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

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!

I thought the Han river refers to the Chinese one... I did not expect that. And I'm doing this quiz while *watching* Korean drama with my mother...

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.
