that slight criterion change that humbles the most prideful of players.

	Not an expert on my foreign geography/history, so could somebody explain why Kansas City is not in Kansas?

	@crytopian Actually, there is a Kansas City in Kansas, right across the river from the big Kansas City, which is in Missouri. Still confused? Probably.

	When will I learn to spell Tucson properly?

	cryptopian:	Jun 9th, 2010 at 22:49 GMT	3 points
	@puckett. I forgot there was a Kansas City in Kansas. There's probably some historical reason for it.

	Isn't New Orleans technically west of the Mississippi?

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Jun 9th, 2010 at 23:26 GMT	4 points
	@Havok3595, it's very tricky with some of these cities right on the river, but I believe when I made this I concluded that it was on both sides- it doesn't matter anyway as it wouldn't make the list. And @Iceberg, I agree with btroup1. I've made an entire Sporcle career out of organizing and reorganizing cities and countries, after all! I do see how this is very similar to my time zone quizzes and yours is a valid complaint to be sure, but there's always going to be those who like or dislike any quiz- and this type of thing still appeals to plenty of people, myself included.
