Isn't Ottawa the capital of Canada

Level 76

Mar 11, 2020

Yes, but it's not the capital of Ontario

Level 70

Mar 11, 2020

Toronto is the capital of Ontario, that's why it wasn't there.

Level 63

Mar 11, 2020

Correction: It should be Grande Prairie, not Red Prairie

Level 76

Mar 11, 2020

Thanks, fixed

The Italian Islands are Sicily and Sardinia i guess, but Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia, so it should'nt be here... And i don't think Venice is on one of the isles...

Level 76

Mar 14, 2020

Venice is in fact on an island

Level 72

Mar 14, 2020

For Scotland, Paisley, East Kilbride and Livingston are towns, not cities, so your five answers should be:

Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Inverness and Stirling.

Pyeongyang is a capital of Korea, just North Korea. While South Korea may claim the whole of the peninsula, in practical terms it does not control it, but it serves and is diplomatically recognised as the capital for the North.

Level 76

May 11, 2020

We know, however Korea does not have one single capital, so either works

Level 77

May 23, 2020

Odense is spelled wrong in the Denmark one

Level 76

fixed

Level 36

May 23, 2020

But Port-au-Prince is a capital city.

Level 76

May 23, 2020

Yes, but Port-au-Prince is not the capital of Hispaniola

Level 91

Mar 11, 2023

Hispaniola is not an "H-country", or any type of country. That's like saying no capitals of "N-countries", then allowing Managua, Nicaragua because it is not the capital of North America.

Level 38

May 25, 2020

Isn't London a capital? As well as Tegucigalpa, Stockholm, and a ton of other cities on this quiz.

Level 76

May 25, 2020

Those are capitals but are not the capital of the regions we are asking about

Level 55

May 26, 2020

For H countries, that is too technical. Either capitals are allowed or they aren't. What is your reasoning here - that since no city can be the capital of all the H countries, that means all capitals are allowed for this one item? Just disallow capitals and largest cities across the board so that people taking the quiz don't need to read your mind for one answer that has special but unknown rules.

Shouldn't Mumbai be accepted. Pretty sure it's the second largest city in India..

Level 91

Oct 24, 2022

Yup, by city or urban population.

Level 67

Dec 12, 2021

Yeah, this is a really confusing quiz.

Level 69

Jul 12, 2022

Yeah I don't get how London isn't a capital or Lima or stockholm, Helsinki, Kishasha,

Level 91

Oct 24, 2022

So how is St. Petersburg not in the top 5 cities above 56°N? Going by the reasoning for other answers, there is no capital of 56° North.

Level 91

Mar 11, 2023

Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, and Langley are all direct suburbs of Vancouver, so they are part of the urban area population. Abbotsford is sort of kind of connected by thinning suburbs to Vancouver. At any rate, 4 of the 5 are definitely disqualified.

Level 80

Oct 19, 2024

Definitely agree. Kelowna absolutely should be an answer.

Level 85

Oct 21, 2024

Abbotsford is technically part of the FVRD (Fraser Valley Regional District), not Metro Vancouver (former GVRD, Greater Vancouver Regional District) so - at least per StatCan / Government of Canada equivalent definition of "urban area" it's separate and should be allowed.

The other four, however: definitely not.

Dongguan, not Dongguang
