This is an insane quiz, but I don't know if people will want to take it if it fails to save your answers. It still doesn't as of now. Is it because of how much there is to process?

OMG, I just spent an hour on this and it didn't save my result. I wish I had read the comments before instead of after. You should put that stickied information in the caveats, if not the quiz description.

I guess this quiz is officially the biggest waste of time on the site!

I wanted to take this Quiz Really bad but 10,000 is just entirely too many answers with not enough effort to care lol. Even for an hour. Also I just read that it doesn’t save anyways so what’s the point lol. I will commend the effort and time it took to make a quiz of this caliber tho. More than I could ever do. Props to the quiz maker. I just don’t think the internet and Humanity is ready for it yet haha.

I did just the Maine towns and thought that, but it's using the Census Bureau's offsets to New England towns that totally redefine their actual borders.

After checking, the Census Bureau aligned it at 2,260 for the "Census Designated Place" in 2020. The actual municipality had 5,089. There's absolutely zero difference between towns and cities in New England. One type has a city council and city manager; the other has a town council and town manager. They can function absolutely identically, but the Census Bureau reports them in radically different ways.

This doesn't make sense really, census designated place and municipality/city are super different things. In vermont, for example, white river junction and wilder are villages in the same town, and norwich, the town just north, has a population of 3000 but isnt on this list because it is not a city? neither are the other two!
