Interesting how closely this correlates with the general technological advancement of each continent and country.

It's a good quiz, but it could definetely use an update. Malaysia and Egypt have since built taller buildings.

Super quiz. It's mad that Taipei 101 isn't even in the top 4 in its own continent any more.

How is CN Tower not on here for Canada? Total height is taller than USA' s tallest and top floor is at almost 1500 feet.

Level 66

This quiz only includes structures with continuously occupiable floors. If other structures were included, the USA would have had multiple masts that are taller than CN tower

But you are right that it may be a bit confusing. So I will add some explanation to the introduction, so thanks for the comment!

...which also happens to house Turkey's largest city as well as it's tallest building.

Nice quiz, but perhaps a bit misleading, bcz it just takes into account the tallest building in each country and leaves the rest, even though they might be taller than the tallest building in the other countries in the list. A clear example of that is Oceania, which has very cute numbers at 4 and 5. Obviously, I am also aware that if all the tallest buildings in each country were counted then countries like China and US will be listed multiple times, but then it would be more accurate to the title of this quiz.
