	I'm experimenting with the "combination lock" format I've tried in other quizzes. This is the first time it's gone to 4 columns. As requested, you can now enter the city names (in Largest-to-4th-Largest order) instead of the key numbers. This quiz proved to be a little tricky since in 2 different states, "Portland" is the name of the largest city, and both Rochester and Springfield are the 3rd largest cities in two states. To get around that I used the same code number for both cities, so if you're entering by code number you get the credit. As always, let me know what you think of it.

	Damn, Bellevue (thought WA) and Meridian (thought MS) tripped me up!

	montecarlo:	May 11th, 2011 at 14:46 GMT		6 points
	great idea, but too long, meaning i had to scroll up and down constantly. perhaps shorten the answers to simply the state name without combination code, then change the column split to 60/40 (or whatever is most efficient)... and that might allow for single line rows instead of double-line rows, which would eliminate the need to scroll?

	tomahaha:	May 11th, 2011 at 16:50 GMT		4 points
	I liked it a lot, problem was it was just too "confusing" with so much scrolling up and down and having just a bit too much to read. Again, I liked it and will give a good rating but it could have been better if it were a bit shorter? (Or maybe fewer states but adding a fifth column ...less scrolling?)

	metagloria:	May 11th, 2011 at 18:04 GMT		7 points
	I want to rate this a 4, but I don't want to screw up the 5 rating you have currently. The quiz is amazing; my only complaint is just the intractability of it. I may not be the geography buff some sporclers are, but I do consider myself pretty knowledgeable, and even with 10 minutes of preparation before starting the quiz, I only got 25 states. Eventually, you can start getting things by process of elimination, but 20 minutes doesn't seem like enough for that. Still - I love the quiz and the format. Great work!

	ambition:	May 11th, 2011 at 18:28 GMT		5 points
	This is a great quiz. My only problem was 20 minutes wasn't enough time, but obviously there's nothing you can do about it.

	tomahaha:	May 11th, 2011 at 20:12 GMT		4 points
	The last two posts echo my thoughts exactly. (even the part about the perfect rating, I gave it a 5 but would like to give a 4.5 because of the time/scrolling issues) a job very well done I agree.

	rockgolf:	May 11th, 2011 at 20:27 GMT		4 points
	@Everyone: Thanks for the feedback on the scrolling issues. I've tried a couple of things that should help. I've replaced all 204 State names with their postal abbreviations, and reduced the font size 1 point on the answers. The results are (at least on my display) that every answer now stays in one line, instead of automatically scrolling to 2 lines. I think that should vastly reduce the amount of scrolling needed. Unfortunately, I can't eliminate it. One other suggestion: On most browsers you can make the quiz "Full screen" by using the F11 key. That should get almost 40 lines on even the smallest screen. Repeat the F11 key to get out of fullscreen format.

	rockgolf:	May 11th, 2011 at 20:30 GMT		3 points
	(By the way, I can't reduce the display to just the State name, because then you'd just have to enter the State name to get the answers.)

	Iowa is abbreviated IA, not IO. Other than that, great quiz!

	coulraphobic123:	May 12th, 2011 at 01:19 GMT		3 points
	You should also use the official Census 2010 population counts. Brookings is now the 4th largest city in South Dakota instead of Watertown and I believe Eugene, OR is larger than Salem is now, too

	rockgolf:	May 12th, 2011 at 03:26 GMT		4 points
	@Chocolatl: Thanks. I've fixed that. @Coulraphobic: Unfortunately that would require recalculated and re-writing the entire puzzle, since I keep each column in alphabetical order.

	montecarlo:	May 12th, 2011 at 13:56 GMT		5 points
	@rockgolf: good point about not being able to eliminate the lock combo from answer line, didnt think about that since i wasnt typing in city names, but combo codes. quiz is much improved now @people who are running out of time: f11 like rockgolf said, and the only other advice i have is to start from the 4th column, see what 4th largest city you recognize, then move right-to-left. if you move left-to-right, you will hit a lot of dead ends and lose time.

	Not enough fun for the length of time required.
