Level 75

Feb 21, 2022

Details and caveats:

By city proper when possible, according to citypopulation.de. Wikipedia, WorldAtlas, and GeoNames are backup sources

Some countries don't have cities, just municipalities. In those cases, we go by the municipality population.

When no reliable source has a sufficient number of cities listed, any city listed by the source will work

Because of lack of good data, Costa Rica, Fiji, and South Africa are by urban area

Level 68

Jun 14, 2021

In Greece it's Peristeri not Pesisteri :) (Not that many people would know it anyway )

Level 68

Jun 14, 2021

Great! Two quibbles - Bogota is accepted though it is the Colombian capital, and is there a typo with Quetzaltenango? I could’ve sworn I spelled it right.

Level 65

Jun 16, 2021

Great quiz

Just a thing: Salto with an "o" is in Uruguay.

Salta with an "a" is in Argentina.

When I spelled Salto, I got Argentina and didnt know why, and Salto was the first option to get trough my mind when I tryied to get Uruguay.

Level 53

Jun 19, 2021

Please accept Hargeysa for Hargeisa. It is a correct alternative spelling.

Level 62

Apr 22, 2022

Tried this as well

Level 27

Jun 23, 2021

Nothing I tried for Malaysia worked - including Penang, Malacca, Kota Bharu, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching and Sandakan

Level 81

Dec 10, 2021

Hmm. I agree that does seem weird.

Unfortunately most of the ones you tried aren't in the top 8 (Penang is a state not a city; had you instead gone with its major city George Town you would have gotten it).

However Kuching absolutely should be on the list, at least as I read the table in the cited source: https://www.citypopulation.de/en/malaysia/cities/. For some reason the list of accepted answers (which only seems to have 7 cities in it??) in this quiz doesn't match the table on that website. Not sure what I'm missing either.

Level 64

Aug 22, 2021

Delhi isnt the capital of India so why doesnt it work

Level 60

Aug 25, 2021

It is...

Level 81

Dec 10, 2021

It's a weird one. You're technically right but unfortunately ran into a practical issue.

Technically, yes. The capital of India is New Delhi and not Delhi, so absolutely Delhi should have worked.

However at least on this website, "Delhi" is pretty universally accepted as an acceptable type-in for the Indian capital (even if it's technically wrong) and so de-facto is considered (by JetPunk users) to be the capital.

For what it's worth, I agree with you. :-)

Level 72

Mar 7, 2022

Also, isn't New Delhi included in Delhi?

Level 92

Apr 13, 2023

Pretty sure anyone that knows this can come up with Mumbai or Kolkata anyway.

Level 60

Aug 25, 2021

Should there be a caveat mentioning the lack of San Marino, Monaco, and Vatican City?

Level 75

Aug 26, 2021

San Marino is included in the quiz. Vatican City, Monaco, and Singapore are not included because the entire country is within the city limits of the capital. Therefore there shouldn't be anything you are trying to type for one of those, meaning a caveat is not necessary, especially because there are already so many.

Level 72

Mar 7, 2022

Still think there should be a caveat so people don't spend time thinking about whether subdivisions are included in the quiz, most especially since I don't really understand how San Marino could be included at not the other two.

Level 60

Jul 26, 2023

It's because San Marino has multiple cities unlike Singapore, Monaco, and Vatican City. I do agree that it should be mentioned for clarity, though. Not everyone knows they are city-states.

Level 34

Aug 25, 2021

No Punta Arenas, Chile?

Level 81

Dec 10, 2021

Punta Arenas is nowhere close to the top 8 (or 9). According to the source used by the quiz, it comes in around #20: https://www.citypopulation.de/en/chile/cities/

Level 74

Aug 26, 2021

The largest city in Kiribati is wrongly written. It's Betio instead of Beito.

