The number you have for Helsinki is the metro area which includes Helsinki 650,000, Espoo 284,000, Vantaa 228,000 and then some more. So the number for Helsinki is too big and you're missing two Finnish cities.

Why isn't "Seville" accepted for Sevilla? That would be like not accepting Munich for Munchen.

Paris 2 million? Sorry, but city proper population is a highly discredited statistic, forcing people to guess at otherwise anonymous suburbs.

If you redo this quiz with urban area population it would probably be worth doing and/or nominating.

Come on man. I would like to nominate a quiz like this but it's totally an error. some of the cities are like metro areas and other loke municipalities. so we end up having Paris smaller than Berlin and Athens smaller than Zaragoza and Valencia... Athens is almost 4 million...

Really love this layout, very visually pleasing. If I may ask, how do you combine the picture of the flag and the normal text layout? Been trying to figure it out, but haven't succeeded yet.

Kind regards
