	It's Nova Scotia.

	dmwolfe14:	May 28th, 2010 at 19:26 GMT		7 points
	There are way too many possibilities for some of these categories. U.S. States starting with M, Islands, Island countries, U.S. capitals...these are some notable examples. And there are definitely more.

	@coulraphobic123: Thanks. That one slipped through my proofreading :-)

	egernunge:	May 28th, 2010 at 19:39 GMT		3 points
	@dmwolfe14: I intentionally made it hard. I find that these quizzes are a lot more fun when the different answers are ambivalent. I did have doubts about the islands and islands countries one though. Should I delete one of them?

	Ebag:	May 28th, 2010 at 19:51 GMT		4 points
	I like the effort, but I think this one went a little far with the misdirections. While there are supposed to answers that could fall into more than one category, the categories themselves are too similar to discern one from another (like Islands vs Island Nations).

	Too much overlap. Algiers for example is both an A metro as well as an African capital.

	egernunge:	May 28th, 2010 at 21:07 GMT		1 point
	Thanks for the feedback. I changed the islands in the island category, and made a few other changes as well. Hopefully it will make the quiz a little more enjoyable

	Sorry this just doesn't work. Too many answers that correctly fit categories but aren't the answer. The other quizzes like this work because there are half-categories there not 6 answers for 4 spots.

	joeplus:	May 28th, 2010 at 22:58 GMT		2 points
	I tried this three times not showing the answers. The ambiguity was kind of fun, it's like an even-harder episode of Only Connect.

	cmeyers47:	May 29th, 2010 at 06:13 GMT		3 points
	What a fun concept! I really enjoyed it. I concur with the others about the ambiguity; it threw me off at first, and I kept thinking, "But that's a perfectly good category!" By the end I realized that it was intentional and it didn't bother me so much.

	Like people have been saying, too much ambiguity and uncertainty.

	egernunge:	May 29th, 2010 at 12:20 GMT		2 points
	OK, I weeded out some of the ambiguous answers and changed one of the categories. I hope that improves the quiz. However, I think I'm becoming a little blind to the ambiguity of the clues, so if there are any of the clues that cause particular trouble, please leave a comment and let me know which one(s).

	I think the quiz would be easier to understand if the groups of four were located on the same row and not scattered within four different columns.

	egernunge:	May 29th, 2010 at 14:44 GMT		2 points
	Did you read the instructions? The point is to figure out which clues are connected. If the clues were on the same row, it would no longer be a quiz.

	enamez06:	May 29th, 2010 at 15:21 GMT		-4 points
	you need to accept more answers, such as NYC boroughs instead of having to type boroughs of NYC

	Andiyan:	May 29th, 2010 at 15:22 GMT		3 points
	Great quiz, love how it was challenging by having answers that fit into several categories. Does not need any more work imo.

	UWhuskytskeet:	May 29th, 2010 at 16:28 GMT		-2 points
	@egernunge I admittedly didn't read the instructions, but after doing so the quiz makes even less sense. Why can I type "rivers" and get the correct answers when the instructions say I need to type "Missouri" "Nile" "Niger" and "Yangtze". This quiz is full of holes and the score reflects that. It has great potential, I would take it down and fix the error so many pointed out.

	pembersep:	May 29th, 2010 at 20:14 GMT		3 points
	I loved it. Thanks for continuing on this type of puzzle. Try not to get dismayed by the folks who misunderstood the instructions. (To those folks: the players in the "miscellaneous" area had also trouble coming up with the right wording for these instructions; it's not easy to explain!) Although I agree with the folks who found some of the categories confusing (some of the clues would've worked as A-metros or M-states, for example), I gave you 5 sporcle balls, because I enjoyed playing (and to encourage you and others to make more puzzles like this). If I knew how to make this kind of quiz (sets of four in 20-or-so categories), I would! How did you do it anyway? :)

	kondjott:	Jun 2nd, 2010 at 17:24 GMT		0 points
	I really like this style quiz (I made one like it for the "movies" category) but it really doesn't work well if there are multiple answers in a column that could fit a category, like several other people have pointed out.
