	All the Santas are in California huh? Maybe that's where Claus's summer home is.

	a lot harder than i expected. 5 orbs!

	Hey, if you lived at the North Pole wouldn't you want to vacation in California now and again? I understand that Blitzen is one heck of a surfer. Great quiz Onno!

	I still don't understand why Greenwich (which has a higher population than the bottom two for "Green" cities) is excluded for being a town instead of a city. I think that's a bit of semantics... the only difference is that they don't have a mayor.

	Rats, I typed in Collins over and over, but spaced out on the possibility that I had to type out Fort Collins (is there any good reason to have to do that, actually?), even though I included the prefixes with the Saints and Santas. And I must have either mistyped Green Bay or made the same error there too, because I didn't get that one either, and was surprised it wasn't there (but it was).

	But maybe that's just my Connecticut bias talking...

	I was hoping I'd see one of the oldest and prettiest cities in America on here, St. Augustine; but I guess it's a good thing that it isn't also one of the most populated, because that would be a lot of people for a small city!

	As for the Greenwich issue: when you download population data from the census bureau, all places have a code. All cities and equivalents are given a 162. Gilbert, AZ and Cary, NC are examples of towns that have the 162 code. But towns in Connecticut (those which aren't a city at the same time) have the 61 code, just like NY towns and NJ/IL/IN/MI townships, which are seldom included in other quizzes. That's where I based my decision on.

	I'd have thought Fort Bridger would be on here, but I guess all the snake bites, cholera and dysentery have taken their toll.

	Shocked that Santa Cruz is so small, would have thought it would be a bonus at least.

	I'm embarassed at how bad I did on this....

	Newport News was tricky - ironic given that it includes "New" twice!

	No Green Hill Zone? Not playing this quiz then. All I know of geography I gleaned from Sonic The Hedgehog on the Sega Megadrive, and it seems like none of these clues pertain to any of those zones at all! Weird...

	I felt so stupid that I missed New Orleans, but then I saw that only 25% got it right. I guess because I always hear it pronounced Nor-lans.

	When the "Town of Greenfield" MA [pop. 17537] decided a couple of years ago it wanted to change to a mayoral style of government, the state said they had to become a "city." They still wanted to be called a town so the official name is: The City of the Town of Greenfield.
