About This Quiz

Are you a geography aficionado? Do you pride yourself on knowing exactly what cities are located in what states? If this describes you, then you've lucked onto a quiz that is bound to appeal to your geographical knowledge. Let's get started right now to find out if you really know as much as you think you do.

It's a tale of three cities, well...not exactly. This isn't a play on the classic Charles Dickens novel, but this quiz might be more fun. We had a great time putting this quiz together, and we learned a thing or two about cities. For instance, did you know that there are almost 30 cities named Cleveland in the United States? There are also three Clevelands in the United Kingdom and two in Australia, but we're not going to get that complicated today. We'll stick to the United States with this quiz. So, if we gave you the cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus, you'd answer Ohio; but if we gave you the cities of Cleveland, Nashville, and Memphis, your answer would be Tennessee. See how complicated a quiz like this can get?

If you think you're up to the challenge and you're ready to get started, click to begin, and let's roll.
