Great Quiz!

Most obese state is spelled wrong: Mississipi should be Mississippi

Most popular first name: Smith? Maybe Last name?

I think "Cascade" or "Cascades" should also be accepted for the coastal mountain range question.

I think just "football" should be accepted along with "american football" (hardly anyone in the US says "american football")

"Puget" was accepted for "Puget Sound" but you had to type out "Potomac River"

Everything turns out to be correct :( which shows how bad I still am at research. I've corrected all of them. How embarrassing!

Yeah I agree with the above. Lots of good stuff about this quiz but way too many specific typing answers that should have more leeway. I don't see anything online to support Honolulu being the 10th largest city in the US either. Some more research and organization would make this quiz great.

Honolulu - It was not tenth, it was eleventh, so I cut it and add something else. Specific typing answers - I beg to differ. I would honestly expect the national anthem, constitution, DoI etc to be more well-known.

I was off by one word for the constitution! but I nailed the declaration of independence (we had to memorize part of it in school one year many moons ago)
