I really want to change the actual name for St. Petersburg and Kolkata to their 1950 names Leningrad and Calcutta, respectively, but that would reset the stats...sorry. They're accepted as type-ins though

Nice quiz Dodoma! And no, I think 100 answers is just fine. Also, can you accept Antwerp or just change it to the correct English spelling?

Pandora, recently you've had a knack of creating too many amazing quizzes! 90/100, nominated for sure. The more we get into the future, the more population will be centered around Africa and Asia.

This quiz is really good for accepting a lot of the contemporary forms in use in 1950 but yes it should allow Leningrad (and Peking).
