50% was more than I was expecting to get on this one. I also got the three smallest so I feel good about that lol

Really happy to see this series get another quiz. With so few countries to work with, you picked a nice spread.

Glad you liked it! I do indeed try to spread out the cities, although sometimes the most populated cities are just very close together lol.

Asia is probably up next!

Nice quiz, but city proper often makes it extremely confusing when big, known citys don't show up, but it's suburbs do

Could you give me an example? Reminder that a lot of cities are skipped, the point is just that it's decreasing in population.

The one that confused me was Resistencia because it's so close to Corrientes, a larger city.
