Very interesting quiz but you seem to be going back and forth between metro population and city-proper.

New York is clearly metropolitan area but Recife is only city proper. I think Utrecht metro area (656,342 per Wikipedia) would beat out a number of the options here.

Great concept with interesting answers but I think it needs to be reviewed with regards to the above.

Thanks for the nomination! I will take a look at the population of the cities. Utrecht isnt in this quiz, because Utrecht is founded by the Romans.

Recife was not founded by the Dutch. It was founded in the 16th century, around 100 years before the dutch even touched our shores

Wonderfully diverse selection of cities. Great quiz! Perhaps it's apt to accept New Amsterdam for New York City on this quiz.
