See if you can name the 100 largest cities in a specified geographic location.
There will be some repeated cities
*Any form of 'Saint' is included
McMurdo Station has been given to you due to it's negligible population
Some regions have varying outlines and borders, so I tried to use different data to compare and remove less obvious regions. Still, if you feel there is a problem, feel free to let me know in the comments.
Thank you - it's a good quiz. If I may make a few comments/suggestions. Firstly, I think it could do with an extra minute - I certainly didn't get to the end, though admittedly I was eating an orange at the time. Isn't Istanbul bigger than Moscow (Europe Qn)? The India answer should be Delhi, rather than New Delhi. The Mediterranean is in the wrong place - should be with Seas, not Rivers. Lilongwe is not on the shore of Lake Malawi - I suspect that the answer to that question is Karonga or perhaps Nkhotakota. The Mountain Ranges and Deserts questions are difficult as their boundaries are unclear. For example, I don't think that Wien is in the Alps. Finally isn't Sao Paulo bigger than St Petersburg? If you meant the city had to be strictly "saint" in English, you should have said so.
This quiz is impressive, and it was a lot of fun -- thanks for all the work you put into making this! The only answer I noticed that I think is off was Detroit. Detroit is close to Lake Erie but not actually on it; it's more accurately on Lake St. Clair. I think the biggest city on Lake Erie would be Cleveland?
This is a really cool quiz only thing is I think you should use urban areas and not city proper for american cities (such as Jacksonville being the largest city in Florida)
I disagree with your answer for three words, though, as officially that place has a name that is only two words (the third word is a colloquial add-on).
One minor quibble/question: I'm a bit confused about the answer of Bengaluru for the Deccan Peninsula. I will agree that it's unquestionably the biggest city on the Deccan Plateau. However the Deccan Peninsula (which I would argue is a far less common term) really encompasses pretty much all of southern India. For example, the Encyclopedia Britannica defines it as "the entire southern peninsula of India south of the Narmada River."
Per that definition, I would submit that Mumbai would be included and should qualify as the largest city?
I tried to do something less common, as a challenge, but I suppose that messed me up as there’s not that much info on the peninsula. I’ll look at the source and update the quiz along with the other suggestions.
Great quiz! I had much fun, even if I could not finish it within the given time.
One point though: Istanbul as far as I know does not touch the Black Sea. It's actually located on the Marmara Sea side of the Bosporus strait. Unless you are considering the Bosporus strait itself as Black Sea, but that would be even more debatable.
All in all, I think this answer should be changed to (probably) Odessa in Ukraine.
I think this could still use another minute. Also, I'm struggling to see how London is on the North Sea -- even the outer suburbs are at least 25 miles inland.
Alps definitions vs Caucus (Baku is the lowest capital city in the world and by no means in the mountains)
Worst offender though is putting London on the North Sea- it's never been considered a coastal city of any kind ever. If it's close enough, then Guangzhou, a mere 50 km from the South China Sea, should beat out Manila
