	Great idea. I suggest making the first column (and perhaps the answer column) narrower and the third column wider; then there won't be so many (or any) clues that require two lines of text instead of one. Very hard game, but cool.

	coulraphobic123:	May 8th, 2010 at 17:29 GMT		3 points
	Will do...thank you.

	coulraphobic123:	May 8th, 2010 at 17:36 GMT		2 points
	Actually I'm not sure how. When I try to adjust the style in the editing part, it only adjusts width for the first two columns...the third column stays stuck at 10%

	Joshdent:	May 8th, 2010 at 22:37 GMT		2 points
	I think Colchester, VT has a significantly larger population than Cabot.

	coulraphobic123:	May 8th, 2010 at 22:58 GMT		0 points
	You're right...but it's not an incorporated place...I'm going based solely on incorporated places...I'll probably update when/if 2010 Census data comes out soon because then I'll include CDPs (Hawaii is the only state in which all places are unincorporated).

	AtomicOtter:	May 9th, 2010 at 01:17 GMT		4 points
	Although, the census doesn't recognize them as incorporated places, towns in New England are corporate entities and function the same as cities in other states.

	jonnyr12:	May 9th, 2010 at 20:28 GMT		3 points
	Having grown up in Connecticut, I strongly agree with AtomicOtter. I love these quizzes you've made, but it doesn't make sense to omit at least one New England state from each of these quizzes because of the weird way we define our towns.

	Lindsay:	Jun 19th, 2010 at 05:03 GMT		2 points
	I'll echo the earlier sentiments - you need to reconsider how you're deciding which New England cities/towns to include. Colchester, VT really needs to be on here; it's one of the more significant locations in the state. Semantics shouldn't keep it off of this list.

	coulraphobic123:	Jun 21st, 2010 at 17:57 GMT		2 points
	Attention everyone: I will be re-doing these (and making ones for each letter) when the 2010 Census data comes out. Thank you!

	TheReaver88:	Jun 27th, 2010 at 20:02 GMT		2 points
	Yeah, I don't know why Columbia, MD isn't on the list or considered an incorporated place. It's much larger than College Park, but it's nowhere to be found on the census list. Peculiar.

	minus_the_bear:	Jun 30th, 2010 at 06:24 GMT		2 points
	hehe coon rapids.

	tjconn728:	Jun 30th, 2010 at 14:11 GMT		2 points
	I know that this has already been said, but as a Connecticut native, I guarantee you that Cheshire is incorporated, regardless of what the Census says. It's the biggest "C" town I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm not sure it is the largest. As for Maryland, where I live now, Columbia is definitely much larger than College Park, but although everyone considers it a city, it's not actually incorporated, so it's a tough call there. 2010 Census data probably won't come out for at least a year, so you may not want to wait for that.

	deej:	Jul 1st, 2010 at 06:49 GMT		2 points
	you could make an argument for Las Cruces, NM since the "las" is an article that is usually omitted in English translation. It might be a good bonus or something, not literally saying it should be the correct answer.

	deej:	Jul 1st, 2010 at 06:52 GMT		2 points
	Also, when the answer is the same as the county, instead of just giving away a free answer maybe say "(Same as City)" or something. Don't feel like you have to give away freebies in order to "stay consistent."

	i live in wisconsin and i never even heard of caledonia!

	Cascade-Fairwood, WA isn't a city - it's a Census area, which is an arbitrary designation made by the Census Bureau to divide unincorporated areas. Covington may be the largest city in Washington.

	coulraphobic123:	Jul 30th, 2010 at 01:36 GMT		2 points
	I'm just going by what the table says provided in my source. Hopefully when the 2010 Census numbers come out (which is when I'll be redoing these) they'll be clearer.

	Geo_Crazy:	Feb 3rd, 2011 at 04:15 GMT		1 point
	I've lived 16 years in King County and I've never heard of Cascade-Fairwood (though I know "Fairwood"). I could not think of another "c" city in King County after Covington failed.
