The first five are pretty obvious, but I think you should give the continent as a clue for Auckland as well.

But there are only a handful of big cities in Oceania.

True, but five out of nine cities with the given continent are quite easy to guess even without the hint, while Auckland skyline is not so recognisable without a little help...

It has the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere.

Anyone who's been there would get it instantly, plus there's only a handful of cities with towers like that.

Well I might be the exception that makes your rule then. No memory of the skyline of this city.

I dont think continents should be given, if you even cont know which continent it is, you definitely dont know which city it is.

Well Brasilia was certainly a struggle. From the look of Brasilia and from visits to Canberra, I feel like planned capitals tend to be a tad soulless.

In my opinion, that is the opposite. My country's capital Islamabad is also one of those planned capital cities. These type of cities are the best. While others are also great, these ones stand out. Others include Washington DC, Belmopan, Naypyidaw (gosh, i have trouble spelling it) and Abuja.

Brasilia is a notoriously unwalkable national capital. It was meant to be futuristic and it accurately predicted American standalone chain store sprawl. Horrible.

I'm trying to work out what in the picture could have indicated Brasilia specifically. Is it the football pitches?

Those white towers are the Capital building, which is pretty distinctive if you happen to know of it.

But... Brasilia is shaped like an airplane! How could you call a city soulless when it's shaped like an airplane?

Why do we lump the Americas together? They're two separate continents. If you get technical, Europe and Asia are the same one so why not lump those together too?

To make the quiz just a little bit more taxing. That's all

In many countries around the world, they do lump North and South America into one continent. There is no one established way of defining a continent (some countries also include Europe in Asia).

Is it possible to accept “Pyeongyang” also, which is the revised romanisation?

Way too little time imo. People not getting luxor is good indicator, all those skylines with big skyscrapers look rather similar (so understandable if people dont get some), but luxor is very distinct. So most of the people not getting it, just didnt reach that one.

Why start giving continent hints partway through?

The Cape Town pic was weird. It's really about identifying the landforms around the city rather than the city itself, which is almost impossible to discern. It's not like it's not one of the world's most easily-identifiable cities.

While I agree the continent clue made it very easy.

I thought Doha was also easy even though I didn't recognise it because of the construction on the water in an arid climate.

Mexico was the hardest for me but still guessable.

This quiz seems unfinished, why give hints for only some of them? Doesn’t make any sense
