Haha these scores are exactly as I would expect them to be and match exactly how well I did.
National capital, national capital, major city, major city, etc., lesser cities that I've heard of...
Wait, there are more cities in Iran than the capital? Not gonna get those...
kuwiat as a country has just 3.6 millions. how it possible for its capital to contain more that 4 million peoples. your source is definitely wrong. try other sources like cia factbook.
I wonder if the difference is in how migrant workers, which comprise the majority of the population, are counted? But why do you assume our source is "definitely" wrong and the CIA World Factbook is right. Our source has a detailed breakdown, the CIA World Factbook doesn't.
Are you from the Middle East? I first encountered that spelling only after I traveled there. I think it's new. Mecca has transitioned to Makkah. Medina to Madinah. Spelling seems to be a moving target when it comes to names that are transliterated into other scripts. See Peking > Beijing and Bombay > Mumbai or Calcutta > Kolkata.
I saw your link, but whoever updated that page on Wikipedia made a slight mistake on Egypt. Some countries are transcontinental and have cities on two continents. For example, Moscow is in the European part of Russia while Vladivostok is in the Asian part of Russia. Much of Istanbul is in Europe while Ankara is in Asia. In Egypt Cairo is in Africa but Sharm El Sheik is in the Middle East.
I've seen Aleppo sometimes listed as the largest city in Syria and sometimes 2nd or 3rd. It probably has to do with how you measure. Or maybe how many thousands of people Assad has butchered there this month.
Its Jiddah in Saudi Arabia not Jeddah. If you will not change the spelling at least accept Jiddah as a correct answer. I was going crazy . Otherwise nice quiz
It's Jeddah (some accept without the 'H' on the end) on every other quiz on here. There are quizzes for cities and nations in their native languages...
