Source: Kiplingers
Note that I have defined a city as a metro area with over 100,000 people. I cross referenced the Kiplinger list with the United States Census Bureau's population stats by city.

	It would be helpful if you could include some kind of definition of what you mean by "city." Is it places with at least X number of people? Places with a mayor? Something else? Even after clicking on your source link, I am unable to determine how the 383 metro areas that were examined were chosen.

	Great feedback. I have updated the definition of a city as a metropolitan area with over 100,000 people. I updated the list of 20 as appropriate. Thanks for the note.

	You should really accept 'washington' as that's the city's name.

	I've never seen Newark or Cambridge listed as separate metro areas from New York and Boston, but that's an issue with the source, not your quiz (which I like).

	What part of California is Seattle in?

	Hmm...I think I disagree with specifically how you adapted the source. You don't seem to be accepting alternate answers (e.g. Santa Clara has a population over 100,000, and so it should be accepted for San Jose, even if it's not the most populous member of the metro area). More generally, however, it seems incorrect to convert a metro area list to a cities list. I'd recommend listing the metro area as Kiplinger does, and accepted each of the cities as alternate answers.

	Thanks Anonymous 42. I updated some of the larger "metro area" answers to allow for acceptable alternatives. Good feedback.

	I really like your quiz. It's a really good idea as well.

	If you're going to define a city as a metro area with 100,000 people or more, then it really doesn't seem fair to include New York and Newark as separate cities - same with San Francisco/Oakland/Vallejo, and Boston/Cambridge, when they're pretty much inarguably in the same metro area.
