	Er...get a life? Says a guy who complains about people complaining about a thing that annoys probably many other people. LOL! Yes, "New York" should always be accepted.

	Yeah, I may be, and you're obviously no more than eight years old. But you may now proceed with your milk and cookies, because I'm out! I believe it's enough of the offtopic anyway. rmasterb: If you do fix this quiz a bit, could you also include the stats. This is a nice sequel to other similar quizzes and deserves to be executed as well as the ones before.

	For comparison, Cahokia had an estimated population about 40,000 way back in 1250. It collapsed long before the Europeans arrived, though but it's population record (within present US territory) certainly lasted for a very long time.

	@cuendillar: Cool, I hadn't heard of Cahokia before! "In 1250, its population was larger than that of London, England. If the highest population estimates are correct, Cahokia was larger than any subsequent city in the United States until about 1800, when Philadelphia's population grew beyond 40,000." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahokia
