In no other quiz would you have to guess "port" when it's already in the clue. Sudan by itself should have worked.

It's not that it's inconvenient to write, but if Sudan doesn't work, some people might just give up from there.

Cartoon = Saskatoon? I'm from there and if that's the reference its a bit of a stretch...

Toon is short for cartoon, the first time I heard of the city I inmediately thought it sounded cartoony. I think the clue is fine.

I think this is a case where, if you've grown up with knowledge of Saskatoon, you've probably never associated the name with anything other than the city (or berry) itself. It took me a while to understand the clue as well.

If you’ve grown up with knowledge of Saskatoon you probably already know it’s the largest city in Saskatchewan.

Isn't Istanbul larger than Tehran?

Istanbul population: 15,840,900

Tehran population: 16,000,378

+2
Level 55
May 25, 2022
I would agree, Istanbul would need to take Tehran's place: The 16,000,738 for Tehran is including metro area, via Wikipedia - in the "official" JetPunk list it is listed as 8,895,947 for the city proper (https://www.jetpunk.com/info/capital-cities-by-population#list-of-all-capitals-by-population), while Istanbul has 15,514,128 in that category (on Wikipedia, as it is not listed on JetPunk, as it is not a capital). If not, a clarification regarding metro area would be helpful.

May 25, 2022
I already knew it before playing so didn't try that, but even from that perspective I think "Port of Sudan" should totally be accepted.

(Especially given the nature of the clue!)

I think only 40% getting Port Sudan shows the hint should maybe be worded slightly differently. Something like, “It’s the largest port. In Sudan.” Without a reference to thinking. My guess is that that wording alone would lead to over 50%.
