A very strange mix of cities in that it mixes major cities from around the world and then rather minor cities from the United States. As JetPunk is well known for its international base of users, this just is not fair to non-Americans.

Also, Delhi is not a city. New Delhi is the city inside the region of Delhi, the National Capital Region. This error is equivalent to saying Australia's capital is the Australian Capital Territory when Canberra, which is within the ACT, is the capital city.

I have to agree. As an american, these cities are rather small to put up on a quiz meant for people from around the world. Outside of the midwest, most people probably only recognize Fargo because of the show. And I don't think many people outside the US know Omaha...

There is a small city in OK called Altus, (pop. around 20,000) and once I got that in my head I couldn't think of anything else. Can't believe I didn't get Tulsa in the same state.

Dreaded this at first - and put it off - thinking they would all be obscure US cities. Delighted to find all but a few were international locations and all really easy.

please would you accept "sapri" together with paris?

lol just joking, but a disclaimer could be useful (something like: "if there are more than one city with same letters, put in the most populous")

Interesting...I breezed through this one in a hurry but I have some problems on the quizzes like this with longer names -- like I can only quickly solve a certain number of letters. Maybe I need more RAM or a faster processor between my ears? :-)

People complain that these quizzes are too US-centric, but I just see them as a chance to expand my knowledge. As a Brit who has never been to the US, I've learned so much about America from this site alone.

The only one that stumped me for a while this time was ACORI. Tried almost every possible combination before I got it. One of the most famous cities in the whole list, but I'm not surprised to see it at the bottom of the guessed list.
