Fun quiz! Even with 12 minutes I still ran out of time with two columns of African countries yet. A lot of the smaller countries are extremely hard. Also, I think the capital of St. Kitts & Nevis is Basseterre, not Brasseterre (as if I actually thought of it while taking the quiz).

You misspelled Basseterre. And have gotten Solomon Islands all wrong, Mogadishu is not located there. Chongqing is bigger than Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur is bigger than Subang Jaya, and Johannesburg is bigger than Cape Town. Please accept the variants Havanna, Guatemala (without city), Addis Abeba, Rangoon (for Yangon), Bombay, São Paolo.

Dogana is the biggest city in San Marino. Yaren is not the biggest city in Nauru. Johannesburg is bigger than Cape Town. Kuala Lumpur is largest in Malaysia. Guangzhou is the biggest metro area in China, not Chongqing, but Shanghai is the biggest city. Khartoum is the biggest city in Sudan.

Koror is. Melekeok is... tiny. It's the capital of Palau but it's definitely not large.

Some of these are very weird. I'd appreciate some indication of source, or how city populations are being calculated. I can assure you that the largest city in South Africa is Johannesburg and not Cape Town. Subang Jaya is the 5th largest city in Malaysia according to Wikipedia.

I like this quiz as the other quiz on this site is about the biggest metro area and this seems to be city proper but some of them are pretty weird, like others have said. South Africa, Bolivia, Sudan, Taiwan, Philippines, maybe others

Fun quiz, though it needs some changes. The description should include the definition of "city" along with the source(s) and when the data was taken, otherwise the Guangzhou metropolitan area is larger than Shanghai. Some cities have been overtaken: Malta's St. Paul's Bay has a higher population than Birkirkara, Marshall Islands' Majuro has a higher population than Rita, Brunei's Bandar Seri Begawan has a higher population than Kampong Ayer and Solomon Islands' largest city is Honiara as Mogadishu lies in Somalia. Some countries have changed their names: Burma -› Myanmar, Macedonia -› North Macedonia, Swaziland -› Eswatini and Côte d'Ivoire (missing the accent on the ô) isn't the standard name on JetPunk as Ivory Coast is more common. "Belize" for "Belize City" should also be an acceptable type-in. The outline of the Oceania header should be edited. The quiz also needs a lot more time than the 12 minutes it currently has. I'd love to see this quiz getting featured once it gets updated!
