Fair enough, I didn't do very well! But could you also have 'christian' for 'christianity'? And I don't think just '44' works on its own.

It's a little trickier this one! Also I've made changes so 'Christian' and '44' should now be accepted

When you start typing "44" for the dialing code, you auto-populate the answer for "how many cities over 1 million" which is 4.

a few type-ins for London Heathrow would be helpful. I knew the answer, but almost gave up after LHR and Heathrow and London didn't work.

Thanks for all the advice, it's been corrected now.
