Hi Zupity. I just did your Brisbane quiz. The question/answer about the Summer Olympic Games is incorrect. Brisbane has not yet held these Games, but are scheduled to in 2032. Not the same thing. You will be aware the scheduled Commonwealth Games in 2026 to be held in the state of Victoria are no longer happening.

Also your spelling of Tokyo is wrong.

cheers

Thanks Roger. I have fixed the typo. Apart from that, no correction is required.
