This is excellent. Even when I knew what cities I was missing, I had to figure out where the city would be.

I'm glad to see that (at least currently) no one has clicked on a square with open ocean! ;)

It's not on the Australia tile which is incorrect. If you look at the Jakarta tile next to it, Jakarta is quite far inwards of the edge.

Ethiopia is still super rural, spread across the highlands. It probably will be one in a few more years.

Very happy with 100%, but it took me 2:23 to click on 18 boxes, I had to really think about a lot of them, I'm a bit surprised I actually managed to get them all without falling for any of the traps

This was a good one, looks like I'm not the only one disappointed in Ethiopia for not having more people. For shame.

Yeah, I think London on the boundary means it's a guess whether the box on the top row is a correct answer or not. I guessed wrong :(

According to which source has Bogota over 10m people? It seems very messed up. Other than that a great quiz!

I got 14/18 before trying Dakar. The ones I missed were Bogotá, Lima, London, and Los Angeles. I was consistently underestimating the size of many metropolitan areas.
