I've taken this quiz twice and missed Delhi twice. It never enters my mind because I think of it as New Delhi. When will I learn?

I thought Tucson, AZ, was bigger than Turin, so after I hit Turin I typed Tucson over 5 times. Checked the source and found that I was monumentally wrong.

That was insanely difficult for me - I only got 9. I thought of a bunch that didn't work, like Kunming, Denver, Tulsa, Calcutta, and Hohhot. I feel some dumb seeing the answers, but trying to think of cities based on their letters was much harder than I would have thought.

Usually, the picture shown in the thumbnail is of the first answer on the page. But this picture of not of Tokyo, it is of Osaka. Not a mistake by any means, as they both appear on the list, but I just didn't want anyone thinking that the top picture was Tokyo. The world needs to know!

Yeah as far as I'm aware the GTA is closer to just over 6 million in population. Not quite sure where the 7 million number comes from.

50% of Canada lives below this line which is at about the same latitude as Portland, Oregon.

I never think of Delhi as a city, as it's technically a "capital region." I only think of New Delhi.

Tough enough that I didn't guess 10 of them, and of those 10, I've been to 3 of them! Toronto, Phoenix, and Oslo, all worth a visit for sure!

That was a tough quiz. I got 17 even though I knew basically all of the cities.

Raise your hand if you got the second most populous city with "LO" and completely blanked on the most populous one. I imagine that a lot of Yanks struggle with that one since it's hardly used.
