	Wait a minute, this isn't my father's watch. Come to think of it, my brother didn't have red hair. Maybe it was Las Cruces!

	It is interesting how many places are repeated like where I live Columbia.

	This is the kind of quiz that makes me love Sporcle.

	It's nice to see Green Bay on a quiz that isn't about football.

	It was harder than I thought it'd be but fun. Only got 84.

	this is excellent, just what makes sporcle fun. i encourage more quizzes like this one for other countries.

	Good quiz. Surprising and informative.

	Being a New Yorker, I was much more successful on the coasts. Anybody find the opposite? Honestly, I have never heard of Bellevue, Nebraska!

	CottonNero:	Jan 23rd, 2009 at 07:34 GMT		20 points
	104 right. Forgot a little town in Maryland called Baltimore, anybody heard of it? How embarrassing.

	owensboro... Never thought my home town would be "sporcle-worthy"

	78, not bad for a Brit, couldn't spell Albuquerque, annoyed that I didn't try Fargo though!

	Mike:	Jan 23rd, 2009 at 09:40 GMT		9 points
	83. But man, small New England states killed me. And being a Nebraskan, I was surprised to see Bellevue is now the third largest city. It used to be Grand Island. Either way, a crappy town.

	A lot of them seem to be metro area sharing. Warren, for example.

	Nice. Very hard, which isn't a bad thing. How about doing similar ones for other countries?

	Couldn't spell Worcester. Still got 132/150 though.

	Definitely one of the best sporcle quizzes! Got 80 and had plenty of "duh" moments when I saw the answers.

	@Leo: Great Wings reference. @Ben: Fantastic quiz as always.

	titaniferous:	Jan 23rd, 2009 at 14:31 GMT		13 points
	Love love love this quiz--very humbling for someone who thinks they know geography! The fascinating thing to me is the really huge cities like San Francisco and El Paso that got bumped off for missing their respective states' top threes.

	Awesome, awesome, awesome- one of my favorite recent quizzes. Extremely fun, and surprisingly difficult- I got 81, and that was apparently (judging by the stats) pretty good. Very surprising quiz, too, in that there were some cities I was sure would be there but weren't (I only got two of the three in my own state, for example), and there were a few (West Valley City, Utah? Nampa, Idaho?) that I'd never even heard of. And though I would've never thought of it, big ups to Aurora, Illinois- Wayne and Garth would be proud.

	Maybe it is just me but I didn't find 15 minutes to be enough time. Since this was one of those quizes that doesn't fit entirely on the screen I had to keep scrolling up just to put in answers. I got 95, but its not because I didn't know any more. 150 answers in 15 minutes means you have 6 seconds per answer. When I have to keep scrolling up just to keep entering choices that really isn't enough time. Oh right, and "This quiz is too American-biased, roflolmaolollerskates." Just to get it out there before someone else does. It is practically the new "first!" after all.
