Good quiz, as always. Why does St Petersburg look like it's positioned Helsinki?

Confused about Cologne/Dusseldorf. They are different cities, no? About 40KM apart. Dusseldorf has just over 600,000 and Cologne has just over 1 million.

It's confusing how Madrid is considered to have over 6M, while the question is about the biggest cities.

The city of Madrid has a population of around 3.5M, while the Community of Madrid has over 6M people (maybe even 7M, not sure). However, the Community of Madrid compiles the whole province of Madrid, with all 179 municipalities.

Sorry bro, but I don't think you should trust your source. Barcelona for example doesn't even have 2 Mio. inhabitants, but you consider it bigger then Berlin, with around 3.7 Mio. inhabitants. Same with Cologne/Düsseldorf, which are two completely different cities, that have no geographic connection whatsoever. Cologne btw. has only around 1 Mio, while Düsseldorf is at around 500.000 people.

You're mistake stems from confusing different metrics. There is difference (for example in context of Paris) between the so-called 'agglomeration', 'metropolitan area' and the actual inhabitants of the city. While in LA, for example you can't really feel the difference between leaving LA and being in LA, in european cities like Berlin and Paris, the difference is very visible. 'Potsdam' for example, would by American standards probably be considered a suburb of Berlin, while in reality it's the capital of a different state.
