	Perth is a city in Scotland, Europe as well as a city in Australia. So that should be included as a right answer...

	@mintandhazelnut: well, mostly because, well, how should I put this? One is in Europe and the other isn't... more specifically, Turkey spans both continents (and actually this is not one of the "unclear" borders), and one of these cities is situated in Asia Minor, so Asia, while the larger part of the other is on the western side of the great Europe-Asia-divide over there.

	There's also a Guadalajara in Spain (from which the Mexican city took its name). Probably it would be better to add a note stating that only the most populated city with the same name must be considered (and so Perth, UK and London, Canada would be excluded as well).

	Add to the "they got their name from..." list, Lagos Portugal.

	How about, instead of including a game note stating that you're looking for the better-known cities, you simply remove the ambiguous (and technically correct) answers?

	Santiago is another ambiguous one - I presume the quiz maker was thinking of the one in Chile, but the original Santiago is in Spain. Similarly, there's a town in the UK called Kingston. Istanbul lies partly in Europe and partly in Asia, so it's neither an entirely right nor an entirely wrong answer.

	I don't understand why people make these minefield quizzes where 1 wrong answer ends it.

	Trujillo and Guadalajara are both cities in Spain

	I know Wikipedia isn't the greatest source, but it says that Chelyabinsk in on the border of Europe and Asia, so it shouldn't be an incorrect answer.

	Most Sporcle quizzes put Turkey and Russia into both Europe and Asia quizzes. If you're not going to include eastern Russia and eastern Turkey, then please make a note saying so. It would be nice if when making these quizzes where one answer ends the quiz that quiz players be given a chance to see what the right answers are. Otherwise it's just frustrating to click on an answer and have the quiz end without explanation.
