15/20 I never would have guessed the 5 I missed. For a start...Sao Paulo? I didn't even know that.

I had a hard time with Sao Paulo too. I would have guessed Rio De Janeiro or even Lisbon to have the bigger population. You live you learn :)

Are you sure about Milan? There would be 1.7 million inhabitants versus over 2 million in Rome.. If you take the greater metropolitan areas, then it is 3.3 million Rome and 7 million people in and around Milan.

Sao Paulo is well within the top 10 for worldwide cities for population. It's right there with Seoul, Mumbai, and Delhi. Lisbon is way down the list. Rio De Janeiro is maybe top 20 I think.

Aren't Delhi and New Delhi the same? I used New Delhi :(

According to Wikipedia, Delhi is the National Capital Territory of India and New Delhi is the capital city of India. This quiz is on cities, not territories, but New Delhi didn't work.

I guessed Ahmedabad just after seeing how populous it is on another quiz. Good thing it worked because I would have no idea what to guess for Gujarati.

What makes this bad is that I knew them all except one, but for some I didn't get for spelling! Argh!

New Delhi and Delhi are different places. Thats why one says NEW.

Not at all. New Delhi is 'the new part of Delhi', not like New Orleans or New Plymouth. Delhi was the original city and it remains the name of the city as a whole.

Wow, it's like they speak a different language in every city in India!

Exactly. I had already seen so many languages for Indian cities, I figured Gujarti must be for Pakistan of Bangladesh. Bad decision...
