quizmaster is a million people making a bunch of quizzes. also, why does pixabay suck so much? if I search up something like dirt, I'll get pictures of concrete. Also, if you log in to your account twice from different devices, couldn't more people make more quizzes?

I get such a mental block on us state capitals, I could probably name more major chinese cities which is ridiculous.

Okay, you all got me curious! Closest I could find was Heihe, clocking in at 8,800 km. The closest "major" city is probably Harbin at around 9,200 km. Shanghai comes in at about 10,600 km, Hangzhou at 10,800, and Xiamen at 11,400. Turns out because of curvature the shortest path from basically anywhere in China is going to be over the North Pacific to Tijuana. Thanks for the fun little excursion y'all :)

Whoops. I did a capitals quiz once and wondered why the hell the quiz wasn't accepting Seattle. Happens to the best of us.

Oklahoma is not the name of the capital. also, maybe you could be polite and request instead of demand.

Carson and Salt Lake are not the names of the capitals either, yet they are accepted... (But you're right. A "please" would have been nice.)

Almost didn't get OKC. I typed out Oklahoma and assumed it was like country capitals, where it would automatically take if it was correct.
