	Do you think the quiz should be answered in order? I'd like your opinion...

	BombaySapphire:	Mar 11th, 2011 at 07:40 GMT	2 points
	I don't think it would do much harm to require answers in sequence; I did it in order anyway. Might benefit by reducing the time by a few minutes, though.

	I think it might be more interesting if you asked us to name one of the cities ranked 2-5 or even 3-5.

	this quiz is too easy...three quarters of the ppl who took it got all or almost all of them right

	giveupyet:	Mar 12th, 2011 at 05:42 GMT	5 points
	Awesome quiz! Don't even care if it's easy because it's fun.

	adhair:	Mar 12th, 2011 at 10:42 GMT	2 points
	I was plowing through this quiz, thinking "this is too easy," until I got to South Dakota and couldn't remember any city but the capital. I do agree that there's probably too much time.

	it would be a more 'educational' quiz if you revealed all 5 cities when answering correctly

	Fun quiz but cut back the time by a couple of minutes.

	adidag0:	Mar 12th, 2011 at 21:40 GMT	-1 points
	I think you should cut the time. It's pretty easy - name a city you've heard of in these states. It'd be challenging and very interesting if you had to do it in like 2 minutes.

	abdobrusin:	Mar 13th, 2011 at 01:56 GMT	1 point
	I agree with minnmich. Also take off 2 minutes.

	joallard:	Mar 13th, 2011 at 09:19 GMT	3 points
	I am a genie and I have granted your wishes! Took 2 minutes off to 3, and added the top 5 in the answer. I spent the last half-hour copy-pasting every line out of 50 and replacing slashes with comma-space, so I sure hope you guys like it!

	It wouldn't accept any of my answers for Washington??

	Chase:	Mar 13th, 2011 at 09:20 GMT	2 points
	Hmm tried it again and it did. Sporcle glitch. Odd.

	joallard:	Mar 13th, 2011 at 09:31 GMT	3 points
	That was my bad, for a few minutes Washington didn't take any answer. I tested it and as you pointed out corrected the glitch. But thank you for noticing.
