	hey did I put the most recognizable landmark for each state in the quiz or did I miss something that I could have included... let me know in the comments and maybe I'll change it :)

	sweett310:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 04:44 GMT		2 points
	Great quiz, but I think you can take a few minutes off. Maybe make it 6 or 7 minutes? I answered 28 that I knew and had 4 minutes to just guess randomly.

	deadperson21:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 05:46 GMT		9 points
	I think a lot of these are pretty obscure, or it may just be there's no well-known landmarks in some of the states. Bigger pictures would help too ... a few, like the Oklahoma one, took me a little while to figure out what the picture was of.

	Some states just don't have any landmarks as distinctive as others.

	elcropsziuq:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 06:48 GMT		2 points
	I would not shave off any time. Quite a few of them I had a hard time seeing what they were (but that's on me with my vision)plus a few seems very obscure. I think adding a bit of time would be more beneficial- but that's me.... surprised the Sears Tower was not used...

	I really like this quiz idea. Sad to say, I would suggest Mohegan Sun over the Glass House as your Connecticut landmark. For Delaware, I would suggest a photo of that one scene from Wayne's World.

	codejlandt:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 15:46 GMT		4 points
	And, of course, New Hampshire's landmark no longer exists (though that's perhaps not reason enough to remove it from this list). (Moreover, it's Old Man of the Mountain, not Old Man in the Mountain.)

	bmo1616:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 19:15 GMT		2 points
	@codejlandt, I'd keep the Old Man of the Mountain for NH, even thought it collapsed, it's still on the NH state quarter as well as all NH license plates and highway route symbols. And @jefrunner, a Connecticut landmark is tough to think of, although I think maybe ESPN headquarters would be better than Mohegan Sun haha.

	For Maine, thats Acadia National Park, not Arcadia.

	Ouch. Sucks to be Alabama.

	THEJMAN, You're a Chicagoan and you've never heard of Cloud Gate aka The Bean? Please.

	The Statue of Liberty is actually in New Jersey. The state border runs down the Hudson and Liberty Island is on the New Jersey side. You might consider the Empire State Building or Niagara Falls (although part of it is technically in Canada?).

	^^^^ common misconception

	its such a shame that its a glass house for connecticut.

	state capital bldg = no other recognizable landmark.

	I had no idea "Geezer Rock" from that one episode of The Simpsons was based on a real place (#50). I learn something new everyday.

	kbowe:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 21:28 GMT		2 points
	Great quiz. Much harder than I expected, I did well on the first row, then struggled for much of the rest of it. Nominated.

	NoThoughtControl:	Aug 5th, 2011 at 21:50 GMT		3 points
	While the RenCen in Detroit is a great landmark and the headquarters of GM, (something Michigan is quite known for), I think the Mackinac Bridge would be a better one for Michigan.

	jackmcc:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 04:43 GMT		1 point
	For Vermont, Mount Mansfield or Camel's Hump have pretty unique profiles, might be better than another more-or-less generic capitol building. Camel's Hump is on the state quarter...

	The Capitol would've been so much better for Connecticut, its one of the most distinctive and beautiful in the Union. I live there and I've never even heard of the Glass House, I couldn't get my own state on that while getting tons of others. Hell, using the Russian dome in Hartford would be better than the Glass House, or even the Navy monument in Groton. The most obvious landmark I think should be Yale in New Haven. No offense to the Glass House, but CT really deserved better representation.

	eduke:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 07:48 GMT		2 points
	Love that you used the Boll Weevil monument for Alabama! Maybe the Biloxi lighthouse would be better for Mississippi, since our capitol building doesn't really stand out. Plus, the lighthouse is what's on our license plates.

	Did anyone else spend half the quiz typing in city names instead of state names? Sporcle has taught us too well.

	Thorncrown Chapel is pretty obscure for Arkansas. Might try the Clinton Library in Little Rock. Thorncrown is beautiful, though.

	neilmod:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 15:31 GMT		4 points
	Agree with the others on CT. I grew up there and have never heard of the glass house. I agree that it's hard to come up with a well-known CT landmark. Maybe the Mark Twain house? Probably not that well known, but very distinctive looking.

	why not the belle of louisville?

	Being from Maine, I'd say West Quoddy Head Light would be better for this. Acadia isn't really much of a "landmark".

	bobc:	May 7th, 2013 at 13:54 GMT		2 points
	Not being from Maine, I'd say that Acadia was easier to recognize that a lighthouse that could probably be in any number of states, unless it also shows the rocky coast well. As for CT, I suppose you residents might know your own capitol, but I wouldn't want to see yet another capitol or statehouse.

	so hard to see the tiny pictures. is there anyway you can click on them to enlarge them?

	BiloxiSean:	May 7th, 2013 at 20:39 GMT		1 point
	For Mississippi, I would consider the Biloxi Light House (obviously), or the sign in Clarksdale denoting the famous 'Crossroads' of blue music fame. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ClarksdaleMS_Crossroads.jpg

	wakethesun:	May 8th, 2013 at 02:33 GMT		1 point
	For Delaware, I'd suggest the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk. It's what most tourists come here for. I drive by the capitol building almost every day and even I didn't recognize it right away, it isn't very distinctive.

	MattAtkins:	May 8th, 2013 at 13:49 GMT		1 point
	As a Connecticut resident, any Frank Lloyd Wright house is a land mark, but the state capitol, the civil war arch (hartford), new london ledge light house, frank pepe's(new haven), mystic seaport, travlers tower (hartford), Harkness clock tower(the yale tower), and the old saybrook light house would all be better choices.

	@jonesjeffum & quizzle, The Statue of Liberty is part of New York, but as a enclave within the borders of New Jersey
