Trying to type "France" gives you the point for "Franc" first.

May I suggest to avoid things like this to happen in this kind of quizzes? Especially since in this case we have quiz #1 and quiz #2, so you can easily swap one of the two group and avoid every type-in related problem!

Good quiz. Bloody tough though. Could do with more time as quite a lot of the answers require a bit of thinking about. Two of the answers for cities with most Jewish people would never have occurred to me.

According to Wikipedia, there are several cities with more Jews than Haifa and Miami

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_urban_areas_by_Jewish_population

There needs to be some explanation of why there is such a big discrepancy or a link to their source since Wikipedia is generally considered the go to source for most quizzes.

The Wikipedia page is not consistent. For example, the number listed for San Francisco is the entire Bay Area. So they are using urban area, not city proper population. In that case, Haifa would have to be much more than 200,000. Somewhere near 900,000 would be accurate.

I mean, it can be argued that it's in both, but you definitely can't say it's not in Asia

As far as I know the Caucasus are considered to be the border between Europe and Asia, which means some of Georgia is in Europe, but Tblisi is in Asia.

Correct me if I'm wrong though

Georgia is in the United States, so it really should be North America.

I was wondering about that too. Surely it's the biggest Mediterranean city of them all?

So did I. The all-knowing Wiki says:

"The International Hydrographic Organization defines the limits of the Mediterranean Sea as follows: Stretching from the Strait of Gibraltar in the west to the entrances to the Dardanelles..."

I think the important word there is "entrances" - Istanbul is, from that point of view, at the exit. Although to my mind it seems strange to exclude the sea of Marmara from the Mediterranean - it seems more obvious to my tiny mind to have Istanbul as the point where the Mediterranean and Black seas meet. But what do I know!

How is Rome within 10km of the Med? Measuring on Google Maps from the Ring Road is ~15km. Source please.

Istanbul is the biggest Mediterranean sea, even if it's connected to it via the Aegean and Marmara sea. It's still a Mediterranean city

Yup. London and New York are also connected to it via Atlantic, so they should count.

Izmir does seem to have a population of 4.3M, and is in the Mediterranean. Actually it is in the Aegean Sea, which is part of the Mediterranean, but then so is Athens. Sorry QM, this doesn't make sense.
