I believe the questions on this site are so heavily weighted toward the U.S. because so many of the questions are submitted by Americans. Why not submit some questions of your own about your own corner of the world to broaden the appeal of the site?

Leila Alberici, Please generate some questions focused on the UK. I'd love to see more. I might miss more answers, but I'd learn a lot of new stuff. Same to all Brits, Aussies and Kiwis and other nationalities. Please create questions from around the world for us.

Ms. Alberici, to continue on Mr. Laughlin.. To broaden our knowledge. In my opinion, it would be welcome.

Danny More

If I don't get it right. I learn something new...Great way to do it.

I really enjoy these quiz questions but wish they weren't so focussed on the US as living in the UK I don't know a lot about US history or geography.

Lucky guess for a Brit.

I’m not concerned that question generated are by and large U.S based or any other part of the globe for that matter. Even if I wrong guess them it all good trivia. Thanks you compilers I appreciate your efforts

Vermont might have low population, but we are a first in many things! Many times we have lead the nation to greatness! I just love my state, even tho I am a flat lander! I married a true Vermont and my two children are Vermont born!

Jon Woolery, Because people voted for him.

Lynne Zeman

Surprised that Montepelier was least populated. I know that Montana has low population and assumed that even though Vermont is a small state it would be more populated. You know what is said about assumptions.......l..

How else would Socialist Sanders get elected to anything?

Phyllis Ollar Goodwin

Well I was wrong, but like the majority, I guessed the 2nd least populous in South Dakota.

I have been there and walked around it is a quaint Vermont town that just happens to be the Capitol . There is no fast food in this town either.. Another interesting fact .
