5K: I've heard the other 3 interviewed w/ no mention of Roseanne, so it should be Metcalfe. ATA to be sure.

7K: I think KC, KS is much smaller than KC, MO, so order reversed here. Portland, ME bigger than Portland, OR, or used to be, but 4X? Think the Charlestons same size. Have been through both Columbuses. Columbus, OH way bigger. Go w/ it.

20K: rule out mustaches. But only 'cause want to. Like earlobes. +1

I think that for the three wrong answers the first city is actually the smaller of the two.

It took me a few moments to realize that "gauge" referred to earrings - especially those designed to enlarge the hole in the lobe.
