Sorry to ask but why is Karaj in Iran not on here, it has a population of 1.8 million , is it part of a larger urban area
+2
Level 58

If you see on citypopulation.de, Karaj is incorporated into the Tehran urban area agglomeration, so even if Karaj has 1.8M people, it still wouldn't be an answer since it is incorporated into Tehran.

I can see that quite a few updates are needed despite the multiple reset, including just now.

Allahabad was renamed to Prayagraj 5 years ago so about time you change that,

And the new spelling for the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv to be used instead of Kiev

Aurangabad was also renamed - which to be completely honest seems a bit stupid and all but still it is the official renaming so suggest that be applied

Cringe? This is Ninja from your JetPunk server. I was wondering if it might be possible for me to report an honest, well-meaning oops by one of your quiz answers. He really didn't mean any harm over it, and seemed to have meant it as an honest joke, but, he can't reverse it, and I thought I'd see about getting it fixed before someone catches on that the answer is wrong.

He shouldn't be disciplined over this, but, if you can, do me a favor and let him, when you get around to fixing his score, that it was I who very kindly pointed out his oops, since he just planned on hoping that someone noticed and fixed it, but, I didn't want someone thinking that he was cheating on purpose, so, after a day passed, I though it wise to bug you about it. If you want the full details of how this happened, you can use the following link to JetPunk.

Thank you for your time, and keep on keepin' on. Take care. 🙂

Remember, it was an honest mistake. Don't kill him over this. Please. 😛

Very nitpicky, but technically, Cologne is part of the Ruhr metro area.

Edit: It is also rather strange to me that you (or your source) used Katowice instead of Krakow. They're inarguably in the same metro area, with Krakow having more than twice of Katowice's population city proper?

Just a suggestion for a great quiz, but it would be nice if the dots were a wee bit larger on the click to enlarge. Some of them are kind of hard to spot and/or distinguish from other dots.

Also, could you accept Fort Myers for Cape Coral? Cape Coral is larger than Fort Myers, but the only way that Cape Coral is 1,000,000 is if its the larger metro area including both.

Nice job!

If we are using citypopulation.de's urban area stats for cities, Hartford, Buffalo, Oklahoma City, Fresno, Louisville, Tulsa, El Paso, McAllen all do not meet 1 million people. It looks like the stat being used is urban agglomerations of the world.

For this, Buffalo includes St Catharine's, Ontario, Canada. Boston includes Providence. Washington DC includes Baltimore. Guangzhou includes Shenzhen but not Hong Kong. Detroit includes both Toledo, Ohio and Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

I’ll be honest I just get my coordinates from chatgpt and then check on the map to see if they look off for these kinds of quizzes

I would like to understand how this process resulted in Arequipa being where it is. Specifically, how "checking if it seems off" did not result in it being moved to southern Peru from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Why is Surat in Mali, Sendai off the coast of Spain and Arequipa in the middle of the atlantic? For a moment I thought that a million people had suddenly immigrated to St Helena

Actually there are two cities in China both pronounced as Suzhou, the larger and more famous one is Sūzhōu in Jiangsu Province, once translated as Soochow, near Shanghai; The smaller one is Sùzhōu in Anhui Province. In Jetpunk quizzes the larger Suzhou is usually regarded part of greater Shanghai and not as individual, just like Newark counted as part pf greater New York. However, the smaller Suzhou also has a population larger than 1M, but the author has put it at the location of the larger one.

Some other spelling variations should be accepted. I missed a lot because of that.

For instance Odesa is usually spelt Odessa. Quite a few others in China.

Really enjoyed the quiz. A lot of changes with the update.
