Nice quiz. You'll want to cut down on the time, I finished with 5:18 left and on most of these there are 4 minutes to start with. Also, in the orange category, you can see the last two before you're supposed to be able to. Also, you might want to cut down on the type-ins a bit, several times I typed for not as long as I should have, e.g.: "Arch" working for "Arches". Otherwise, it was pretty good

Thanks! I've fixed the broken cells for the orange group. The typeins I used for US national parks are native to Jetpunk so I could customize them, but I see no real reason that I would know better than the quizmaster.

I like the quiz, but I'm still having a problem with the orange group. The next to last clue showed up blank (though it showed after I had finished).

What about George Rogers Clark in Indiana, for national parks that start with a letter after F.

That is a National Park site in that it's managed by the National Park Service, but it's not one of the capital-N capital-P National Parks.

Remember, it's only a national park if its not a national seashore or national forest or national historic park or national wildlife refuge or national monument or national grassland or national recreation area or national lakeshore or national marine sanctuary or national conservation area or national wild and scenic river or a national park. If not those THEN it's a national park.

So it's only a national park if it's not a national park? Interesting
