*Introductory theme tune*

Happy almost Christmas!

(That's the closest we have to something related - Rudolph's red nose...a white, dead Rudolph.) Round #1 can be my Christmas present to our American players.

Rules of the quiz:
- One answer per person (per round)
- Always give the answer you think the fewest amount of people would know
- If two people give the same answer in a short space of time, the first person's answer will be accepted (but the second can answer again)
- When applicable, a player may pick the same subject as another contestant and provide a different answer if they believe the other to be incorrect
- If you play the first round, please check back in case you make it through to Round #2
- Resist cheating (i.e. searching online for answers)

And of course, respect your fellow contestants and have fun!

Round #1 will be posted shortly and will remain open until Monday (or, when applicable, until each answer is taken) to give everyone a chance of replying.

* offtopic :
The records of previous winners and pointless answers can be found here.

ROUND #1

Our first category today is...

THE USA

I gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

LARGEST US CITIES IN EACH STATE

...as they could. I'm looking for the name of the largest city in any of the 50 US states, please – largest in terms of population, according to the 2010 US census. As always, the more obscure, the better. Good luck!

Captain_Keeta | 13-12-2014 18:55

!

We just did this in history class yesterday for no reason!

I'll go with Boise, Idaho.

PinkFloyd | 13-12-2014 18:56

Honolulu, Hawaii

Joeyy | 13-12-2014 18:56

Cool.

There are several pointless answers available.

CaptainStabbin | 13-12-2014 19:01

Providence RI

Joeyy | 13-12-2014 19:03

Going for your own state? Lazy.

CaptainStabbin | 13-12-2014 19:08

Yep, it's the state most people don't think it's a state.

zjenn4 | 13-12-2014 19:15

Let's all thank Supernatural and go with Sioux Falls, South Dakota and cross our fingers, because other than the state's capital, I don't know any other cities in SD (that I am aware of).

Joeyy | 13-12-2014 19:16

It's true it's often forgotten by the Brits, at least on the show anyway.

I never forget Rhode Island because it's Cheryl's state in 'Miss Congeniality'.

CaptainStabbin | 13-12-2014 19:17

You're a Supernatural fan Jen?

Joeyy | 13-12-2014 19:17

I was like that, too. I know capitals, but the question for me was whether the capitals were the largest cities.

zjenn4 | 13-12-2014 19:22

Oh yes, I love Supernatural!

indiechick_ | 13-12-2014 19:39

Baltimore, Maryland

Thanks The Wire

Billings, Montana

PracticePractic | 13-12-2014 20:30

New Orleans, Louisiana

Cheater138 | 13-12-2014 21:47

Milwaukee, Wisconsin because cheese and Packers.

Also, I was looking at some buzzfeed the other day that had maps of the US that people from the UK filled out. The Wisconsin area seemed to be a mystery to most.

Joeyy | 13-12-2014 22:05

Haha, yeah, I don't think we know much about it. I mentioned the cheese hats once to my parents and they thought I was making it up, as if I just hallucinate cheese-related facts.

Cheater138 | 13-12-2014 22:25

Nope, Cheeseheads are real.

CarlJ | 14-12-2014 14:52

Manchester New Hampshire.

Joeyy | 14-12-2014 14:59

They better be, those hats make me ridiculously happy.

Captain_Keeta | 14-12-2014 15:00

There's your Christmas present.

Joeyy | 14-12-2014 15:05

I'd never take it off. It would become a very smelly cheese (hat) indeed.

Captain_Keeta | 14-12-2014 15:06

And there's your new profile picture.

JDolla | 14-12-2014 16:24

Topeka, Kansas

Juliet86 | 14-12-2014 19:56

Seattle, Washington.

Probably not a great one, but oh well.
