It was bothering me so I looked it up, but I will not spoil it for anyone. (I may not even be right)

Clearly population figures. Probably a list of the same cities at different points in time as the numbers are relatively close. 7 million has to be NYC. 3 million has to be Chicago. Moon must mean one is LA. Ashburn must mean one is Philadelphia. In general, the asterisks seem to reflect a decline from the above list. But that does not explain the asterisk in the first list.

7,891,957 (1st group, fourth number listed), 7,781,984* (2nd group, fourth), and 7,894,862 (3rd group, fourth)
do indeed represent the official population of New York City in 1950, 1960, and 1970, respectively.
That's as far as we've gotten.

Asterisks represent number enhanced by steroid use.

Frank is Cicada3301.

Frank - I do hope that the answer, when it is finally revealed, is not so obscure as to make any effort to find it fruitless.

In the 1990's my soon-to-be-ex-wife convinced me to attempt a sports trivia contest over the phone- well, anyone could have seen that result coming down main street...the first three or four questions were easy enough, but the fifth asked for the total points scored by all NFL teams in the 19xx playoffs...

As much as I enjoy a good challenge...

Frank...if it's like that, please just apologize and drop the mike...
