"Le Havre" is misspelled. You should except "Goteborg" for Gothenburg and "Marseille" for Marseilles. Ghent is in Belgium. Interesting quiz, though.

Thanks, John -- knew you'd find a hole or two in here. All should be fixed now.

Very creative. Possible if you know your geography, but nobody's going to know this off the top of their head.

Typing 'the' gives the answer for 11,919. I think you've added an extra forward slash at the end of the answers for it.

I typed Havana and it didn't give me credit for it.

I had the same problem as TheLastWaltz; typing Havana didn't give me the answer, but Rio de Janeiro did, even though Havana is in the answer.

You have Antwerp listed as Belgium but Rotterdam and Ghent as "low countries". Also what's the logic behind listing Ghent and Rotterdam together while having Antwerp seperate? "Ports in The Netherlands & Belgium" including Antwerp, Ghent and Rotterdam might be better.
