Pittsburgh is on the Allegheny River, It says that it has to be on the river, not a tributary.

Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are quite close in population. According to citypopulation.de, Pittsburgh's urbanized area had a population of 1.73 million and Cincinnati's urbanized area had a population of 1.62 million at the 2010 census. However, from 2000 to 2010 Pittsburgh had a negative growth rate whereas Cincinnati had a positive growth rate, and if these rates continued for the last 10 years then Cincinnati would have surpassed Pittsburgh by now. It seems to me like there's no great way of knowing until the 2020 census data are released, after which this quiz may need to be updated.

And by the way, Pittsburgh is definitely located on the Ohio River.

I know this is going by urban area on citypopulation.de but I find it interesting that Cincinnati and Pittsburgh's populations are almost exactly the same by city proper. Pittsburgh's is 302,205 (2019) and Cincinnati's is 301,394; less than 1,000 apart.

Indus River in Hyderabad? Indus flows through Tibet, "North India" and Pakistan and Hyderabad is in "South India". I guess that the correct answer must be Karachi, though, I am not completely sure of it. So, please verify it before making the change.

I guessed Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, but...

It looks like it hits Hyderabad, Pakistan but misses all the others!

Edicts just aren't as cool as they used to be. Now everyone is into the science fiction writers of the Belle Epoque. Soon enough all the kids are going to be spending their pennies at the nickelodeon which will inextricably lead to filming the Tide ball challenge on YouTube.

As is clearly spelled out in the directions. City proper population is a terrible measure. By city proper Indianapolis is a larger city than San Francisco. That's why we generally don't use it on JetPunk.

I know that Rio De La Plata was named a long time ago by someone long dead, but is it really a river? It looks more like a bay or gulf than a river to me.There is no apparent delta. It just opens directly into the ocean, there are several large rivers that flow into the same bay, and it's 140 miles wide. Not complaining about the question or expecting anything to be done about it. I'm just curious if I'm the only person that sees it that way.

I had the same thought. On a map it sure doesn't look like a river.

Can you please accept Cincy for Cinncinati? I know it's not the official name, but it's accepted on literally every other quiz, so I didn't bother typing in the full name when it didn't work.

There's a Han river that flows through Shantou (my first guess), another one through Taichung, and third through Da Nang, plus the two accepted here through Seoul or Wuhan. Consider either choosing a different river for this quiz, or giving a country clue for Han River?
