Evil lab punishes me for rushing and not reading exact numbers.

Hi @CodeF53! So sorry this lab annoyed you so much - I definitely feel your pain! 😄 Unfortunately, I don't really see a good way to fix it. It's there as a picture rather than in table format because we don't want students to be tempted to just copy/paste from the source html rather than constructing the table themselves. The other option is to provide a link to the source (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population), but those figures are updated regularly so it would only be helpful until the figures didn't match the tests anymore. We will come up with a different example - one that uses smaller numbers - the next time we update this lesson, but for now I'm going to close this issue.

Thanks for contributing to the Flatiron School curriculum 💙
