Finished after stopping the timer for about 10 seconds, but Porto is a possibility that is not accepted so the quiz maker might want to amend this

Porto is not valid. As the rules say, the cities are in three parts, never two. In addition, Porto is not large enough (caveat 2).

I was so sure Nagasaki was correct. Unfortunately, the closest the parts get is Nagaski and it's also not populous enough.

That was fun. I managed to figure out that "bad" city after getting all the others, but otherwise I never would've gotten it!

Wouldn't there need to be just one person who does know all of those cities to invalidate your argument?
