	Great quiz - but format was too difficult (lap top user).

	betraisefold:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 05:37 GMT		4 points
	@terp82: Without some sort of symbol, as soon as you typed the state to begin to answer it would answer everything - it needs to have something. Also, your format would essentially just be duplicates of individual quizzes grouped together - this format forces you to know several things together. But thanks for the feedback.

	@terp82: You do not seem to understand the "Foursomes From Sets" concept. If you had read the instructions, you wouldn't be complaining, because this quiz is great.

	@5daughters: Sorry about that, I considered making it 2 parts but decided to keep it all together - F11 will help to alleviate some of the scrolling problems.

	tahitiwahini:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 06:22 GMT		3 points
	One way to reduce the amount of scrolling necessary would be to make it answer-in-order then the clue would always be near the entry box. Of course, players would need to understand that regardless of the clue (state, capital, city, nickname) they would still have to enter state-capital-city-nickname. For people who can answer all four given just one it would make the quiz easier because they would never have to scroll. Players who need to look at the possibilities would be disadvantaged, but as it is now all players must scroll.

	People REALLY need to stop giving ratings of 1 to a quiz just because they don't get it or don't like it, it is the kind of thing that really makes me (and others) not want to invest hours into attempting to provide you with free entertainment. Check the Sporcle blog for guidelines for quiz ratings. @tahitiwahini: That would mean they would have to write the answer for each state in each column though, quadrupling the length of the quiz.

	tahitiwahini:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 13:04 GMT		4 points
	@betraisefold: point taken. It's better the way it is even with the scrolling. Since the states are in alphabetical order the need for scrolling is pretty minimal anyway. I think I only had to scroll down to look for some of the little known (to me) largest cities.

	Bowbow:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 16:01 GMT		6 points
	I like the idea, throwing in the nicknames forced me to think more. Good game.

	I thought it would be way too much time, then ended up finishing with just 40 sec left.

	weloveum:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 19:26 GMT		5 points
	One thing: for Mississippi, why "West Gulfport" instead of Gulfport?

	betraisefold:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 23:32 GMT		7 points
	@weloveum: Good point - I was forced to piece that together from numerous sources so I'm not even sure where I got that from. It has been changed, thanks. @andr5036: Let me know when you're done, I'll come see how it's supposed to be.

	borodino21:	May 1st, 2011 at 02:09 GMT		4 points
	Somehow, I just got 199/200 correct. The box next to Mississippi didn't trigger, although all of the other ones associated with Mississippi did.

	Great game. Lots of fun.

	yurase_ima_wo:	Sep 16th, 2011 at 17:59 GMT		2 points
	Forgive me, but I really just don't understand how to enter the answers. Do you just type everything together, like "indiana indianapolis fort wayne hoosier state"?

	krh5038:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 04:43 GMT		2 points
	Maybe you could put in the directions that we should use F11 to avoid scrolling cause I didn't even think about it. That could improve your ratings maybe?
