Calculating Germany's third city could produce a few different answers, depending on whether you treat the Ruhrgebiet (the multi-city Ruhr Valley area), and the Köln/Düsseldorf urban area as single "cities" or not. We have not, hence Hamburg.

Why isn't Hamburg the *2nd* largest city in Germany? Wikipedia says it is.

By some measures it is! Populations have been calculated for this quiz by urban area; using the city-administrative-boundary method you'll have seen in Wikipedia, the third ranked city is Munich.

Yes, but I was pretty confused when Venezuela didn't work at first. Of course, I then tried Spain and tried Venezuela again. I wonder if there's any way to make both work for either spot.

Hamburg is 2nd largest city in Germany and Rome is first or second after Milan, its debatable, but definitely not third.
