Great quiz, but would be helpful to add a definition of "major" city. Lancaster, Schenectady, and Wilmington NC are "major" cities?

Schenectady is included because it has the oldest housing cluster in Albany metro area (older than Albany itself), and thus Albany works as a type-in. See the fine print in the caveat.
