I added the "date" column to this quiz. The dates for China and India are very approximate. The Russian Empire attained a population of 100 million in the 1800's, but the part that is currently Russia didn't reach 100 million until 1930.

Great move adding the dates. Very interesting!

How do you know when it will be on the front page? I can't figure out when mine will.

Now that you say that, I wonder what quizzes might be featured on November 8.

Level 36

Nov 5, 2016

Do you have to apply/ask for your quiz to be featured? If so, how does one ask for permission?

Level 51

Nov 5, 2016

I don't think so, but your quiz needs to be reasonably popular and people who want it featured.

Kwl quiz.

Ethiopia now has more than 100 million people.

Wikipedia disagrees with you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopia

That data is from 2015.

That's a UN projection, still I think it should be included since it will happen soon.

Pretty easy. Just a shorter version of the most populous countries in the world quiz.

why mexico and japan switch?

Ughh! I thought of Philippines in the last second and could only type "phili" in time.

Egypt is a country that is coming very close to 100 million people. There are 104 million Egyptians worldwide but 9 million of those live outside the country. Whatever the number, Egypt is definitely going to be the next country on this list.

Level 68

Jan 7, 2019

It seems you were correct!

Level 51

Jan 12, 2019

Didn't expect it to appear on this list so soon but it has joined the club! Vietnam is next.

Level 67

Mar 22, 2020

Vietnam has a net growth of 0.9m and dropping, and congo of 2.8m and rising. I think congo will beat them (if things continue on the same trend, no wars etc)

Level 51

Feb 23, 2021

No, I think Vietnam will get there first. Perhaps some time in the next 2 or 3 years. D.R.C will take marginally longer, maybe 3 or 4 years. But it will be close so I could end up being wrong.

Level 51

Oct 9, 2021

I think it will be very close. We will see who gets there first in 2024.

Level 83

Jan 7, 2019

Almost forgot Japan. Of course, if current trends continue, Japan could become the first country to fall off this list, though not for another couple decades at least.

Level 71

Jan 8, 2019

Got everything except Egypt. I knew it had a lot of people, but I thought it was closer to maybe 50-60 million or so, so I was way off!

Level 66

Jan 28, 2019

I actually thought it was higher.

I missed India, once again because it was an answer I thought I had already typed. Note to brain: Make sure the fingers have finished before you move on to the next answer.

Level 68

Philippines and Ethiopia out of order?

Level 63

Jun 16, 2019

Vietnam will be on here soon, it is on 97.4M as of June 15th 2019.

Level 67

Mar 22, 2020

Dont think you have used the same (in my opinion very accurate, in contrast with other sources sometimes used for quizzes, which use outdated data or are rough estimates) source as this quiz. Vietnam is currently (March 22, 2020) 97.097.000 and in 2019 (I think that is midyear) it was 96.462.000

estimate for midyear 2020 is 97.339.000 and in 2025 is it over the 100m threshold with 101.107.000 (I rounded all numbers to 1.000)

So either you were a year ahead of time or made a 96/97 typo ;)

Congo actually seems to be next in line, currently 88.794.000, but it grows faster, estimated to be 104.134.000 so 3 millions more than vietnam, probably reaching it a year earlier than them.

Why is Ethiopia placed before Philippines?

Level 38

Dec 27, 2020

You put Philippines as 107 million and 109 million for Ethiopia.

I think you have made a mistake

Level 59

Jan 29, 2021

I don't know where you got 132 million as the population for Mexico but it has never reached that so as of yet. It is 126 million on Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Mexico

And on Worldometer, it is 129 million: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/mexico-population/

Level 66

Apr 22, 2021

Yeah I don't know either. This quiz uses woldometers which has Mexico at almost 130m for 2021 and this quiz isn't updated, which is should be.

This should be updated since Pakistan passed Brazil over a year ago. Nigeria will pass Brazil in a year or two, but you probably shouldn't wait that long.
