This might be my best quiz yet! Thank you guys for all the support, you led my determination to make an SVG!

March 30th Update:

Nearly two months after release, the SVG has been completely redone to better accompany population standards on JetPunk, along with the population column. Germany and Russia are now a more humble shade of grey, and the city-stroke has been reduced by half.

Nice job! It's good that you made the circles bigger based on population :D

Accept Kharkhiv for Kharkiv. It usually is. Great Quiz though, and the SVG is nice. You just got a subscriber

Thanks! Fixed!

Also make sure to turn the left side of the Bosphorus Strait Yellow in this quiz, and write a caveat saying the city on two continents is in Europe in this quiz. Thanks! Sorry for being a Nitpick.

Lol, I did this with the dot placer. It's not that type of SVG.

Oh ok.

Cute, but city proper, urban and metro area numbers are a bit mixed up. Paris is metro but not Amsterdam?

Level 65

I also found this strange. I knew from the start that this site was likely inaccurate, but it was the only source I could find other than wikipedia. In fact, I was hoping the whole time that Amsterdam would come up because there would definitely be complaints. I thought about adding a caveat saying the data might be inaccurate, but it slipped my mind. Thanks for the reminder!

I'd recommend citypopulation.de.

It has accurate data but the sorting of it is the most annoying thing ever. These cities aren't too far off.

Level 55

Just click on the Population bar of the table, and it will sort it by population

The update uses much better data!

Why are Germany & Russia greyed out? Shouldn't the cities be greyed out? If there are no cities in those countries that fit the criteria, then it only makes sense to grey out the other ones as well, such as Finland (which has no cities)

Level 65

Feb 5, 2021

Read the instructions. Lol. The whole point is Germany and Russia are excluded.

Level 56

Feb 19, 2021

oh ok, why is germany excluded tho?

Level 65

Feb 19, 2021

Because four highly cities within the population criteria are in it.

This is probably my best quiz
