| @astrivex (cont'd) - As for the largest metro areas, I also at first panicked when I got to that clue thinking it was ambiguous, but a bit of Google/Wiki research shows that it kind of isn't - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario scroll down to the "Urban Areas" section. I'm not Canadian so the terminology is kinda new to me, but it seems "metro areas" are a Canadian thing (as the description seems to imply) referring to a very specific set of cities/areas which happen to hold that classification, rather than a general description of it. Plus, the clue said "the largest city in each metro area" even more specific, so you KNOW it's the cities on that list. Well, it also said "not Barrie but all the ones above it". So, from that you infer that ALL 8 of the cities on that list above Barrie, are somewhere on this quiz. As for Windsor, well, once you infer the above I mentioned, you should have a total of 28 cities you KNOW are on this quiz, plus a yet-to-be-known "Saint" city, as well as a mysterious "K" city. That's 30 total (and you can deduce Sault Ste Marie based on where out of the spaces that you have left there could be two sharing a diagonal that border Michigan, plus that and Windsor are the only two bordering Michigan that are either among the 28 or fit the bill for what you know about the 2 left), so no more ambiguity. The Northern Ontario clue I actually didn't use, so can't really comment on that. As for the Prairie... well, the clue said "THE five prairie cities", implying there are only five, so that's how I took it. And going with that, you already know what they are, seeing as Alberta and Saskatchewan each have two separate cities that are the capital and largest city, plus Manitoba's equals five. I inferred from "THE five" that there were no more cities in any of those provinces outside those five. |
