Indochina = the areas between India (Indo) and China (...China). Burma is sometimes included, but not always, probably because Burma used to be a part of British India, and because it shares a similar-ish culture to places like Thailand.
I think where some people get confused is that they often see the term "French IndoChina," referring to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, and then assume that French IndoChina and IndoChina are the same thing.
I think Mexico is part of North America. N America is Canada down to Panama, including the Caribbean islands. Central America is Belize to Panama. Latin America is anywhere that speaks a Romance language. I think I confused Latin America with Central America.
As for the time limit, I am a slow, poor typist and finished 24/24, albeit with only 0:18 on the clock. In regards to Central America, I am with Simsy and DudiJG on this point, but can certainly understand how Mexico is omitted, including by most authoritative sources.

"Trait" seems so strange when all but "founded after 1950" are locations. Also I thought Mexico was Central America? -- also in Finland Helsinki is not counted as having over 1mil inhabitants, but I guess if you add the areas around you'll end up with that.
Look, if you're going to nit-pick, then why not complain about the terms "below" 30 degrees south and "above" 60 degrees north or the Arctic circle? The questions were intelligible albeit inaccurate.
When did Guangzhou triple its population? I think you have confused the future project of merging the major cities of the Guangdong province together into one super city with the separation between them today. The population in Guangzhou is around 18 million and I live as an expat in Shenzhen which is the second most populated in the province and we are no way near of being included in Guangzhou.
Why would it include Shenzhen? I live in Shenzhen and this city is not part of Guangzhou, even if you counted Shenzhen as part of Guangzhou Tokyo still would have a larger population. I wonder if you have confused Guangzhou with Guangdong, which is the province...
Not unless you are talking about the UN geoscheme which groups Mexico and Central America together as a subregion of North America for statistical analysis.
Shenzhen is not even that close to Guangzhou. It would make more sense as part of Hong Kong. Also it was founded well after 1950 and is much bigger than Brasilia.
Completely forgot about Sicily. Guessed every Corsican, Sardinian, Cypriot and Maltese city I know, and was working my way through the Aegean looking for a curveball...
St Petersburg straddles the 60th parallel and is a much bigger agglomeration than Helsinki. It seems plausible that the portion of St Petersburg north of 60 degrees has more people than all of Helsinki.
I see multiple people complain about it, so just to clarify.
There is Middle America and there is Central America.
Middle America is a relatively vague term referring to the places in the middle of the Americas including Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and sometimes, Colombia, Venezuela and the Guianas.
Central America is a much more limited term which specifies the countries of Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. In other words, the land mass between Colombia and Mexico.
So Central America does, in fact, not include Mexico.
First of all, I've more often seen "Middle America" refer to the American (United States) "heartland"- from about Colorado in the West to Ohio in the East. Though I looked it up and also see that the term is used the way you did here.
Second, Central America is just as vaguely defined as your definition of Middle America. Google "Central America map" and you will find about a 60/40 or 70/30 split between those that include Mexico and those that do not, with a majority reflecting your definition.
Awesome quiz! But very difficult for me, I am quite good at the countries, but not at the cities, I have yet to master all the capitals. And this required some extra thinking aswell (and knowing what/where some things were, like great lakes and yucatan peninsula).
Edit: ow (that is what everybody is waiting for ofcourse... why else read the comments.... :P ) I got 9/24
Please add metric values for the altitudes, because 95% of the world's population will have absolutely no mental image of how high up 5000ft or 10000ft is, making it very difficult to know which cities might be above those altitudes.
