You are a special talent, and as a newcomer here, I've gotten so much joy watching your videos! Can't wait to watch your channel grow.

I can't type fast enough to match this. I got about 600. Biggest one I missed was Fort Worth. I am astounded at all the CDPs in the Las Vegas area. They just keep building cities that "do not exist". Oh, and the link to the quiz is not here. I found it following the list of challenges.

This was all off the top of my head. I only know these because I've lived in the Valley my whole life. This guy even knows how to pronounce Tulare, and he's not even from California. I couldn't name a city in Illinois besides Chicago.

the only thing I could think of this entire time was whose line's "butte not butt montana..."

The game is a bit unfair - if you just type in the city name, it selects the most populous or prominent city in the country with that name, but type it again and it requires you to add the state abbreviation. You typed in Lake Forest near the end, and it didn't choose the one in California. I am a bit upset you forgot Pasadena :)

This dude knows more cities in my state than I do

my record after weeks of practice was ~960, I really wish I got to 1,000 but I got burnt out before successfully achieving that. Also I did it by each state so cities that appear in multiple states had to be type for every individual state. also no guessing.
