Usually Jetpunk quizzes of this type don't require you to type in "new". Also, "Most densely populated U.S." what?

Level 78

Mar 1, 2019

I read that clue as "Most densely populated United State"

Ditto on the requirement of "new"; it's already in the question, why the need to repeat it? - Also, you refused to accept New Holland for the original name of Australia.

New Taipei isn't a Region.

It's a city!

My interesting fact for this quiz was 'Naples is one of the oldest cities in Europe. Its original name was Neápolis, meaning "new city".' Interesting indeed.

A bit of a quibble on the Boston suburb one:

Newton MA isn't named for a scientist. It may have the same name as one, but it literally derives from "Newe Towne" (which was what it was originally called before it became Newtown, and finally Newton).

Can I suggest rewording that clue to indicate, perhaps, that it is a "Boston suburb that is the namesake of a scientist"? 😊

Please accept Vila Nova de Gaia, I was really confused when it wasn't accepting it

This is a bit pedantic but Nieuw Amsterdam and Novgorod don't start with any of the phrases in the description.
