It’s a great quiz, but it would be better if the yellow box answer applied to all states with a city of the same name. Examples: Springfield Illinois, Pasadena MD, Aberdeen MD, Columbia Maryland, Missouri and South Carolina, Bloomington Indiana, etc.

thanks for the idea, I'll consider it. although I believe for all of these (could be mistaken though) the answer cities are the largest cities with the given names unless that is the example city - for instance, Springfield MO is larger than Springfield IL, OH, OR, etc.
