Apparently, it's now known as "The Clock Towers". Which is confusing because there are 7 towers but the largest one is also known as "The Clock Towers".

Just curious, why are World Geography on a Map #1 and #2 eligible for points but #3 and #4 not?
+2
Level 73

Because these two haven't been featured yet. Only quizzes featured on the front page (meaning they have been checked and approved by the QM) are eligible for points.

isn't the tokyo skytree among the tallest skyscrapers in the world?

Can't speak for the quiz creator, but I think that the Tokyo Skytree is generally not considered a building.

I think it's part of it, the same way that the gulf of Aqaba is part of the Red Sea, and that the Adriatic is part of the Mediterranean.

The point for Mecca Clock Tower is too far north. Mecca should be closer to where Jeddah is. I think the point for Islamabad is also a bit north of where it should be.

I wonder why Ping An Finance Center is tied for the lowest when Shenzhen works. Fun quiz, I knew them all except for the skyscrapers, so I just guessed the cities.

I enjoy the concept, but why use numbers in the description? What's the point of saying 20 of these, and 5 of these? You could as easily say 25 of these, or disregard the numbers entirely, since the users have the grid of answers to work with anyway.

The Petronas Towers only rank #21 in the world now:

Merdeka 118 is a different building completed in 2023 which is over 200 meters taller than the Petronas Towers.

In Uk Yangtze is an accepted spelling for Yangtze in same way as Mao Tse Tung or Mao Zedung as in essence they are translated into a different alphabet

I guess you meant Yangtse which I also tried. It's accepted as a type-in on most other river quizzes on this site but doesn't seem to be for this one.

The stats speak for themselves, the skyscraper part is too hard... maybe allow Mecca and Kuala Lumpur? And a few type-ins for Yangtze would be nice too.
