There is a Combined Statistical Area (CSA) for Salt Lake City-Provo-Orem (to give that CSA its exact name), which covers the whole northwestern fifth of Utah, hence the inflated numbers for Salt Lake City. There is no CSA for San Antonio, so the "San Antonio" of this quiz has a much smaller area than "Salt Lake City" - hence it being apparently smaller.
You're right! Let's use California for San Francisco, Texas for San Antonio and so on and let's call them all countries! Oh wait, Puerto Rico isn't even a state.
True, I wasn't the first to notice that. Is it a mistake or is it just in the wrong place? Will the Quizmaster come to the rescue? Will OCD strike? Will life ever be the same again?
what about suzhou, china? population 10 million. way more beautiful and much more of a vacation hotspot than the other two, shantou and shijiazhuang, which i've never heard of.
It's weird not to consider Shenzhen an urban area per se, but even weirder not to consider Suzhou at all, which has a lot of people and is in a different municipality (Jiangsu) than Shanghai.
Further, if Shenzhen is part of the same urban area of Guangzhou, then all quizzes should be updated to include the urban area of Chongqing which counts more than 30mln people.
Yeah, as someone who lived in Shenzhen before living in Guangzhou I don't get it. They are two distinct cities with a big ass river between them. If you're going to include Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Macau, Donnguan, Huizhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong as one city than you have to include Philadelphia, all of New Jersey, and New York as one or Sacramento to San Francisco/Oakland to San Jose as one. Sure there are many others.
