You are correct, but being A for an answer I'd bet everyone tries Amsterdam before Rotterdam.

I thought it was Antwerp at first, based on its location, but for sure, as soon as that didn't work, I reached for Amsterdam.

Åland threw me off, since the letter Å is not the same as A in Scandinavia...

Amsterdam is like 150 kilometers of. The dot is nearer to Antwerp. When that wasnt it. I was trying to think of placenames staeting with an a in the Zealand province (couldnt think of one) never in a million years would I have thought typing Amsterdam. I know it starts with an "a" and is in the netherlands, but that's about it. For people that do not know where it is located that is enough. But if you do know where it is. You exclude it immediately. It would be like asking for new york and the dot beung at los angeles. Ny would cross your mind and you d think about places starting with "n" near the dot.

the "Å" in Åland is not an A.

Å is it's own letter, just like Ø, Æ, Ð, Þ, etc.

Well, no one's going to take the time to put in that letter from somewhere else, so it's just replaced with a normal A for time's sake.

Others have said it too, but leniency on "Arkhangelsk" would be nice.

I wonder if there could be a bit more highlighting of the Aegean and Adriatic? I was puzzling over what I was supposed to be guessing and gave up in the end :-/
