I’m assuming this is limited to 1m+ metro areas but you should probably put that in the caveats. Otherwise Carson City should be #1. Lost a lot of time typing cities that didn’t meet the population threshold

It is only cities with a city proper of 500k. That caveat is listed in the quiz editor. I don't know why it doesn't appear for you.
