	Much harder than I expected. Good quiz.

	Please explain to me Houston's answer. Pasadena is in Houston's metro area and is much bigger than Sugar Land based on the 2010 Census.

	tsprinkle:	May 26th, 2011 at 02:08 GMT	3 points
	As I said, answers are as defined by the US Office of Budget and Management, which gives the name Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, TX, to that metropolitan area. But you are right; Pasadena is the 2nd largest city in that 10-county region of Texas.

	I get what you're asking for, but the quiz question is simply incorrect for those cases. If the name of the area is what you're interested in, then you can't include Pittsburgh, Memphis etc. as they have no second city in their name. Also, I think it's better to use the term metro area (or Metropolitan Statistical Area, if you will) as this term is probably known by more Sporclers than Core Based Statistical Area. Oh, and Overland Park wasn't accepted I think.

	It's not often I get to enter my hometown of Wyoming, MI on a quiz.

	Arden-Arcade is not a city, its just an area of Sacramento

	tsprinkle:	Jun 21st, 2011 at 15:53 GMT	1 point
	You're right; it's a CDP (Census designated place). Be that as it may, the US Census Bureau defines Arden-Arcade as a principal city of the Sacramento MSA, and since it's the second largest entity in the MSA... it's on the list.
