here's a nice little game - guess the cities by what Interstates pass through them or into them.  see how fast it takes you.

[Darkchylde]

I was done with 6:37 to spare.

[Revive 755]

I could get more time remaining than 7:02 if I could spell decently without spellcheck

While fun, the game takes too many liberties or is completely wrong with some cities.

[xonhulu]

I had 7:09 to spare.  The real limit on performance is how well you can type quickly, not knowing the cities.  I'm sure every roadgeek worth his/her salt has no trouble identifying the towns.  And Revive 755 is right: it does take some liberties with the "passing through" part, like I-80 in Chicago.

[jdb1234]

I did it with about 6 minutes to spare, the hardest part for me was trying to spell Albuquerque.

[Greybear]

I did it with 7 minutes to spare. Like jdb, my hardest one to spell was Albuquerque.

[Alps]

7:26 (but i can type faster than most)

[DanTheMan414]

25/25 with 8:11 to spare. 

[PAHighways]

25/25 with 8:17 remaining

[kurumi]

25/25, 8:26

[agentsteel53]

8.58

would've beaten 9 had I realized that, apparently, I-59 goes to New Orleans these days.

(and I-95, to Boston.  Hah!)

[Chris]

8:16 to spare Great game.

[golden eagle]

I had 6:45 to spare. I struggled a bit to figure out where I-91 and I-95 intersected.

[Scott5114]

Some more...

California Counties
Oklahoma Counties
Texas Counties
Most repeated county names

[WISFreeways]

I got it with 7:10 to spare. Had to copy Albuquerque from here because it seemed too hard

Since when did I-29 go into Omaha?

[Chris]

I think you need to consider the urban area, not precisely the city proper.

Anyway, what's so hard about Albuquerque? I always think like: "Albu - quer-que". Quite easy.

I always start out "Albe"... the ambiguous schwa is the toughest spelling to intuitively guess at in the English language.  It cost me a shot at going to the national spelling bee in eighth grade!

I-70 hasn't entered Pittsburgh since the early 60s, and I-76 and I-79 haven't since the early 70s.

There was also another Sporcle game about recognizing American cities by their suburbs

I got them all in 1:14 minutes. 

[agentsteel53]

3.47 left.  took a total guess on Cleveland.

I gave up on San Fransico at 1:25  , I must have mispelled  San Fransico cuz I tried it 3 times also tried  Oakland, SanJose and Sacremento  , but I got the other 25 pretty queek 

[Sykotyk]

7:49 left. Would've done better, but got flubbed on New Haven (91-95). Couldn't think of which city in CT they met at, so I kept typing out names until I hit it.

Obviously, it's not exactly the municipality, but the general city reference people think of when going to/through a city.

Nice game. Did one for another topic before.
