	good quiz - probably too much time though. Less time would put a little more pressure on you to not guess all over the board and some are obvious.

	Waaaay too much time.

	Most of these can be guessed from the biggest city alone.

	As someone from outside of the US, I thought it was a really nice quiz. But yeah, probably a bit too much time.

	yeah, too much time. and too easy.

	Kaleb:	Oct 28th, 2009 at 17:34 GMT		1 point
	Yeah, I'd say cut the time by about 5 or 6 minutes

	It's spelled "Albuquerque" not "Alburquerque"

	Reminds me of one of the quizzes on Groucho Marx's "You Bet Your Life" where he'd name three cities (not necessarily the most populous) and the contestant would have to guess the state. I like an occasional easy quiz, but I agree this one has way too much time. I had almost six minutes left and it would have been more if I hadn't mistyped a couple (man, we have some long named states!).

	I agree with everybody else, this is too easy and you provided too much time. I think if you used different cities (maybe the 4th - 6th in population) it would be a much more fun quiz.

	I have to agree with Grawk, as someone outside the US, it provided a nice little challenge.

	Paradise isn't in the top 3 of Nevada. Henderson is the city that should be in that spot.

	If you can't get every state on this quiz, you probably shouldn't be browsing Sporcle user created geography.

	I think 4 minutes would make it more interesting

	Good idea for a blitz, but at present too much time. I got a perfect score, but only after embarrassing myself with several pathetic attempts at typing/spelling my home state, Massachusetts :)
