It would be better if we had 10 minutes. Because 8 minutes for 100 cities means we have 4.8 seconds for each city. That's not enough.

95/100. Trying to figure what big city in Nebraska I was missing. Dot needs to be moved over a state. Probably still wouldn't have guessed it. Missed two near Dallas, one in Los Angeles area and one in Virginia because I didn't see the dot.

You'd have to move the inhabitants over, too.

A decent amount of these "cities" are just suburbs of other cities.

Has anyone ever heard of Port St. Lucie?? I thought West Palm Beach etc. would have been bigger - I checked maps online and Port St Lucie doesn't even appear!

Never. Other quizzes have Florida cities that didn't make this one (Cape Coral, Pembroke Pines, Coral Springs, Miami Beach).

I found out about it from jetpunk. just like I did Peoria; AZ, half of the LA suburbs, half the Dallas suburbs, Newport News; VA, Aurora; CO, etc... and crazy enough I found out about West Valley City, UT from jetpunk too even though I live in Utah. I am only 18 and started these quizzes about 3 years ago.

One of these days, y'all will include San Juan. Or a caveat omitting it. Or have it automatically filled it. At the end of the day, it's an American city and should be included in some form.

It's getting a bit frustrating how each quiz about cities has significantly different data and when you type in a city which had a high population according to some other quizzes you've done in the past and find out it doesn't pop up in this quiz, you're wondering whether the reason it doesn't show up is becaue the data in this quiz is different or if you misspelled or something.
