Loved this quiz. Surprisingly difficult! I daresay strictly speaking London ought to appear in both the eastern and western hemispheres, although that might make it a bit less interesting eh...

Paris should be on here. It's bigger than most of the cities in the 'western' section. It should be #7 or 8 depending on which version of the metropolitan area you use. But very embarrassing omission.

The 5th biggest city in the world by urban area is Delhi, not New Delhi (New Delhi is only a Delhi's district)

I was sitting with two minutes left, scanning through the US and Brazil, trying to work out what I had forgotten. Even considered West Africa, but for some reason Southwestern Europe didn't even cross my mind.
