Okay, here's a fun game. I found a data set of city names, as part of a joke I was making on twitter. What are the 10 most common names? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 20:55 32
- Plain City, Jefferson, Douglas, Milton -- nm - Max Apr 23, 00:11
- Centralia, Salem, Highland Park -- nm - . Apr 22, 23:39
- This is the data file, btw -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 22, 22:01
- Athens. Moscow, paris, wellington, las vegas -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 22, 21:43 1
  - #55 (also with 15), no, no, #28 (with 17), no -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 22:01
- Jefferson. -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 22, 21:11 2
  - #47 with 15 -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 21:28 1
    - (okay, my code doesn't handle ties very well) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 21:29
- Mountain View or Prairie View -- nm - con_carne Apr 22, 21:07
