Can I have a source? I'm pretty sure Hamburg and Munich are more populous than Essen.

It's urban. The ruhr is the more populous urban area. I'm pretty sure I used citypopulation.de

Trouble is Ruhr is an urban area comprising of many cities. Ruhr is actually the name of one of the largest rivers of the region, the other being the Rhein.

Can I also suggest an extra minute for us older folk that can't type very quickly :)

Other than that its a nice quiz !

On the dot placer, it'll say "dot fill". Click on the hex code and change the color using that.
