Is it enough time, or should I shorten/extend it? Also, how's the difficulty: does the hint table help, or should I add more to it? Feedback is always appreciated!

Another 1-2 mins would be nice, but it isn't scary fast. Great quiz overall. Loved it.

Very interesting idea! I think the time provided is enough. The table with the hints is also quite useful. However, it is stated there are 2.5 cities in West Asia, but I think one is missing. I would surely enjoy playing an extended version of this quiz.

Thanks! Also, I realize you're right--I meant to say there's 1.5 cities in West Asia, not 2.5. The "0.5" comes from the Asian half of Istanbul (not sure if it's actually 50% of the city but for simplicity sake I assumed it is). Fixed!

Also, I'll probably make a US cities version of this, and if it's popular I might consider making a more extensive version of this quiz :)
