Clever misdirect on Novosibirsk for those of us who didn't know the answer, but assumed that something so specific is likely true or it wouldn't be a question.

I think many of the people who get the last question wrong probably just really really want it to be true. That's certainly what happened to me!

The huskies tripped me up too. On one hand it sounded like the sort of stereotypical nonsense you hear about Australia (kids ride kangaroos to school or something like that), but on the other it seemed whacky and specific enough that in one specific city, someone might have decided to do it.

I am Russian and I died laughing at the last question. Whoever did this quiz - well done. Even I started doubting my answer at first because it was worded so specifically

Novosibirsk is a boring grey city, with very little interesting to see. There are some much nicer places in Siberia, like Tomsk, Kemerovo, Barnaul, Irkutsk…

I thought it went St Petersburg -> Leningrad after world war 1 right? Since St. Petersburg sounded too German
