Bogota is at 2640 meters...how is that "about 1000 meters"??

So sorry for the mistake. It was supposed to be ABOVE 1000 meters.

In fact, I chose cities that were clearly above or below so there would be none which were ABOUT 1000 meters.

I missed Denver because I was thinking of the height in yards, 1760, and that was less than 3280.

Interesting how Vladivostok is the least guessed answer overall when it is the second southernmost city for that question (the first being Hobart, obviously), and about the same latitude as Florence, Italy. I guess people assume that anything in Russia is far north, but that's not really the case. You can even find palm trees in Sochi!

Similar with Canada, it's pretty far south, Montreal being at Venice latitude.

Yeah...but it's very russian sounding. I don't know my russian cities...it sounded cold. I guessed yes.

I knew where it was in Russia, but I didn't know how much 60°N was.

Would've been perfect if I could tell the difference between Africa and Asia.

I always see questions about the Olympics and do poorly on them. Do people memorise Olympic cities or something? Honestly, I don't think I've ever watched it.

I'm so glad to see someone else say it. Do people study the history of the Olympics? They hardly feel like geography questions if I'm honest.

Only missed Ulaanbaatar. All the other questions had 5 selected, and I thought that question would also have 5 selected, and I knew it is really cold there, so I went for it.

Tel Aviv is an interesting one. Although the city was officially founded in the early 1900s, the municipality annexed the ancient port of Jaffa in 1950 and was formally renamed Tel Aviv-Jaffa (Tel Aviv-Yafo in Hebrew).

I got it right but do understand that the quiz would have a different answer if the city in question was Jaffa, not Tel-Aviv. Once the apartheid regime falls and the name of the city is changed back to Jaffa, this quiz may need to be edited.
