	For me the key was to watch the latitude progression and ignore the longitude.

	Dear Atlanta, you have no business being that far west. Please return to where you appear to be on my Mercator projection map.

	Atlanta's farther west than Detroit?!

	Yup. It is pretty much dead south of Cincinnati.

	Nope, we Atlantans know. Our sunrises are at really weird times, ~1 hour off from NYC and more than an hour off of Boston. Atlanta should basically be in the Central Time Zone. The best way to remember Atlanta's not-so-east-ness is to compare it to Cincinnati, which is in Western Ohio. They are virtually identical in longitude. The difference between the city centers is about .1°, or approximately 5-10 miles.

	ahhhhh.. that must be why the Atlanta Braves used to be in the NL WEST of Major League Baseball.

	odd Detroit....EAST Of Atlanta and NORTH of Windsor, ONT Canada.

	When started looking at the northern degrees this quiz got a lot easier!

	The list of cities in the answer key matches the west-to-east progression ... except Boston, between Cleveland and Miami. Odd.

	@someChaz - Mercator projection doesn't distort direction. Area and distance are distorted tremendously...but not direction. Ironically, that's the one thing that the Mercator projection does hold true throughout the map.

	damn you Atlanta! ;)

	Really would've messed with people to include Reno, which is west of L.A.

	@witz1960 - Not only were the Braves in the old NL West, the Atlanta Falcons were in the old NFL West in the NFL.

	Wow. I really thought Atlanta was farther west than Detroit. I got them all in 50 seconds eventually.

	This is a lot easier than the North to South one.
