Jul 20, 2019

Level 77

Jul 21, 2019

Level 63

Sep 22, 2019

Surely Tallinn should be included as a viable answer??

+26

Level 85

Sep 22, 2019

If the entire population of Estonia lived there, sure.

Level 70

Sep 22, 2019

According to wikipedia, Riga makes it just above 1 million.

Level 55

Sep 22, 2019

Riga no longer has an urban area above 1 million inhabitants most sources listing it above this mark are heavily outdated by +10 years such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_areas_in_Europe. While the wikipedia page on the city lists it being 939,000

Level 85

Sep 22, 2019

Krakow metro is over 1,000,000. Also, accept Kyiv for Kiev.

Level ∞

Sep 22, 2019

Kyiv will work now

Level 68

Sep 22, 2019

If you are counting metro area population, I think Z should also include Zagreb

Level 80

Sep 23, 2019

And Voronezh should include an "h"

Level 30

Sep 23, 2019

Wow, putting in Ufa was pushing it a little bit. It was an overall great quiz, though! ily Quizmaster

Level 22

Sep 23, 2019

You should add Bern, Bratislava and Florence

Level 62

Dec 1, 2019

Bern only has about 130,000 people, Bratislava's population is about 430,000, and Florence only 380,000.

Level 92

Sep 27, 2019

I was surprised when Koln wasn't accepted, as I was pretty sure it crossed 1 million in 2010ish. Then when I finally got Copenhagen, I saw it appear there. Kind of a strange case, but I think I'd accept it as a type-in for the C answer.

Level 82

Sep 28, 2019

It's clearly Cologne in English, no dilemma here.

Level 82

Oct 2, 2019

Gdańsk's metro area 1,080,700 inhabitants) should be added

Level 62

Oct 30, 2019

I tried that one too...also thought Geneva, Graz, or Genoa would be there

Level 89

Oct 17, 2019

Essen falls out because of Düsseldorf?

Level 73

Oct 22, 2019

Utrecht is larger than Ufa by latest census.

Level 62

Dec 1, 2019

Not by metro area at least - Ufa's estimated population in 2018 was 1,120,547, while, as of May 2014, Utrecht's metro population was 656,342.

Level 67

Dec 1, 2019

Krasnodar, Russia has more than 1 million people now

Level 62

Dec 1, 2019

Estimate for 2018 (Krasnodar, Russia): 899,541

Level 72

Dec 1, 2019

Voronez is wrong, it should be Voronezh.

Level 66

Dec 1, 2019

Voronez is a common Romanization o Voronezh

Level 65

Dec 1, 2019

Well done and thanks

Level 52

Dec 1, 2019

Krakow is Poland's second largest city. Katowice is much smaller. I visited both, and trust me, Krakow is much bigger, and feels that way, too. Yet, this accepts Katowice, and not Krakow? Sorry, but I don't think that makes sense. Also, Zagreb is not accepted for Z, and neither Genoa nor Geneva are accepted for G. Maybe they are not technically big enough?

Level 66

Dec 1, 2019

If you think there is a city missing from this list that should be here, please check the source below first:

Arrggh... only missed 'Ufa' - kept trying Ulm.

Level 84

Dec 1, 2019

That was the one I missed as well. Could only think of Utrecht and Uppsala. I hope I remember Ufa for future quizzes, but I'm not optimistic.

Level 66

Dec 1, 2019

It's a quiz problem. Utrecht should qualify given the stats on the referenced website.

Level 62

Dec 1, 2019

Metro pop. for Utrecht 2014: 656,342

Level 79

Dec 2, 2019

Yep, I also tried Utrecht. Forgot about Uppsala, but that's the other European city I knew.

Level 57

Dec 1, 2019

Although Seville shows up in the list of correct S answers, typing Seville doesn't work.

Level ∞

Dec 1, 2019

Fixed now

Level 63

Dec 1, 2019

I was trying Utrecht, which probably should be there according to comments. Also, JetPunk quizzes usually spell Yekaterinburg with a Y, even if citypopulation.de uses the German transliteration of Jekaterinburg

Level 63

Dec 1, 2019

Actually either version of Yekaterinburg would add a new letter to the quiz...

Ufa, seriously?

Level 21

Dec 2, 2019

any reason for not adding zagreb?

Level 82

Dec 3, 2019

it doesn't have a million people

Level 63

Jan 16, 2020
