So only the people from Ohio have heard of the three largest cities in that state? All of which are large enough to have professional sports franchises?

lol you don't have to take it that seriously, of course being from that state and growing up there would allow them to have a greater innate knowledge of the area than someone who wasn't from there.

Being from the 99.99% of the Earth that isn't Ohio helps in being a smartass apparently.

It's pretty sad how many people missed Colorado Springs. It has the state's name directly in its own name. It is home to the one and only United States Air Force Academy.

It is also the second biggest metro area in Colorado behind Denver and the second biggest city proper in Colorado behind Aurora, among the 50 biggest cities in the USA. But mostly because it has the Air Force Academy it's a travesty so many people didn't get it. As well as it being home to the US Olympic Training Center as well. So many reasons to know of this city...

Why should people (even if we just say Americans) who aren't in the military and don't have military family or ambitions know where the Air Force Academy is?

Because such towns have a large population of military personnel, so you know they are based nearby. I lived near the Kitsap Naval Base up in WA for years and it's basically a town for the military haha. We also love to know all the military branches are generally where all their academies are.

As a non American, I quite like these quizzes. I do horribly badly at them, but it's interesting to see how many American cities I can get.
