This is a weird comment, but this is the best-looking quiz to use the default color scheme that I've ever seen.

Yes — Canton, Dacca, Saigon and Rangoon are all out-of-date names; these days, they’re called Guangzhou, Dhaka, Ho Chi Minh City, and Yangon.

erm, how the h*ll could I forget Canada? Facepalm! Surprised to see Greece (Athens) and a whole bunch of other countries in Europe with large cities (such as Ukraine, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania) not being included.

Nice quiz! But 7 minutes is quite long, 4 or minutes is best.

Agree with @smike; I think most Sporclers will get about 35 of these within 2 minutes and spend the next 5 rattling through everything else

I forget Luanda, Angola on every single one of this quizzes. My brain goes Lagos to Kinshasa right to Johannesburg.

Like Pit_trout said, Dacca, Saigon, and Rangoon are names that are very outdated. Dacca is Dhaka, Saigon is Ho Chi Minh City, and Rangoon is Yangon. Please fix this.

I liked the quiz but got a bit confused when the United States appeared as the second answer. It is a bit odd to ask for "countries that have a city with a population in the top 100" but use a list of "the principal agglomerations of the world" as a source. There is a big difference between city (proper) and agglomeration or metropolitan area. Only three US cities (New York, Los Angeles and Chicago) would be in the top 100 of cities proper but there would be some more Indian ones. Why don't you just specify that you are asking for agglomerations/metros in the title or the instructions?
