I really want to change the actual name for St. Petersburg and Kolkata to their 1950 names Leningrad and Calcutta, respectively, but that would reset the stats...sorry. They're accepted as type-ins though

Nice quiz Dodoma! And no, I think 100 answers is just fine. Also, can you accept Antwerp or just change it to the correct English spelling?

Why does the map not show the Great Lakes in U.S./Canada but it shows the other lakes?

Pandora, recently you've had a knack of creating too many amazing quizzes! 90/100, nominated for sure. The more we get into the future, the more population will be centered around Africa and Asia.

This quiz is really good for accepting a lot of the contemporary forms in use in 1950 but yes it should allow Leningrad (and Peking).
