I didn't see it either, but I wasn't expecting it to be on a North America quiz. I understand why it was included, but just wasn't expecting it.

Well, when you consider that people don't think about territories immediately, let alone know the capital/cities in each, 3% is a fair number.

Ahh, I didn't know that territories in this quiz were fair game, so I missed Willemstead.

The same way I make the countries, just by making straight lines instead

And I used citypopulation.de for the cities

1.7 % of test takers score 100% - I don't know how many people are in this class, but it makes me feel good about myself - if only I were in the top 1.7% of income earners.
