	Ugh, this was super hard.

	LinuxLinus:	Nov 21st, 2011 at 14:02 GMT	5 points
	Should also say, really fun.

	Ulkomaalainen:	Nov 21st, 2011 at 16:46 GMT	-1 points
	Nice quiz, 5 globes (the right one and the left one are furthest from the centre). "Philadelphia" does not trigger a wrong response on NHL Atlantic.

	Skogs:	Nov 21st, 2011 at 18:08 GMT	2 points
	This was a fun quiz but I think you need to be more clear about what you mean by midpoint. For instance, I was using the website you linked to and the centre of gravity moves depending on whether you add the same city twice or not. So, for instance the NHL Atlantic midpoint will move depending on whether you include New York twice or not. I think either way to do it is fine, but that you should mention which method you are following. I hope I am clear

	@Skogs: For the NHL Atlantic, for example, I used Newark, NJ; Uniondale, NY; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA; and Pittsburgh, PA. @Ulkomaalainen: Good catch. I fixed it.

	Great quiz - and thanks for the link to geomidpoint.com, which is a very addictive little toy.

	FelixtheBear:	Nov 22nd, 2011 at 02:46 GMT	2 points
	Funny that the team farthest from the midpoint in the NBA Northwest is the only team actually in the Pacific Northwest. Well, maybe not so funny for Sonics fans.

	pandasteak:	Nov 22nd, 2011 at 18:54 GMT	1 point
	So does that mean the Baltimore Orioles are, in fact, the CLOSEST team to the geographic center? That could be another interesting quiz.

	mothball:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 14:42 GMT	2 points
	As someone who doesn't follow hockey, I was highly amused that the Winnipeg Jets were in the NHL Southeast, but then mildly disappointed when it turned out there was a perfectly logical explanation. Oh well.

	Did the Florida Marlins change their name to Miami Marlins?
