18/20 too, but missed Milwaukee and Kuwait city. London's easy as I live there (After 6 days, I won't be :) ).

I didn't think to try Milwaukee. Only one I missed, and I tried everything else too.

I guess that Malmo, Sweden isn't considered major enough to be on this quiz, because it is very close to Copenhagen.

The metro population of Malmo is less than 1 million.

Shouldn't it be Gothenburg? It's 229 km away as compared to Hamburg's 285 km, and its metro population is over 1 million.

Minneapolis/St. Paul is around 3 million. Not sure about Milwaukee, seems much smaller when I visit there, but probably just over a million.

Kept putting Tampa, Orlando, etc. for St. Petersburg. Also URBA population over 1 million. thats a typo.

I wasted time trying Florida cities until I figured out that if it wasn't Tampa, it must be the other St. Petersburg. Still missed it. Montreal gave me trouble, too. I didn't think Ottawa was that big but I finally tried it out of desperation.

Why would you assume a small city in Florida over the former Russian imperial capital? St Petersburg, Russia has about 20 times the population of St Petersburg, Florida. What's more the Floridian city is named after the Russian one.

I'd never even heard of St Petersburg, Florida until about a year ago, and I'm pretty sure St Petersburg, Russia is more well known and much more historical. I'm British so you Americans might think different, but I still think St Petersburg, Russia would be a more likely answer.

I would imagine that Gothenburg is over a million people now or if not will be soon. It was just 18 thousand under in 2010 census and with the influx of refuges since I think it's a safe bet.

18,000 to a million in six years (at the time of their comment) would be insane. Especially for Sweden.

I missed Abu Dhaba because I read it as "Abu Dubai" and tried guessing every middle eastern city except Dubai.

I assume you are counting the whole of Pas de Calais for Calais. But then surely Lille would be the largest city - metro population nearly 4 million

Unless I typed it wrong, "HCMC" wasn't accepted on this quiz as it normally is.

Also in the description "urba" should be changed to "urban"
