Is something wrong with the type-ins? I had dots for Moscow, Mexico City, Guangzhou and so on, but was supposed to type in Berlin, Dallas and Beijing at the beginning

When I finished the quiz and hovered over the dots to see the answers, what came up were all wrong! The quiz itself is otherwise an excellent idea.

Fun quiz, but a bunch of problems. Most of all, no Istanbul. It's either Europe or Asia (I've vote for Asia, since the majority of the city is there). Second, Honolulu is part of the US and therefore North America. And some of the rankings are off (or outdated).

Hawaii is in Oceania... The Logic you use to defend your claim is like saying Siberia is European because it's part of Russia.

Hawaii is a part of Oceania because it is 2000 Miles away from North America, Hawaii is Culturally Polynesian, and due to it's overall position in the Pacific.
