This one is a pretty difficult quiz, even for Mexicans. We tend to think about the metros, but is really rare that we think in cities proper. Luckily (for me) I have relatives living in some of the municipios that form the metros, so I just thought about them.

They (I) just looked at the answers without filling any in because they (I) had no chance of guessing more than 2 or 3

You have to answer at least one correctly to be counted in statistics.

So much for never learning to spell Nezahualcóyotl.

Mexico City could be subdivided into its 16 "alcaldías", as the cities mentioned are municipalities of the states that comprehend all México (country)

No. The quiz is already hard enough and no one thinks this way. For the same reason, we don't divide London into its boroughs either.

Would suggest not accepting it.

No one, and I seriously mean no one, calls Ecatepec by its full name. It's just "Ecatepec" (or "Ecatepunk").

It's like accepting "Aldama" for "León" (full name: "León de los Aldama"). No one says "Aldama" when pointing out León.

Furthermore, Morelos is a state that happens it be immediately south of Mexico City. If you say "Morelos" as a place, basically everyone will infer the state.

However, I would suggest (and I believe it's the second quiz I do) accepting "San Luis" and/or "SLP" for San Luis Potosí. Many people drop the last word when talking, and write the initials instead of the full name.
