	enjoy and please comment. For those of you wondering, San Francisco has 805,235 people according to the census, and San Jose has 945,942, making the only 2 cities in CA of 1 million+ LA and San Diego, while Texas has Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston. It also has Fort Worth, Austin, and El Paso that will beat San Fran to 1 million, so California will never have more cities of 1 million than Texas.

	I have no clue what this quiz is asking for. Why is the first answeer "Staples: That was easy"? Very frustrating.

	In the answers area please put the actual state, not a comment. I agree, what is "Staples?" And you need to give more time.

	1) Crater lake answer is wrong - It is in 1 state south of what you have listed. 2) Your answer for the state bordering canada is also incorrect - while yes it does have a river, it also has 2 of the GREAT lakes separating Canada (erie/ontario) so it is misleading 3) The question about 2 word capital not landlocked is technically wrong as well since most people wouldn't consider Minnesota landlocked (on the great lakes)

	@dookpsu13: right on all three counts.

	Tennessee also has 8 borders.

	@dookpsu13--The question regarding Crater Lake is not incorrect. It asks what state is north of the state that has Crater Lake in it, which is Washington.

	Quiz would not accept "Tennessee" for the third question.

	beastlybeast:	May 17th, 2011 at 01:57 GMT		2 points
	Sorry-I had Kentucky instead of Tennessee My bad I added a clarification on landlocked and erased the Canada question. Thanks for your comments.

	I feel complications with the "headwaters of the longest North American river" question renders the answer wrong in some way or another, or at least controversial. If you go by name alone, what we call the Missouri River is I believe a bit longer than what we call the Mississippi River. By name, the Missouri is a tributary of the Mississippi, but technically it's sort of the other way around. The longest reach of this river system -- which is indeed the longest on the continent -- is through the Missouri River and the headwaters of its longest tributary in Montana. "Mississippi-Missouri-Jefferson-Beaverhead-Red Rock-Hellroaring Creek", as Wikipedia calls it. Either way you look at it, the "Mississippi River" or especially the "Upper Mississippi River" is just a misleading and unfortunate naming by early explorers of a shorter tributary of this river system. There's little incentive to go through the trouble of renaming everything, so there we have it!

	I suppose that it is a very confusing water system, so i will come up with a completely new question. Thank you.

	Fun quiz! Some of them really made me stop and think. I guess beastlybeast scrapped the old questions, but the Crater Lake one is right, just tricky.

	The Ohio River joins the Mississippi, not the Missouri. Other than that, fun quiz. I especially liked the two word capital, not landlocked state question.

	The questions regarding states with one and two borders should be clarified to indicate you're looking for borders WITH OTHER STATES. As it stands, Alaska should be a correct answer for one border, as it borders Canada, and Washington should not be an answer for two borders, as it borders Oregon, Idaho, and Canada. Otherwise, nice assortment of questions.

..and Texas borders 8 states, too. 4 US states, 4 Mexican states.

	Ok. To clear this up-I'm looking for borders with other US states.
