For the South African cities I think you need to define what you see as a city. Soshanguve is a township but is part of Pretoria and has been since at least 1994. Yet Soweto, which is a township of Johannesburg and has about 3 million residents, does not make the list. Same issue with Evaton, and most of the cities that form up the Ekurhuleni metro exceed 500 000 residents yet neither they nor Ekurhuleni make the list. If a South Africa cannot get 7 out of 7 what chance do other nationalities have?
In this quiz we are going by the "urban area" definitions as per citypopulation.de. I agree that the definitions are a bit dubious for cities in Gauteng as they follow urban area limits as opposed to administrative borders, but this is more in line with common JetPunk standards for urban areas/cities.
I understand your logic but this means that the South African cities >500k is just a bad quiz because nobody is getting those last two due to the choices made by citypopulation.de
Isn't usually Puncak Jaya usually considered to be the highest peak of Oceania? I guess you consider West Papua as part of Asia, doesn't really make sense to me since it is the same island...
Being Welsh, I love that coincidentally the very first category that came up on here for me is 'Cities of Wales'! Yay, my specialist knowledge helped me get full marks :D
Port Elizabeth changed its name to Gqeberha in 2021. Port Elizabeth should definitely be a type-in alternative but Gqeberha should be the primary answer
I mean technically, but from what I hear, PE is much much more commonly used in South Africa. Not only is it much quicker to say, but it’s a holdover (for better or worse) and not everyone speaks Xhosa, so the clicks aren’t as “accessible”
Carstensz Pyramid, also known as Puncak Jaya is generally regarded as one of the 7 summits. It is in Indonesia, but I think should take the place of Mt. Wilhelm.
I’d disagree. Continents are pretty fuzzy but Indonesia’s always grouped into Asia and PNG is seen as Oceania on Jetpunk quizzes. I understand where you’re coming from b/c New Guinea is shared, but it goes against most of the “boundaries”/standards other quizzes follow.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong; that’s how we learn :)
mountain heights are a physical phenomenon so we should go according to physical geography not human-made borders. For political topics sure all of indonesia can be asia but for physical it makes more sense to view the whole island as part of the same continent
mt wilhelm is not the highest peak in oceania, it is puncak jaya. They are on the same island, so how could that be different continents. All of New Guinea is usually considered part of oceania not just the independent half
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong; that’s how we learn :)
