Each answer corresponds to a quiz on JetPunk where it's guessed correctly a certain percentage of the time, from 100% to 1%.

Great quiz! I definitely think the Aleutian Islands are sort of hard to see even after they are highlighted. Is there any way you could make that more easily visible?

Very minor nitpick: The accent circle for DC appears to completely overlay whatever that city in Maryland is, which makes it impossible to see what that answer is after the end of the quiz.

Argh! Now that the quiz is over, I can see all of the things that I guessed correctly but didn't get credit for.

"Royale" was indeed "Isle Royale".

"Puget" was indeed "Puget Sound".

Love it, love it, love it & nominated it! This quiz is right in my wheelhouse with obscure US geography. My first job was in Lexington Park, Maryland. Only missed 12, but should have gotten Mojave, McAllen, Duvall County and Rock Hill.

67 for this Kiwi, but then again I have been to all 50 states :) My most proud answer is Loving County, which I drove around and through to see what the least populous county in the US looks like (answer: very empty). With less than a hundred people I just saw no houses anywhere except in the county seat, Mentone, which also seemed all-but-abandoned.

Great quiz! i just found it incredibly difficult to understand what was being asked for many of the highlights (counties, lakes, national parks, etc.) but i suppose that's my fault for not knowing them well enough XD

I think non-Americans will not get any of the counties, so that's why they have so low scores on this quiz.

Aren't Jacksonville and Duval County coextensive?

1. Not quite: The separate municipalities of Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, and Baldwin, are also found within Duval County.

2. In either case, within the context of this quiz, cities are represented by circles. The fact that the hint appeared on the map as a polygon delineated by the county boundary, and not as a circle, disambiguates that it is the county that is being asked for, not the city.

1. Brooks Range has no apostrophe; it was named after someone named Brooks.

2. I sometimes had a hard time figuring out what you were aiming at, even when I was familiar with the general area.

Klamath Mountains is a fair question but I will say that for people who live here it's a lot more common to say "Siskiyou" or "Trinity Alps" or what-have-you--I've never heard someone refer to a place in the "Klamath Mountains." "Klamath Mountains" seems like a grouping or catch-all of convenience than an actual mountain range people refer to as such. It's certainly seems valid--though your blob doesn't seem to correspond to the Wikipedia page (you include miles and miles of California coast but none are part of the shape delineated there; and your region is rather further east, as well); or on other pages which refer to it.

It's supposed to get difficult, so like I said, certainly fair, but for such an edge case you could be more precise about the map.

Ouch, I typed "Washington DC" and didn't get it, so I started trying obscure DC suburbs.
