	I'm shocked Barrow made the list. That's waaaaaaaay up there.

	I'm surprised Nome isn't on here. For a city of (apparently) less than 4,000, it sure is famous...

	Yeah, I really didn't know where to cut it off so I just did 4,000.

	Shocked no Nome, pretty hard quiz. 14 is an appropriate cut-off here. You should use a color scheme.

	Better?

	Oh Wasilla...the fairest of them all....

	Really, Fairbanks only has 31,000 people?

	Nome should be a bonus

	I wonder if Bristol Palin could complete this quiz?!

	@rob_909 I'm from Fairbanks, and 31,000 is just within the city limits, which are absurdly small. A lot of the town is outside the "city limits". Counting all the stuff in the city as it's considered, it's around 50,000. Seems if they are going by city limits for Fairbanks, they shouldn't include Eagle River in Anchorage's count.

	@Taradando: Eagle River is within the Municipality of Anchorage boundaries, as are Girdwood, Indian, Eklutna, Peters Creek, Birchwood, and probably a few others I am missing. Anyone living in each of these areas pays property taxes to the Municipality. Pretty sure that is the difference because all of the outlying areas around Fairbanks like Fox, Ester, Goldstream, etc... are technically goverened by the Fairbanks Northstar Borough, not the City. At least that's what I remember.

	Thanks to the movie The Proposal I got Sitka.

	Nice that you included the bonus, but you should give its population as well.

	jmarshallg:	Dec 4th, 2010 at 07:29 GMT	1 point
	I added population to the bonuses but it has to be in the rank column so I'm not sure how well it works.

	Nome is so famous partly because it was the biggest town in Alaska back in the gold rush days, shooting up to somewhere around 20,000, and partly for being the end of the 1925 dog sled race to deliver diphtheria medicine, and thus the end of the Iditarod race.
