Default Online Census

Is it just me or was this decade's online census extremely short compared to previous ones? It took about 5 minutes to fill it out for the three of us. My son gets to do his first one separately now.

****While typing this, I looked it up and it seems the 2010 was this short also. For whatever reason, I don't remember it being this short. Previous ones had a mix of short and long forms, so I guess I have always drawn the short straw and received the long forms (pun intended).****

All they asked on the questionnaire was to confirm where we live, who lives here, our race/ethnicity, and our origin (England, Ireland, Germany, etc.).

Personally, I have no clue where my ancestors came from. It wouldn't let me leave it blank so I chose English, and I did the same for my wife and daughter. From what I just read, may last name is a common surname throughout Europe since it's a knockoff of St. Benedict's name.
