The absence of Philly is mildly shocking although a majority of the population is not in the middle-to-upper class demographic that Starbucks caters towards. Same goes for Detroit, Baltimore, and Milwaukee.

I might be inclined to give continental clues rather than country clues. As soon as your clue is UK, how can anyone possibly get it wrong? Same with Singapore being the clue. It's impossible to get wrong. If the clue was Asia though you might get some people taking a stab at Mumbai or Kuala Lumpur and if Europe then people might try Paris first. That, IMHO, would make it a better quiz. You could up the time a couple of minutes to compensate.

Having said that only 82.8% of people got Singapore. Think they ned to try the world capitals quiz before the do this.

Shocked our capital has more Starbuckses than an American city. I agree that the country clues give all the non-American ones away, and for a Brit like me it did kind of end up as guessing big American cities. But a great quiz for all nonetheless. Well done, innovative idea.

Starbucks is from and still based in Seattle, which explains the west coast US popularity. East coast cities like boston and philly are not as prevalent most likely due to the high popularity of dunkin donuts in the region.

I knew not to try Salt Lake City (no caffeine) or Boston/Philly (cult of Dunkin Donuts); a few others surprised me.

Nothing like seeing a Starbucks across the street from another Starbucks to make you scratch your head. (in Washington DC)

I don't know about you, but over 200 Starbucks in one city seems like a lot.

You should accept DC as an answer for Washington. (Weird fact: Washington isn't even the legal name of the city - it's just "District of Columbia." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.)

The problem with northeastern cities (well especially Boston) is not just the Dunkin' Donuts factor (no America does not run on Dunkin, only like 3 states kind of do), but the fact that the city proper is the size of most small towns. I bet in the Greater Boston Area, there would be equivalent starbuckses to other similar metro areas in the US. I think it is basically proportional to the population, except for a little lower ratio in places like Boston and Philly and higher in Portland and definitely Seattle.

@wasting2muchtime - you'd be pretty hard pressed to find a significant number of starbucks in boston...dunkin donuts is everywhere and they keep multiplying like gremlins...pretty much choked out all starbucks

According to Lewis Black, seeing a Starbucks across the street from another Starbucks is the end of the universe. His example is in Houston.

There are plenty of Starbucks in Philly. Still, it's not where most people go. They don't run on Dunkin, either. It's Wawa.

Seeing these enormous figures makes me even wonder more why there are only 3 (THREE!) Starbuckses in Belgium. And 2 of them are at Brussels Airport...

I have to wonder if it's really going by city limits, or by postal address. The L.A. figure seems low compared to other similar cities; it may not include all the ones in the San Fernando Valley, Venice, San Pedro, etc.

@bampote: you're correct about the legal name of the city of Washington: http://www.dcpages.com/History/DC_Name_History.shtml As far as Sporcle goes I think it's perfectly appropriate to only accept Washington as the US capital city, in much the same spirit as we accept only Libya for "Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya." Interestingly, Washington is most often referred to as DC in the Washington metropolitan area. I think that has more to do with the fact that it's just easier to say (and write) DC than it is Washington, rather than a hypersensitivity to legalities. In the rest of the of the US outside the immediate metro area I would say Washington becomes the more common way to refer to DC. Outside the US I would say Washington is much more commonly used than DC. For those reasons I wouldn't ask for DC as an accepted alternate, but if the quiz creator wanted to add it as one I wouldn't object.

In response to some of your comments, I changed the hint category from "Country" to "Continent." In anticipation of this making the quiz substantially harder, I added another minute. Thanks for all the feedback!

Istanbul spans on 2 continents. Then again, if you put Europe/Asia it would be too easy :(

True fact: a Boston-area newspaper rentals/real estate section was reporting "Starbucks/dunkin donuts ratio" in various neighborhoods as a measure of their degree of gentrification.
