Caveats:

Special thanks to the following people for helping me make this quiz: Stewart for reducing filesize and for fixing some problems with the map, ABritishCat for helping with the data, and Stef2 for adding type-ins to Welsh cities.

Sources: citypopulation.de, Wikipedia is used if the data is unreliable/inaccurate, city proper population

This quiz will update at most every 1st of November. Please tell me if you find any mistackes.

I finally got around to taking this huge quiz. Got 708. I could have done a lot better, but there is only limited time, so I don’t have much time to think about the cities. I skipped over some obvious ones, like Vancouver, Lyon, and HONOLULU (I have no idea how I would miss Honolulu, as the dot is in the ocean far from any other dots.) Of course I could have took the quiz untimed, but I wanted my results to be in the stats and if this quiz featured I would get points for it, instead of having to retake the whole thing. Maybe in a couple months I will take this quiz untimed and see how much better I would do.

Once again, I appreciate your amazing work on this quiz, and hope this gets featured!

Great quiz although with nerve damaged hands I'll never be able to type in all the cities I know, lol. I've taken three times. Once I never got to any of the US cites over 100k, although I know them from doing the US cities over 100k quiz, another time I never got to most of the Russian cities, etc. Ah well. Quizzes like this motivate me to keep my hands limber.

One quibble: could you accept Essentuki for Yessentuki? I realize that Wikipeda shows the city name as Yessentuki; however, the link to a Russian website shows the city's name as Essentuki. It appears other websites such as Trip Advisor call the city Essentuki as well as other Jet Punk Quizzes, such as the all European Cities over 100k. Thanks for reading and for the great quiz!

Great quiz - but for some reason a significant number of cities don't turn green (even though they get accepted correctly), making it frustrating later on when you don't know if you've already typed in a city, it shows on the map as orange still so you type it in but nothing changes...

Zoom in. Like +SeekerSpock1 mentioned above, I wish there was another level of zooming in. There are tons of cities overlapping with one another. I would have to size the dots very precisely to overcome this problem but at that point, they will be almost impossible to distinguish between.

Hey! Thanks for this lovely quiz, it was amazing and I managed to get 1022, so it was pretty fun!

Some things I noted that are worth fixing:

- Santa Rosa de Toay should accept Santa Rosa

- Presidencia Roque Sáenz Peña should accept Sáenz Peña

- Masshad is misspelled, should be Mashhad

- Singapore is not in list

- Basra should be accepted

Only making you know as a constructive critic! It's understandable to have these tiny stuff to tweak with so many answers, so don't worry.

Apart from that, you could check some type-ins for some cities with multiple words.

Last but not least, you earned my nomination and 5 starts for such great job.

Cheers!

Hey, it looks like there a few mistakes that I couldn't find other comments about.

Zhengzhou, China (10.3m) is missing.

Roanoke, VA, US (101k) is missing.

There is a dot for Wilmington, Delaware despite it only having around 70k people. There should be a dot for Wilmington, North Carolina (120k) instead, which is missing.

Sfax is generally accepted as a type-in for Safaqis, Tunisia. (Personally though, I don't mind, thanks for making me look it up and learning something new)

Fantastic quiz though, seriously, good work.

Paradise Nevada is near Chico California

if I were to update this quiz, I would likely need to incorporate more recent city population data for each country, which for one would take a long time to compile. then, I would have to go through the hassle of finding the coordinates for over 5,000 cities as well as completely updating the proximity version and the complex type-ins required for it to function. not to mention the sheer amount of double-checking that would be required, along with the plethora of type-ins that would need to be added for cities that are in different languages, which, when I made this quiz - took a great deal of research. furthermore, I simply don't have the time right now to update such a gigantic quiz considering it is not even featured. I definitely will push an update at some point but not very soon. I know the 3rd caveat mentions me updating the quiz on December 1st but even a yearly update is simply not feasible for me. I am sorry about this.

I also can't type in Acapulco. Best wishes.
