	This may not be the best quiz I've ever contributed to Sporcle, but it's my favorite because of the process involved. The quiz as published looks very little like the one I contributed back in June. But if you look back at the archived comments you'll see that Sporclers everywhere were incredibly helpful in making improvements and modifications to the quiz to make it better. This was truly a group effort and is an example of what the user contributed section is all about. Thank you, fellow Sporclers, for helping me improve on the original idea. I hope you all enjoy the end result.

	@awiz- I have no idea what a sporcle is, you'll have to ask the site creator about that one. A 'sporcler' though is someone who sporcles, who engages in sporcling. In other words, someone taking a quiz on this website. Anyway, my point was just to say thank you to everyone who provided great feedback on this one, as it was much appreciated.

	the modern picture of athens is my computer's desktop background, taken from the EXACT same perspective atop the parthenon overlooking the city, and of course i missed athens. SMH

	I really liked this quiz because there were some smaller world cities (Boston, Dublin) as well as the usual New York, Paris, Rome, etc.

	I swore Dublin's picture was of an Eastern European city, until I spotted the tiny black-and-white tricolour in the corner! I definitely was inducing a lot of eyestrain on this quiz poring over them photos, haha. Good mix of cities!

	Would be fun to include one or two WW-2 destroyed cities, Rotterdam or Dresden for example.

	1940s Los Angeles looks like a Tim Burton film.
