    Only saw this quiz now but suprised illinois wasn't top for the states beginning with I.

    What happened to Q6.. Nobody get any answers right second time round? Would have thought Boston or Sacramento to be the top answers there.. Or Albany.. they were the three that jumped into me head when I read the question.

    Lots of PC problems this week led to a corrupt Excel sheet that messed up my answer sheet. This means that I had to drop 1 question and a few people got some bonus points when they shouldn't have :)

    Question 6 was badly phrased and even if the Excel file wasn't messed up I would have dropped it anyhow.

    The question was "Name a state capitol" not "Name a state capital", the former referring to a building and the latter to a city. I didn't pay enough attention to the wording so it's my fault if people didn't understand. People answered LA and NY City which would have been incorrect if I was asking for a city and 9 people answered "Washington DC" was was correct if I was asking for the building. It just got very messy to score properly.

    I received :

    Washington 10
    Boston 8
    Austin 3
    New York 2
    Albany 2
    Springfield
    LA

    It made no difference to the overall winner by removing the question (but did change things below)
    Some of the questions was 'easy' so it meant that you really had to give the obvious answer to be in with a chance of winning.
    If you didn't say "The Simpsons", "The Rockies" or "Mississippi" then you had little chance of winning. A coulpe of wrong answers (arnold schwarzenegger is a governor, not a senator) and 2 posters who gave the exact same 10 answers within 60 seconds of each other added a little spice for me :)
