	Minneapolis is the major city in the Twin Cities metro area, not St. Paul!

	Minneapolis ain't a capital.

	I think it is counting Minneapolis-St. Paul as one city, as they are one metro area.

	Still, if its a quiz over capital cities, Minneapolis should not be accepted. Also, the time should be decreased to about 1 or 2 minutes, and a more credible source should be added (try the US Census Bureau). Great idea!

	i think since this is a quiz over capitol cities, it should just be the city proper of those capitols and not include tons of other cities as metro pops do

	I've always felt that metro populations were a better measure because of the different ways cities are incorporated and expanded in each state. Phoenix is the largest state capital by municipal pop., but if you've been to Phoenix and Atlanta, I think it's obvious that Atlanta is bigger.

	I decided to change it to municipal population, and used Census data.

	Austin isn't the largest city in Texas.

	Oops, I changed the order a little when I looked at more recent data, and forgot to change the hints. It's fixed now.

	too much time, random naming of capitals is too easily done, drop a minute or more
