I don't watch football, and I only got it right because I recognized it as either Catalan or Romanian and guessed major cities that spoke those languages.

Would have sailed easily to 100% but you had to throw in a sports one... had no idea where Camp Nou is but got it after a few minutes of randomly guessing famous sports cities.

Well, it is an important part of culture :)

Depends on how you define culture.

So how would you define culture? I think any reasonable definition includes sports. More people (and time) are occupied by it than literature, art, and other things that are generally considered part of culture.
+6

Some define culture in a way that it only includes things like fine art, music, and literature. Others, mostly anthropologists, define culture so broadly that it includes literally everything that human beings do. If you're defining it the first way, then sports are generally not included as they are considered "low culture" or "pop culture" by most of these types.

I tend to prefer the definition favored by anthropologists myself. But if I was going to be a snob and disallow some human endeavors from being labeled as "culture," personal prejudice would lead me to excluding sports right after reality television.

What an awful narrow-minded take, sports are culture - you clearly haven't visited Barcelona or you would know!

Mar 2, 2021
If you tend to prefer the definition favo(u)red by anthropologists, then you are accepting the inclusion of major world sports. Otherwise, you would be a snob, as you put it, and you are not, as you assert by including the sentence "But if I was (sic) to be a snob...etc".

How about allowing Rhodos for Rhodes?
+1
Level 44
Mar 11, 2016
No, because it should be Rodos (no H). Rhodos is a goddess.

Rhódos (with an "h") is the latinized version of the ancient greek word for the island. Rodos is modern greek.

My only complaint is that Malmo/Copenhagen has more water separating them than Detroit/Windsor. But I sure did learn a lot by pulling up maps and locating all the places named in the ones that I missed.

I've only ever heard her called Queen Elizabeth I. I think the retrospective thing might be an American thing.

I would suggest Punjabi be accepted too. Hindi is the most commonly spoken language in India and Punjabi is in Pakistan.

Gosh you are right @beekash, I didn't realise this: not only should Punjabi be accepted as an answer, actually it is the right answer, the best answer to the question. Hindi has the most native speakers in India, Punjabi the most in Pakistan.

Hindi can be said as lingua franca of India and for Pakistan, it is Urdu.

St. Paul is the twin city to Minneapolis, as they are both major cities in the same urban area, just how Dallas and Fort Worth both make up the Metroplex.
