Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This "twin city" is found in Minnesota, Kansas, North Carolina, and Alabama. In which state is this wet Minneapolis right across the river from St. Paul?

Answer: Minnesota

Minneapolis, Minnesota is in "the land of 10,000 lakes", henceforth making it very wet. Minneapolis, Minnesota sits right next to its "twin" St. Paul, and is well-known for the Mall of America and the Mississippi River.

2. This next duplicate city is Arlington. The Arlington in which state houses the Texas Rangers baseball stadium and Six Flags over ______?

Answer: Texas

Arlington is found in over twenty different states, occurring twice in Virginia. Bet that gets confusing! Arlington, Texas is located in Tarrant County.

3. This city has duplicates in many different states, and even has a state that shares its name. It also happens to be the name of the U.S. capital. What city is it?

Answer: Washington

The U.S. capital is Washington, D.C., named after the first president of the US, George Washington. There are towns named Washington in several states, but none in the state of Washington.

Answer: Oxford

The USA's two largest Oxfords are in Alabama and Ohio, both recorded in the 2010 national census with 21,000 people. Oxford University is a very famous university, where winners of the Rhodes Scholarship get to study. The Oxford shoe is a men's dress shoe.

5. Gun fanatics will like this one! This duplicate city is named after the manufacturer of a legendary rifle, and is found in states including Idaho, Nevada, and Oklahoma. What city is it?

Answer: Winchester

Winchester rifles are known as "The Gun that Won the West", because of their predominant role in the hands of western settlers. It is also the name of several towns that want to sound tough. I think it would be funny to come across a town named Bazooka.

Answer: Athens

Athens is found in the U.S. states of Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio and Texas. Not only did the Greeks host the 2004 Olympics, but they also hosted them in 1896.

Answer: Nebraska

Most places named Lincoln were named after either Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, or Benjamin Lincoln, a Continental Major General in the American Revolutionary War. Besides having many cities named Lincoln, it is also one of the most common U.S. county/parish names.

Answer: Portland

Portland, Oregon is the largest by far with 587,000 people according to the 2012 census estimate. Portland, Maine, however, is not one to be forgotten, with a 2012 population of 66,000. Portlands are also found in Texas, Tennessee, and Indiana.

9. Cleveland is found in several states. Which state, however, is the home to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame?

Answer: Ohio

Cleveland, Ohio had just under 400,000 people in the 2010 census, a lot less than most people would guess. Cleveland, Oklahoma is the hometown of 1952 Heisman Trophy winner Billy Vessels. Cleveland, North Dakota is located in Stutsman County.

10. This final duplicate, Greenville, is one of the most numerous duplicates of them all. Which Greenville houses East Carolina University?

Answer: North Carolina

There are at least 49 Greenvilles in the U.S (New York having three of them!). The only states without a city named Greenville in the 2010 Census were Hawaii, South Dakota, and Washington.
