I'm trying an idea out based on the new system. I think it's fairly obvious so somebody might beat me to it but I thought it's worth trying anyway. Answers can be countries, cities, states, oceans etc

	I didn't want to overload it with text like "Wednesday evening. An interesting woman with dark red hair was studying Trotskyite books and wanted to know the postal address of the Kremlin. Where should you fly to?" but if that's better then I can change them. It's just an idea and I'm more than happy for other people to steal and improve it! I know there are problems with clues but let me know how to improve!

	postpromastr:	Feb 27th, 2010 at 18:14 GMT		3 points
	I like it. May need to fix the airport answer. I typed 'Heathrow' and it gave Hartsfield to me.

	tstatts:	Feb 27th, 2010 at 18:24 GMT		4 points
	agree with postpro - the answer is hartsfield-jackson i believe, but when i typed it nothing happened...only got it when i typed in heathrow...also, pretty sure kansas is geographic center of USA, not south dakota

	The Pantheon is also a landmark of Ancient Rome. Great quiz, though.

	I've never heard the 'new sweden' moniker for that state and I was thrown since new sweden was in new jersey.

	You should take just "Atlanta" for the airport one, but I got it with Heathrow, anyway.

	I tried everything possible for the airport question before also typing in Heathrow. Same for the province question.

	Coliseum. What about this alternate spelling?

	kypzethdurron:	Feb 28th, 2010 at 03:36 GMT		4 points
	To answer some points! Should take some alternate answers, e.g. Pantheon and any sensible alternative spellings. I'll try to work out other alternative airport answers - obviously I didn't know each answer myself so just took the name that I found as its official name. I accepted Heathrow because I was trying to make it relatively easy (and curve looks pretty varied as far as I can tell so I'm glad) and it is the largest international airport. There are similar alternatives for a few of them. Every answer is reliable and double-checked though. Will fix problems! /// Finally, to the people who complained that there's no "next" - if you play the original Carmen game, you're in the same situation. Harsh but unfortunately the ENTIRE point! :P Thanks again for all the comments!

	kypzethdurron:	Feb 28th, 2010 at 03:37 GMT		3 points
	Oh and Kansas is the centre of mainland USA so you should probably think about Alaska and Hawaii. I added some things in the third column but it didn't work for some reason! Also, is the length of time ok? Did anybody struggle solely because of the time?

	kypzethdurron:	Feb 28th, 2010 at 03:53 GMT		3 points
	Sorted, hopefully. One question to anyone with the know-how... Is there anyway to only reveal the third column when answering a question? I can only reveal them all at the start or after the correct answering of each question..?

	y2jdilemma:	Feb 28th, 2010 at 11:23 GMT		2 points
	Im ok with accepting the entire airport name, HOWEVER, IATA City Code should also be accepted, which, in this case, would satisfy those wanting to just named the city.

	rockgolf:	Feb 28th, 2010 at 14:41 GMT		5 points
	A nice progress of increasingly difficult questions. But change the widths of the columns because those last comments roll off the page. Try 30%/20%/50% for Clue/Answer/Extra Info. You can set the widths on the Style page. And add some color. (Perhaps select a unique two- or three-color national flag, then as the last question ask which country uses the same colors as the quiz.) I think you found how to "Hide 3rd column until answered" on the Game Info page.

	rockgolf:	Feb 28th, 2010 at 14:56 GMT		3 points
	Ah! I see, the Extras appear when the game ends. That looks like a coding bug. I'll ask the admins to take a look, but it may not be a quick fix. In the meantime, keep something in that column but not info that might lead to the answer. (A score or encouragement, maybe?) then add the "Extra Info" to the beginning of the next clue.

	kypzethdurron:	Feb 28th, 2010 at 20:28 GMT		3 points
	Didn't know I could set the widths - thanks! Will take all suggestions on board and also play with colour :)

	kypzethdurron:	Feb 28th, 2010 at 20:33 GMT		5 points
	Colour styling suited to Carmen Sandiego (or at least that's the intention). And I hope nobody minds me commenting to try and improve my quizzes - I wouldn't reply to my own quizzes if they nominated but I figure that mine are more tests than frontier projects?

	south dakota seems too far north for middle us, even looking at a map... is this because alaska is included?

	TheBigE1980:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 21:43 GMT		4 points
	When you include Alaska and Hawaii, the geographic center of the United States is located just north of Belle Fourche, South Dakota.

	jjjoseph:	Mar 4th, 2010 at 14:27 GMT		3 points
	Please accept Atlanta or at least ATL for the airport question. Fun quiz.

	What's your source that states that Empuriabrava has "the most canals"? I've never heard this, or seen it anywhere, and it runs contrary to several places that jump to mind (without doing any research, Venice is a more famous example, and Cape Coral, Florida a more obvious example if one looks at a map). I'm not buying Empuriabrava, sorry.

	puckett86:	Mar 5th, 2010 at 21:55 GMT		1 point
	Now I have the "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?" song stuck in my head. Thanks a lot.

	kypzethdurron:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 09:25 GMT		3 points
	Hey jonnyr12. I have many sources for that - the reason that it's not well known is because it's not a famous place. Venice is the obvious one but Birmingham and New Orleans are well known to have had more (though New Orleans doesn't have as many now). There are a number of others and I spent a few hours on the internet trying to ensure that it's not a misconception and that there isn't some massive one somewhere but it really does seem the biggest. The reason that Empuriabrava has more is because we're including all of the little ones and though Cape Coral is bigger, you can clearly see on the satellite imagery that there are fewer canals. That said, it's as big as one or two of my alternate answers so I'll include it.

	There are a few ancient landmarks in Rome.

	segacs:	Aug 10th, 2010 at 02:27 GMT		0 points
	While the San Francisco earthquake was clearly the largest and most well-known in 1906, the phrasing of the question makes it seem like any earthquake that took place in 1906 would be an acceptable answer. Since there is seismic activity every day on all the major fault lines in the world, this could be nearly anywhere. You should reword that question. Also, the US questions are much more challenging than the basic ones whose answers are elsewhere in the world. Quiz clearly written by and for Americans.

	About channels: as with "city with most bridges" it is a difficult one (and there are always the same contenders), because what one survey calls a bridge may be two for the next source (as it steps on some small rock inbetween) or none to another, as it may be considered too small. Similar with canal "cul-de-sacs" - canal in their own right or part of the one they're forking off from. Also natural vs man made vs "man straightened natural" canals, so you'll probably always have contenders - like with metropolian areas, you may have noticed some inconsistency across Sporcle with them. Not-yet mentioned candidates would be Amsterdam, Hamburg and Stockholm. But with quizzes like these, you (as a quiz maker) have to go with one definition or the other and you (as a player) should just continue guessing if your first try followed a different definition.
