Great quiz! Nominated!

Level 62

Apr 19, 2021

Pity I didn't get the point for Turkmenbashi, but good quiz, you learn some things from it. Could Turkmenbashi be valid for the town name?

Level 75

Apr 19, 2021

Sure

Level 70

Jun 18, 2021

Could you accept Pakse for Pakxe (Laos). Pakse is a very common spelling variation for the city of Pakxe.

Level 76

Jun 20, 2021

Agreed! I've been there, and it was mainly spelt Pakse on road signs.

Level 76

Sep 29, 2021

Still asking, 3 months later... :)

Level 75

Sep 30, 2021

okay

Level 71

Jun 19, 2021

Tried Kaosiung, Caosiung, Kaoshiung, Caoshiung, the "h" was misplaced, close enough. And somehow I got Bhutan but have no idea how, I was trying to write something else but don't know what. That one was a freebie

Level 67

Feb 10, 2023

for bhutan probably jakarta since I did the same thing and got the point

Level 34

Jun 28, 2021

Nominated!

Level 51

Sep 29, 2021

Nakchivan is spelled Nakhchivan (Naxçıvan in Azeri)

Level 59

Sep 29, 2021

Denpasar should be a valid answer for Indonesia should it not?

Level 76

Sep 29, 2021

Way too small!

Level 22

Feb 11, 2022

Still lack of cities... I typed Hohhot/Baoding/Qiqihar for China, Taitung for Taiwan, Niigata/Satsumasendai/Naha/Nagasaki/Kagoshima for Japan and Rason for North Korea. Still nothing response.... Are these cities not qualify as cities?

Level 75

Feb 12, 2022

The description specifically says it must be in the top 8

Level 61

Mar 14, 2022

I've taken the quiz for every continent and the world, and I absolutely respect the top 8 rule and am not complaining about it, but it annoys me when I put in a city in and it doesn't accept it. I know 5 in each of Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Thailand, and 3 in the DPRK, but...

Level 61

May 24, 2022

Update: got all of those except DPRK (40/47), and nominated (forgot to first time around)

Level 62

Apr 22, 2022

Spelling error alert! Nakhchivan is the correct spelling I believe.

Level 56

Nov 28, 2022

Wot no Stepanakert? It's got a larger population than the smallest place in either Armenia or Azerbaijan.

Unless of course you just don't want the aggro of arguing about where it isn't, which I can totally sympathise with
