| @KansasJayhawk and hawksdd: this quiz has *not* been done exactly before. Yes, the quiz you cite is very similar. They both cover the top three cities in each of the 50 US states by population, but the answers are different. This quiz, in my opinion, has a better visual design (colors and the fact that it includes rank numbers as hints). As an example of different answers (this quiz/other quiz): Maryland (Baltimore, Frederick, Rockville)/(Baltimore, Columbia, Silver Spring), Nevada (Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas)/(Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno), Vermont (Burlington, Essex, Rutland)/(Burlington, Essex, Colchester), New Mexico (Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho)/(Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Santa Fe). This quiz should definitely cite a source. Just because something has been done first doesn't make it the better quiz. If it's impossible to improve on something that's already been done before it will prevent the quality of quizzes from becoming better. The older quiz does say its source is the 2000 US Census, but it takes you to the home page for the US Census not the actual data. So which quiz is correct? Hard to say because neither one links to its data source directly. Two pet peeves of mine: people who are quick to jump on a new quiz as a duplicate, and people provide source links that go to some general site and not the relevant data. If you can't provide a link to the relevant data at least describe how one can get to it. Otherwise how do we know if it's accurate? We don't even know what's being looked at: population within city limits or metropolitan areas. |
