Good concept for a quiz, but the execution needs some serious work. You should accept shortened versions of these metro areas, as you do with Laredo/Nuevo Laredo. For instance, for San Diego/Tijuana, I had to type "city, state/city, state", with the US city listed first. That's just ridiculous.

schlomonomo, I thought about this when I created the quiz ... and I'm pretty sure I've made it where you just have to type the city names (in either order), except for one of the more obscure ones. Typing "San Diego Tijuana" works, as does "Tijuana San Diego."

Your format was nearly impossible for me to figure out. There needs to be some way to communicate what, exactly, you're looking for in responses. :/ I love the idea, though.

typing simply "yuma" worked, but not mcallen, brownsville, or san diego
