	Feel free to recommend additional or replacement analogies. Also, what do you guys think about being forced to answer in order?

	there is not an nfl stadium in newark

	duh. I'll fix that.

	For the first one, at least pick a city that's in the same state as Detroit. Way to confusing, since Toledo is in Ohio.

	It's not perfect, but overall I thought it was a cool idea for a quiz!

	For the Seattle : Vancouver one, I suggesting adding that you are referring to Vancouver, OR. I kept trying to think of analogies that would work for Seattle : Vancouver, BC and was getting frustrated that "Thunder Bay" wasn't working. As for Green Bay, they haven't played in Milwaukee in over a decade.

	This is a good idea, but there is simply too much subjectivity in most of the answers. For example, Louisville could just as easily be related to Cincinnati as Dayton, especially since they are in separate states. Oakland could just as easily be an answer for the "Baltimore/Washington" question. Also, I don't think the Green Bay/Milwaukee analogy fits with Los Angeles & Anaheim.

	I live in Minnesota, and the Duluth/Superior one is pretty far-fetched. Superior is a tiny town, as opposed to the city of Duluth.

	Judging by the results (including my own) the Las Vegas : Atlantic City one should be changed...

	skSK:	Jul 14th, 2010 at 21:07 GMT		2 points
	I agree with DJ and scoripyo. Thunder Bay is a more logical answer than Superior, given that the Seattle-Vancouver pairing suggests that you're looking for another American-Canadian combination. Furthermore, you may want to change the entire Seattle-Vancouver clue anyway, since Seattle is in the Puget Sound and Vancouver is on the Strait of Georgia. While the "Salish Sea" is now official in the U.S., it isn't in Canada and I would argue that the name doesn't have that much meaning in the general culture of either country.

	Was expecting Seattle : Vancouver :: Duluth : Thunder Bay. Duluth and Thunder Bay are a few hours apart and separated by an international boundary, like Seattle and Vancouver. Duluth and Superior are just separated by a bridge, you can get from one to the other in a couple minutes.
