Mumbai's GDP was shockingly small. Only 125 billion, which is around the same as Athens and Cairo.

I tried a couple of African cities before leaving that continent altogether. Once Cairo and Lagos didn't make the list, I had a hard time thinking who would. Like others, I'm surprised that only one metropolis in India made the list.

Tried Berlin and Frankfurt and then stopped trying German cities. I always forget about the Ruhr cities since none of them are independently as famous as those two. No excuse for Munich.

I got Tianjin and Chongqing but missed Shenzhen, Suzhou, and Hong Kong (!). At least I got the two big ones.

I always wonder about the metro designations for Germany. City wise, Munich should be beaten by Hamburg, metro wise (and the pop figures indicate that) Frankfurt will jump way up. As long as I do not understand this metro grouping concept, my home countfry will always be my weakest spot (well, technically not, I'm used to trying them all, I just do not understand the results).

Nigeria and Bangladesh have huge populations, yet get outdone by cities way down he list. It is quite sad that they are so poor. :(

Suzhou? very interesting. Certainly not a Chinese city I would have guess. I assume it's largely thanks to its proximity to Shanghai.

When I finished the quiz I knew that, regardless how many US and Chinese cities I had already guessed, I would still miss at least a couple from each country. And it happened that way. In fact, 23 out of the 50 answers are US/China. And not even a single African one...

Minneapolis gets a huge share of it's number from Cargill -- possibly the largest food company in the world. It's hard to pin down their exact size since the company is family-owned.

This is a really fascinating source. I didn't realise that Shanghai now has a higher per capita GDP than Naples or Malaga!

Even though it is considered a 'poor' city by US standards, surprised New Orleans is not on the list. Very large port city, huge oil industry.

Mumbai and Dubai have notorious poverty. They severe divisions in class within those cities masks the underlying squalor, and outsiders usually only see the affluent.

I just assumed Shenzhen was included in the Hong Kong metro area. (Actually, I assumed Guangzhou was also included in the HK metro area, but that was probably too aggressive an assumption.)

No one's worse off than Zimbabwe. They had $217 total in the bank at the end of January.

I wonder what this quiz will look like 10 years from now. Probably a lot more China. I'm going to have to learn some Chinese geography.

According to your source Brussels produces about the half of the Belgian GDP and it has about 5 milion inhabitants. Both facts are false. The metropolitan region of Brussels has only 1.8 milion inhabitants. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels)

Never thought of Suzhou, not many did, guess not many have even heard of it, but I lived there for over a year.

I wonder why Suzhou counts separately from Shanghai, but San Jose does not count separately from San Francisco. (Or maybe San Jose is separate and is just too small? I find that hard to believe, given the concentrations of wealth in the South Bay.)

Expected to see more of India. Guess big population doesn't necessarily equal big economy.

I thought the Ruhr was an area comprised of different cities and their surrounding areas and not a city in itself?