Level 75

Aug 26, 2021

Fixed

Level 65

Sep 29, 2021

Bogota is listed as an answer, even though it is the capital

+13

Level 40

Oct 1, 2021

I love how Fiji is in the top 15 because of Ba

Level 76

Oct 1, 2021

how come so many people got liechtenstein? none of those cities seem at all well-known to me, compared to the other countries getting similar percentages

+13

Level 74

Oct 23, 2021

Type-in magic. When you type Shanghai you get Schaan...

Level 44

Oct 28, 2021

accept timbuktu for mali?

Level 81

Dec 10, 2021

Timbuktu misses out on being in the top 8 non-capital cities by about 30,000 people: https://www.citypopulation.de/en/mali/cities/

Level 33

Dec 5, 2021

Nice quiz!

Just a thing to say. In Uruguay it is not "Salta", it's "Salto". Salta is a city in Argentina!

Level 75

Dec 17, 2021

Fixed, thanks. I always mix those two up.

Level 44

Dec 8, 2021

Fun. I obviously have a lot of studying to do.

Would love to see Rick Steves' score.

Level 39

Dec 10, 2021

I got 193/193!!!!!!

Level 75

Dec 17, 2021

Congrats! That's pretty difficult

Level 35

Mar 5, 2022

wow

Level 19

Mar 5, 2022

For all we know you probably googled the answers

Level 60

Mar 1, 2024

If we're going to be skeptic, they could have just said it without doing it. Might as well give them the benefit of the doubt :)

Level 52

Dec 10, 2021

Great quiz. Surprised Mendoza doesn't make the cut for Argentina, but other than that, I guess I really do only know a single city for about 100 countries.

Level 59

Dec 19, 2021

Really surprised to see Montenegro and Liechtenstein with such high percentages. Though for Montenegro it could be because of Bar.

Also surprised that all the countries have at least 1%. Or perhaps answer stats defaults to 1% for those questions that no one got correct 🤔?

Level 65

Dec 13, 2022

It is because of Bar! Prob bc of Baranquilla.

Level 65

Dec 14, 2022

and Barcelona

Level 60

Mar 1, 2024

LIechtenstein is because of Schaan from Shanghai.

Why isn't Hafnarfjördur an option for Iceland? Also, Pakse should be an acceptable type-in for Pakxe, Laos.

Anyone who can spell "Szekesfehervar" deserves extra points I think.

Bit of a weird one here: should Nuuk be accepted?

Obviously it is the capital of Greenland, but for this quiz Greenland is not a country - Greenland is part of Denmark so Nuuk is not a capital city.

Depends on if Nuuk is a city - just read Wikipedia call it a "small city"

Might actually be the only other city in Denmark that comes to mind...

Norway is just simply wrong. You have used municipalities even tho Norway has cities.

The largest cities in Norway are (Oslo excluded)

Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim, Fredrikstad, Drammen, Kristiansand, Tromssa and Sandnes

Lillestroms population is just 14 379 as Tromssa for example has populaiton of 55 057

Asken is a district and a former municipality

Bærum is a municipality also.

Regarding the information on Chile.. Puente Alto, Maipú, La Florida and Las Condes are just municipalities within the capital (santiago)... Also San Bernardino is in the US not Chile (I think you meant San Bernardo ehich is also a municipality within Santiago)... instead you could use Iquique, Rancagua, Talca, Chillan, Concepción, Temuco, Puerto Montt, etc

When I don't feel like thinking too much, I like world geography quizzes with a lot of answers.

I'm fully aware it doesn't make me cleverer or more educated but I find it satisfying when answers (usually short ones) get accepted for what I was not even trying to guess.

Just like in first subdivisions of countries quizzes, when I successively type cardinal points, "center", capital cities, some random Subsaharian Africa-sounding or zhou/dong-suffixed chinese syllables, to check how many I get in total.

Quebec might not technically be among the eight largest cities proper in Canada, but given it's historical and national significance, as well as how famous it is, it should clearly be accepted as an answer. It is one of the most famous and iconic Canadian cities, and has been since before Canada became a country in it's own right. Some of those cities on this list are closer to being part of the greater Toronto metropolitan area, while the greater Quebec City region ranks, I believe, as one of the eight largest metropolitan areas in Canada.
