The one about cities ending in W is a great question. Suddenly have to think about cities in a new way. Tricky, but not impossible.

I agree, good question, I got 3 but didn't think of Moscow, so obvious once you know.

I disagree. Questions about spelling are trivial and based on arbitrary distinctions. And yes, I know it's a trivia site, but having knowledge of geography and understanding of the world is useful; knowing what cities share a common ending letter is not. And the distinction is arbitrary when you consider that 3/4 of them come from cities that pronounce letters differently than the English "w."

The difference between a quiz and an exam is that quizzes are fun to do, yes there isn't much real life use in knowing the 4 biggest cities ending in W but it's a fun question.

I didn't think it was particularly fun. It felt like the only way to solve it was to go through every European city.

I only got Warsaw out of the cities that end in W... because I read it 'cities that start with W'. That sort of thing happens when you really need sleep but decide to come to JetPunk instead.

Missed Glasgow too, but was convinced Britanny was correct; I never realised until the answers were revealed it has two Ts and one N!

I love how some sources are set on Mount Elbrus as the tallest mountain in Europe yet others say it's Mount Blanc which I got taught in school. Very marginal.

we learned that in English speaking countries Mount Elbrus is usually considered to be the highest peak while in many others, my country (Czech Republic) included, we tend to think of Mont Blanc as the tallest mountain. But on this site it is always Elbrus..

I was also taught Mont Blanc. (Make sense, since I am from Czechia too). But Elbrus is most definitely the correct answer. I guess growing up in the former eastern bloc in the 90's, the social climate wasn't too keen on recognising Russia as part of Europe.

I don't think anyone is arguing that Elbrus isn't taller than Mont Blanc - the question is whether or not Elbrus is in Europe, and reasonable people can disagree on that one. I also got taught Mont Blanc, but, being French, I can also understand why, and that it's not necessarily the only correct answer...

Realised 'Suomi' was one of the Scandinavian countries with 10 seconds left, typed as fast as I could and managed to guess the first two and get halfway through the last one... which of course turned out to be the right answer. Darn you Jetpunk!

Whenever I see "What does ____ have to do with geography?" it usually looks like code for "I have no sense of culture."

Cool quiz ! I fidnt get glasgow and basel, felt pretty silly not thinking of glasgow. But oddly i wasnt the only one, at all...! I wonder why people failed to think of it. Maybe focussing on eastern europe?

Yeah, I missed Glasgow as well. I thought: "the other three are from eastern Europe, so the fourth is probably some tiny place in Poland I never heard of." Given the percentage, I can't be the only one.

Fun quiz! Must say I was a bit disappointed that I tried Ski and it wasn't accepted. Didn't think I'd have to write Skiing so I thought maybe I just don't know what makes those cities famous.

Why? The Aegean is considered its own sea, not just a part of the Mediterranean

Strictly speaking Salzburg was not part of Austria when Mozart was born; it only became Austrian in 1805, after his death. I only know this from that old chestnut "The genius of the Austrians is shown by the fact that they have convinced the world that Mozart was an Austrian and that Hitler was German."

I'm not calling for a change, just passing on some trivia.

It's usually "that Beethoven was Austrian and Hitler German", because Beethoven was very German.
