Surely Prague has to be larger than Pilsen

That's why Prague is on the quiz and not Pilsen.

I've made a mistake and originally Pilsen was on the quiz, thanks for pointing it out. I'll fix the dot soon

Isn't Philadelphia larger than Phoenix?

Level 74

Phoenix is larger by about 100k in city proper population

Okay, then you need to change the wording in your instructions from "urban settlement" to clarify that you're referring to city proper, because Philadelphia is bigger than Phoenix on every other account (urban area, metropolitan area, combined metropolitan area), Philadelphia is bigger.
