This is a better clue than the skyline, which is kind of generic in my opinion. Lots of cities in the U.S. have a few skyscrapers. Only one has a whale shark.
Nah, it's a pretty bad clue tbh. It's way too generic of a picture and who the heck knows that Atlanta has a whale shark and connects that in this particular quiz? Skyline would have been better, something to do with Coca Cola, etc.
I got to the 4th question and put in "San " and completely blanked on what the rest of the city name was. It's San something. San... Clemente? San... Gabriel? San...s Serif? Just wouldn't come today.
I was actually referring to the one down and to the right of Detroit (as jm says, the Renaissance Center is pretty recognizable). I just thought it was funny that I got to that one and thought, "I'm going to try guessing cities without distinctive landmarks," and it turned out to be the first one I tried.
I mean, it is a cowboy with a texas flag patterned shirt. Since Houston, Austin, and San Antonio were already used in previous quizzes in the series, and El Paso wasn't accepted, there was really only one viable option unless they wanted to crack into smaller, sub-400k cities.
It's like those thoroughly ridiculous "super moon" pictures, when the moon appears about 1.07 times wider in diameter than normal, so everyone posts pictures of a telephoto moon 12 times the size of a barn in the "foreground".
The clue for Atlanta is kind of ridiculous. It's a generic, close-up picture of an aquarium that could be anywhere. There are TONS of huge aquariums in the US. Even if it's the biggest aquarium or something, why is that the pic anyone would choose for Atlanta??
Man, I got stuck on Salt Lake City. I was going, "What city is filled with so many religious nuts that it needs a giant 'screw you' cathedral?" Yeah, it makes sense now.
NAILED IT.
