First of all, the clue bar says "county" instead of "country". Secondly, since we are talking about "other cities" in the second bar, Genoa should be accepted for Turin. I'd make a case Varna should be accepted for Sofia, and Eilat for Haifa.

Genoa doesn't have 1.64m people. If you wanted to make it clearer, you could maybe state that the "Other Cities" must be the largest 5-letter city in their country (excluding ones that have already appeared on the quiz). Don't know if that's currently true for all of them, but it should be true for most.

This is kinda weird, with the whole "you are invited to name some smaller cities too" thing. If there are cities in those countries with 5-letters and more populous (for example Piura in Peru is more populous than Cuzco) it is odd that you've decided that the other should be there because... whatever your criteria were. In Peru Piura is much more talked about than Cuzco since it's a major port, it's the major city that's closest to Ecuador, it has heat and flooding issues, it has well-known universities, it is on the Panamericana and easily reachable from other cities... Cuzco is just tourists.

I completely agree. I guess they just wanted to include a greater variety of countries and well-known cities that are recognised all around the world but I would have definitely preferred them to stick to the top 20-25 since the quiz is meant to be testing the largest cities (it also doesn't help that two of the three I missed were from the 'other cities' list)

I think outside of Peru Cuzco is much more famous for being the capital of the Incas. I’ve never heard of that port you mentioned.
