I disagree that Charles Town, WV is confused with Charleston, WV more than Charleston, SC is. You even had to have a disclaimer in your description

I had the disclaimer because someone else had done Charleston, South Carolina. Also Charles Town is in West Virginia as well so it is more likely for someone, word of mouth, get confused with those two cities

Charles Towne was the old name for Charleston, SC.

Also I did that because I live there.

I know Lucky cat, I just needed to be careful to specifically say West Virginia.

I'm aware of Charles Town, but unless you're from the region like you are, the only time you think about is in regards to the trial of John Brown. Charles Town might have higher percent chance of being confused for Charleston, WV, but you questions says "the most" in which case that's definitely Charleston, SC as barely anyone thinks about Charles Town

In the region. I mean you are more likely to say "Hey I am going to Charles Town or Charleston WV" if you live in like Davis WV. Considering that the 2 states/cities aren't that close to each other, distance wise you will get more confused with Charleston/CharlesTown than the one in South Carolina

You should add the link to the playlist into the caveats, so that people playing them can find the rest of the quizzes in the series easier (or just makes life easier for people playing through the series to get back) The HTML code was posted in the original blog

Good quiz though!

The population question is yet another guessing game, surely you can find something like a picture.

Yeah these came out before the guessing population and year of establishment rules were put in place.
