	The instructions were too vague- it wasn't clear that you were to list the cities in the order in which they reached a population of 1 million people- also I think a little more time is needed, but the underlying theme is a good one.

	I had some trouble coming up with a title that would fit and outline the idea of the game. Also, any more than 1 minute just leaves too much guess time.

	one minute? freak.

	Good quiz, think the instructions are clear enough, must admit that I thought you'd gone crazy when I realised you want everything in order and in minute, but it's not as hard as the first impression would suggest.

	I think you should not hide the third column, that makes it easier to understand when you first see the quiz... But the quiz is good by the way!

	dude, with only 10 cities to have ever done it, two minutes would be way to easy. I mean everyone generally knows which ones reach the million mark, all you have to do is put them in order. As for the title, I'd like to make it clearer, but it won't let me make it any longer.

	Yeah, there are only 10 cities with an excess of 1,000,000 population, but most people can't name those off the top of their heads, much less the order they achieved that population mark in history. Plus, it's not even stated whether these are the numbers of the metro population, or the greater area. One isn't able to assume that players can immediately name off the top ten, and therefore the time should be lengthened to 2 minutes.

	Definitely need more time.

	I was able to finish, but my first thought when I clicked start was there isn't enough time. I still think there isn't enough time.

	Another minute would be great. 2 minutes would be way too long if you didn't want them in order, but 1 minute isn't enough to do that if you don't guess lucky really fast.

	Well, I'll stick up for the current time! Plenty of Sporclers know the top ten fairly well, or at least the top half dozen or so; having the time at 1:00 certainly makes it pretty tough, but not impossible — more than 10% of people are getting them all — and I think Dobbins is right that having it at 2:00 would probably make it too easy. I don't know about others, but I for one find it more satisfying getting 7/10 on a hard quiz than 10/10 on an easy one...

	I think the time is fine. Nice quiz. Ignore the "not stated whether these are the metro population." You said very clearly that it's the CITIES that have one million.
