	This is a geography version of a previous quiz I did, found right here: http://www.sporcle.com/games/smreidy113/answer_early_and_get_more_points Here's something I said in the previous quiz that should pretty much explain the rules. I'm trying something new with this quiz that I haven't been able to do until the wrong answers feature was added. In this quiz, there are only 8 answers, and there are 5 clues (going from hardest to easiest) for each answer. You will be presented with one clue at a time, and you can guess an answer after each clue. If you get it right, all other clues you didn't have to use will be counted (for example, if you answer on the first clue, you get 5 points; if you answer in the 4th clue, you get 2), and you will go to the next category. If you get it wrong, you will be presented with an easier clue until there are no clues left. The minimum score is 8 and the maximum is 48. TYPE 'skip' TO SKIP A CLUE. Good luck, and have fun! As always, leave a comment telling me what you think, and let me know about any bugs with this quiz.

	Worked well for me. Needed less than half the time, though.

	Tahnan:	Jul 27th, 2011 at 09:57 GMT	8 points
	Definitely worked for me. I didn't need all the time, but then again, I don't think time pressure is what this quiz is about, so that's OK.

	gowhere:	Jul 27th, 2011 at 12:51 GMT	3 points
	It isn't working for me. I tried to skip3 but it wouldn't take it - I also tried to answer, but still no acceptance.

	askf:	Jul 27th, 2011 at 13:03 GMT	2 points
	Had the same problem as gowhere...skip [#] wouldn't work, but at times I was able to move ahead by deliberately entering a wrong answer...other times it wouldn't even take a wrong answer but would then take a different wrong answer. Good quiz, though, apart from the glitches.

	professor_beavis:	Jul 27th, 2011 at 14:10 GMT	2 points
	Wasn't working for me at all times either. And my guess for Mogadishu for African capital opened hints from category capitals from Asia.

	smreidy113:	Jul 27th, 2011 at 14:48 GMT	3 points
	Thanks for the feedback, all. I tried searching for all of the bugs mentioned but it seemed to work fine for me. I'd most likely attribute it to lag. Although this quiz has only 48 answers, almost 150 answer spaces are taken, each one completely filled. That's bound to create some lag somewhere, and I'm afraid there's not much I can do about that.

	healy34:	Jul 27th, 2011 at 17:48 GMT	4 points
	Nice premise for a quiz, good mix of knowledge and I like that you took the time to add the ability to skip a question. Good work!

	sharpdale:	Jul 27th, 2011 at 18:53 GMT	5 points
	Cheers! Highly original approach! Would like to see more like it! (And that's in spite of my mediocre score)

	Patency:	Jul 27th, 2011 at 18:53 GMT	1 point
	I missed one in each of the four categories. >>

	singin185:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 13:06 GMT	3 points
	Didn't seem like there were enough wrong answers. After the 2nd clue for the US State, I was guessing several states that border the Eastern/Central time zone. Nothing happened- no wrong answer, nothing. Does that have to do with the lag?

	lucyzoe:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 19:40 GMT	4 points
	I went to guess Ukraine for the European countries one and it gave me a wrong answer for UK.

	MisterF:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 17:39 GMT	4 points
	lucyzoe: Well, Ukraine would have been wrong anyways...

	PublicEnemy:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 02:40 GMT	2 points
	You should be more clear about the question "The capital of this province is the same name". Could be phrased differently like "Which capital city bears the same name as its province" or something like that.

	koopa08:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 14:08 GMT	2 points
	Sooo, is 33 points good or bad?

	707penguin:	Aug 3rd, 2011 at 00:15 GMT	1 point
	I attribute getting 37 out of 48 mostly to luck. I knew that my own state, Illinois, was 18th, so Indiana was a logical choice for 19th. Annapolis and Quebec were just guesses that I got right on the first try.

	NathanW197:	Aug 12th, 2011 at 04:07 GMT	0 points
	Some of these clues really don't help at all. I know that you're giving more vague clues initially, and the more obvious clues later, but to say, "This other tower is also in this city" doesn't help at all if we already didn't know which city had the first tower.

	I came here after reading comments on your first published quiz recommending this for those that think the other is too US-centric. And the very first question is about US states! This isn't a complaint, anything is fair game in geography, but I think others will pull you up on this.

	smreidy113:	Aug 12th, 2011 at 14:22 GMT	2 points
	@Greg_: Hopefully they'll realize that only 2 out of 8 questions have to do with the US.

	LacsiraxAriscal:	Apr 8th, 2012 at 21:55 GMT	1 point
	Problem: you can just type "skip4 (or 9 or 14 etc.) to get the last clue... thus rendering the scoring a little pointless... :P
