I know that it says to guess the largest 100 metros when there are actually only 50. It's a little problem I am attempting to figure out.

I'd like to see a source too. Where does Tripoli end, because Banghazi does make it. And I had never heard of Vereeniging as a South African city with so many residents before.

Tripoli is most definitely significantly larger than many of the cities on the list. Also, some sources will have Marrakesh with a high enough population as well. Source definitely needed.

Needs a source, and other colors, in my opinion. To change the question, click: Create > Edit (below/next to '50 Largest Metros of Africa') in the column for your contributed games.

Great quiz, as for someone making the colors comment, it's the quiz maker's choice, but if you're open to suggestions, Golonguthur, how about the pan-African colors: Red, Yellow, Green.

I would also suggest listing the country next to the city e.g., Cairo, Egypt. Novice Sporclers may not be familiar with many of these places.
