1) The Church was actually organized in Fayette, New York. 2) It looks like BYU is only accepted as an answer if it is entered in *both* abbreviated and unabbreviated form. It should probably be more flexible.

You are so right. I have asked that either BYU or Brigham Young University be acceptable. And, I asked that Palmyra be changed to Fayette. Thanks for catching those two erros.

Could you accept the 3 top states for Mormon membership as three separate answers rather than having to list all three in the same box? And accept temple as well as temples? Thanks

Some of these answers are out of date, I should know, I'm Mormon. For example, Thomas S. Monson died.
