A city is considered a settlement with a population over 100,000 people
By city proper, suburbs are fair game.

Very challenging, and an interesting quiz. But there are some odd omissions: Argenteuil (approx 108K) is in, but Amiens (approx 145K) is not. Also a couple of cities in Brazil that could have been included have been omitted, and the same with India.

Data is from 2016 so it's likely some cities have passed the 100K mark since. I'm not sure about the Brazilian or Indian cities, I am going off of a Wikipedia article sourced from UN reports but it may not be perfect.

Fantastic quiz! Only suggestions: Abbottabad, Pakistan, is misspelled, and Anderlecht is a district of Brussels, rather than a city, in its own right.

Hey Jiaozira, great quiz and I am excited for sequels! I am wondering if I can have permission to do the same thing with 1M cities.

Nice quiz! But once you end the quiz, you're unable to see which cities you missed.

Yes, I intended it to be that way, otherwise the map would be too crowded after you finished. I guess it's not a quiz for learning, but purely testing your knowledge. Anyways, I had mixed feelings towards the series and ended it after B (also took ages to make each one!)

Awesome! Do you plan on making more of these?

Unfortunately no, (although I do have a part B). These types of quizzes take too much work with little return, In my opinion at least. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the quiz, anyhow :)

BTW since you don't plan to make many more of these, do you mind if I make more quizzes of this type, but featuring different letters of the alphabet? (I already have a spreadsheet of 100k cities with coordinates from when I made my 'All 100k Cities' quiz)

Please do! The two quizzes I ended up making took ages to create, and I didn't care enough for the result to put the effort in. If you have the coordinates and city data already then that is an excellent time saver.

Thanks! I already made a C version back in November but will continue to make more, considering I now added dot sizes to my spreadsheet

I don't know if you're willing to update this quiz at this point, but it sure would've been nice to have the cities arranged by population (or even nicer, an extra column with the population in it). The quiz is incredibly difficult as is, and being able to see the cities arranged by population would've at least alerted me to any major cities I missed! (And I missed quite a lot of major cities)

I'll consider it. I don't know what I want from this quiz, actually! The concept sounded way cooler than the execution :P

The quiz is outdated. In 2019, Astana was named Nur-sultan.
