	now accepting mt whitney

	Should take "Badwater" for lowest point. Otherwise, a fine quiz.

	interludes:	May 2nd, 2010 at 01:43 GMT	4 points
	Edited to add Badwater, thanks for the feedback.

	Just when I thought I could avoid having to spell Schwarzenegger by sticking to Geography...

	How could ANYONE not vote this five out of five? This was well done.

	fwchoi:	May 4th, 2010 at 09:59 GMT	3 points
	Almost got this perfect, stupid quail! I thought it was the condor!

	confused:	May 4th, 2010 at 12:30 GMT	3 points
	Weird that the first question was ninth on the results list. I mean, there's only two choices...

	snoreway:	May 4th, 2010 at 12:31 GMT	4 points
	This was nice, but you could've added more, like First Governor, First President born there, Animal on the Flag, Phrase on the Flag, Largest University...

	@TheBigE1980 I gave it 4/5 because almost half the quiz (18/40) is sports. If this were a quiz about my state, I would want to see more than sports teams on it. I know California has a lot of sports teams, but the quiz maker could have at least replaced MLS teams with something else as MLS is not Big 4. See snoreway's comment for a few suggestions. Also, I think the "State or Commonwealth" question is a little ridiculous. Questions with only a couple of choices just don't work on Sporcle. It's still a good quiz though.

	ablackperson:	May 4th, 2010 at 19:42 GMT	3 points
	Seriously, too many sports questions...made me score in the 39th percentile on my own state. Other than that, I like it.

	interludes:	May 4th, 2010 at 20:44 GMT	1 point
	Yeah, sorry about all the sports but I really wasn't sure what else I could add. I like the concept of the states games so next time I'll add some of snoreway's suggestions and look around for some other things to add. Thanks for all the feedback, everyone.

	I agree with aboyandhisblob, don't remove any sports, maybe just add some other categories. Also you could add some bonuses for former Californian teams, eg. Rockets, Seals, Rams...

	mrpotwtf69:	May 5th, 2010 at 03:57 GMT	5 points
	I think you should accept The Governator even though I somehow got Schwarzenegger spelled right.

	Whit27:	May 9th, 2010 at 13:44 GMT	6 points
	Thank you for accepting terminator! I tried it on a whim when I was faced with spelling Schwarzenegger and it was accepted! Also, Roman Catholic isn't a religion, its a religious denomination. I think instead of changing the answer you could just ask for the largest religious denomination. Otherwise, great quiz!

	gameboyguy13:	May 10th, 2010 at 14:39 GMT	0 points
	Strongly agreed that this quiz is way too sports-heavy. @aboyandhisblob: I live in California and don't give a **** about sports; I only got the ones local to me because they're the ones that cause transit delays.

	Iceberg:	May 10th, 2010 at 23:43 GMT	1 point
	Governator! Ha!

	Austerlitz:	Jun 21st, 2010 at 03:07 GMT	1 point
	Being a nerd, I usually try to avoid quizzes on sports. This geography quiz lulled me into a false sense of security.

	killerbill:	Jun 23rd, 2010 at 03:18 GMT	1 point
	too many sports teams get rid of the soccer ones

	Sjoerd:	Jul 2nd, 2010 at 00:26 GMT	0 points
	nice to accept Terminator for the governor. Only sports team I knew was a soccer team, so get rid of the other sport answers...

	wanmower:	Aug 8th, 2011 at 05:20 GMT	1 point
