Five Biggest Cities by Country - Extreme

Should accept "Tucuman" for San Miguel de Tucumán

Some countries which could be added: Netherlands, Greece, Ireland, Israel, other Nordic countries, etc.

In Germany, you're missing the Ruhr Area, which is (according to your source) the biggest urban agglomeration of the country.

Nitpicking aside, this is a great quiz :) Goes beyond the usual range of countries and also visually pleasing

Accept Gqeberha for Port Elizabeth pls

What a great quiz! I've been working on learning cities, and this is super helpful. Thanks for making it!

Dang, the average is 130?!?! You all are smart people! I even thought I did pretty decent, but no! Only had 82!

China should be Chongqing (31 m), Shanghai (24 m), Beijing (21 m), Chengdu (20 m) and Guangzhou (18 m). Xiamen is a rather small city with six million inhabitants.

Fun quiz! You should add Algeria

Good quiz. I like these kinds of long quizzes where I can put my obscure knowledge to use:)

I was a little skeptical of the Filipino data, which didn't match what I previously thought, as well as data from sources I looked into.

Rousse could be accepted for Ruse no?

163/200, over 80% of them, it'll do me.

great quiz but m*tro areas are the worst invention in all of humanity

I would recommend not having both Brazil and Portugal since Porto Alegre and Porto overlap. Although I would guess most people who know Porto Alegre know Porto.

isn't quezon city the biggest city in the Philippines?

Not that it's that huge a deal, but in case this quiz gets some edits in the near future, the Syrian flag should be updated as well. Nice quiz to feature regardless!

Fantastic quiz, very challenging time constraints too, I think I wasted a bit too much time trying to do the first few country-by-country instead of just boxing off all the ones I knew immediately and then working on stragglers. Got 172/222; think I could've gotten that up to the 4-point boundary with better use of my time, some glaring omissions on my part from rushing towards the end (I got Coimbra and Kaohsiung but missed Gdansk and Innsbruck lol)

What's the source for Xiamen being the 5th major urban area in china?

As of today Feb.4th.2025 you mention citypopulation.de (which has different data) and wikipedia (which has different data - Xiamen is not even mentioned in the top 20 urban areas). And yes, I looked for urban areas, not city proper.

Honestly, it's pretty frustrating having to go through tenths of city names, since china has so many eligible cities, only because the definition is so loose, at least I hope this is the reason.

It is truly mind-blowing how much we still need to explain to people what an urban area is.

20 days later, increased my score by 10, didn't miss any that I got last time either so that's good progress. Still a couple here I should be remembering (Lausanne, Dnipro, and Stavanger spring to mind) but a lot of the others are just unknowns that I need to learn haha

I got Cần Thơ because I had a map on the ceiling above my bed as a teen and I remembered seeing it there.... but I missed Chicago

you need to double the time, i couldnt get to 14 of them because of time

How is Xiamen #5, I looked at Wikipedia and the source you mentioned and it’s urban/metro area isn’t even close to some other cities that weren’t on the list. Did you merge the two populations on accident? Please give me a better source so I can confirm that Xiamen is the fifth most populated urban area city in China.

houston is the 3rd biggest us city

You should add "Taizhong" as a spelling for Taichung. For those of us that know the name in Chinese, that is the most direct Latinized spelling (while you're at it add "Taibei" for Taipei).

Also, I agree with the other commenters, you are using a very odd definition of metro area for Xiamen to end up anywhere in the top 10 Chinese cities, let alone top 5. It's a pretty small city by Chinese standards. Honestly not even in the top 20 by most definitions of metro area. What list are you using?

How did you put the flags on the quiz; it didn't work when i made a quiz with countries in it :(

Challenging quiz. I feel like a nice round 20 minutes would be better than 18, but perhaps that's part of the difficulty. Also, would you consider accepting "Antofogasta" for "Antofagasta"?

Why is "Novgorod" not accepted for "Nizhny Novgorod"? I think it works for almost all quizzes on Jetpunk.
