All Counties of the United States by Proximity
When you name a county (or equivalent) of a U.S. State, all counties within 100km will also be filled in.
Caution: the map is large in size, and with 3k+ answers, the page WILL BE SLOW
Distance here is the centre-centre distance using the latitude/longitude geographical centres provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. (This means for a big county, its borders may not get activated)

Another amazing quiz using this amazing template! I was puzzled that none of the Nevada or Arizona answers illuminated any neighbors, but then I read your instructions about your using centre-to-centre distances.

Yes, there was no reasonable way (without a lot more complex coding and modelling) to create a better proximity system. Since the Bureau releases these geographical centres, it’s all I really have to go on.

Could you please allow SFO county instead of San Francisco, so long to spell?

Only got 2,468 by proximity. I'm among the big 0% who couldn't type Prince of Wales-Hyder fast enough.

Tippecanoe hahahah! im sure there are more funny names but didnt read them all. As someone that is proud/happy to get even more than 5 STATES, getting 2013 is not bad. I mainly typed a few states, colors, 3 presidents, some english towns and names.

Funnily enoguh, almost the enitre right side of the map has turned green and hardly anything on the left side.
I like proximity quizes, but these are a bit too much to revise!!

Amazing, great, simply great. I must admit I was cheating by using an open revealed all the time since I am not from USA and I still managed 2999 on the 1st try. I hope that one day I can manage 2000 by myself. Thanks for the great quiz!

2000 was really low. I've now managed to break the 3000 point threshold, by seeing what counties are green. Time to set a 3100 threshold! Amazing Quiz!

Great idea to use proximity to make the quiz more accessible. Presidents and Native American tribes will get you pretty far. Fun to see the Percent of People with Each Score on the stats.

Great Quiz. Being from the UK, I only knew about 5 counties, but I got three points by naming them plus the presidents and major US cities!

Being a Finn the only ones I knew for sure were King (Seattle area, too much 50 shades), Orange (OC and whatnot) and Madison (Bridges of Madison County). Got 3 points too without always even being sure what was accepted as an answer.

I'm really surprised that 92% got Schuylkill County in Pennsylvania. Counties named after presidents, cities, etc are common guesses....but Schuylkill !!!! Schuylkill means a slow moving river. It come from the Lenape Indians who lived in my area of PA

Probably more the fact it's within the proximity of Columbia, Monroe, Wyoming as well as many english counties (Northampton and Berks for example). Remember this is by proximity not name every county!

Got 5 points for 2979. I think the rule is beat 80% of takers, so it'll fluctuate a little, but you're probably close!

Really enjoyable quiz. My strategy was to name the presidents, Native American tribes, saints, generals, main cities, and states in addition to the ones I actually knew. It got me 86% on my first try.

Finally finished it, with only a few seconds to spare. I had to slow down occasionally since when I typed in certain answers, it accepted them without the last letter, so when I automatically typed that last letter, it was taken to start the next answer, which wasn't right.

This was funny. I'm not american but I got over 2600 by just typing states, main cities, geographical features, presidents, colours, native tribes and common last names. Got most of the east coast that way!
