100 Cities by Letter - Q

Based on original quiz series by Aaron197. Be sure to give errors which may occur due to the transliteration between native languages and English and also bigger cities which I missed because of Claude being stupid. Also if the question analytics aren't there that is completely my fault because of the repeated editing. Shoutout to Vulpix for giving a spreadsheet with names of some of the answers.

Hi,

although I was originalIy making the series, I of course have no monopoly on the quizzes Aaron didn't make. I do have to say however, that you are deviating quite a bit from the original quizzes: I saw your yt comment and you should definitely make it more facts based because atp this is just a "100-Q-riddles-that-happen-to-be-cities-quiz". I had already made a list (by hand) of 100 Q cities that I regard a bit more getable as I wasn't aware of you making these quizzes too (and I also saw others already starting aswell) and had already begun, so if you'd like I can send you that one and then you can perhaps update the quiz before Jake plays it.

And are you also planning on making X and W (I already have a list of X as well you could then use), the last remaining letters? I'm perfectly happy if you do since I don't find writing the clues super interesting, but at least then I know I don't have to waste time on it.

The deviation occurred because of the lack of cities that start with Q. The Y quiz on the other hand is much more of the original type

I get that, but I just wanted to tell you that you should give every city their own rightfull hint, no matter how obscure they are. I would like to say that these quizzes test your knowledge and these letters are naturally obscure, so they don't need to be converted to a riddle-type quiz to make them more balanced
