	Fun. I would change the following cities though as i believe they may be too "well known" and kind of give the rest away. 1)Lhasa, 2)Jeddah, and 3)Nuremberg

	Jordan117:	Nov 19th, 2010 at 05:26 GMT		2 points
	Heh -- my last name is one of the clues.

	bumfish:	Nov 19th, 2010 at 07:35 GMT		1 point
	Nice quiz. As Manitopiaaa says, there are some reasonably well-known places listed, but overall I think you've got the balance about right. I would suggest possibly changing: Alice Springs, Dijon, Aswan, Port Said, Goteborg.

	I like the combination of difficult and more moderate clues, great quiz. However there are a couple of Inaccuracies with the Ethiopia clues Addigrat should be spely Adigrat (1 d) and the town you list as Hawassa is called Awassa, the H needs dropping. Also Sindh is a province of Pakistan not a city.

	Great quiz! I'd leave the few easier answers. It's nice for everyone to be able to get a couple.

	Anyone else only get Turkmenistan because of the 'abat' and its similarity to Ashgabat?

	yellowcarpet:	Nov 19th, 2010 at 17:12 GMT		2 points
	@Rhys. Absolutely.

	Anyone who missed Germany with Nuremberg as clue needs to repeat 6th grade history.

	professor_beavis:	Nov 19th, 2010 at 18:34 GMT		2 points
	Sundsvall, Sweden (not Sundsvali) was mispelled.

	Fidelio:	Nov 19th, 2010 at 18:51 GMT		2 points
	Ibadan and Kano are both among the top 15 biggest cities in Africa (in terms of population). However, since only about half the people who take the quiz guess the country correctly, I'm not sure it's a bad idea to have those cities there.

	Littlecorporal:	Nov 19th, 2010 at 19:19 GMT		2 points
	Exactly, these cities arent necessarily based on size but rather how familiar people are with the names.

	jmarshallg:	Nov 19th, 2010 at 20:04 GMT		1 point
	Not sure Kobe is an obscure city.

	gowhere:	Nov 19th, 2010 at 21:04 GMT		4 points
	The quiz refers to lesser known cities, not obscure. I think the balance is just about right. Allow people to have some satisfaction at identifying some of the countries while keeping it challenging for geography buffs. There were a number of countries where I knew all three cities, and others where I knew none. Good one Littlecorporal!

	Great Quiz, like the the moderate and difficult questions. Those african ones were tricky.

	ulashima:	Nov 20th, 2010 at 08:41 GMT		1 point
	Balikaser is spelt wrong. It's Balıkesir (or Balikesir without the special character)

	hellofromUK:	Nov 20th, 2010 at 16:33 GMT		1 point
	A good quiz. Some cities like Nuremberg, Dijon, Aswan, Jeddah and Strasbourg are 'well known' because of things they are associated with. I think most people would still find it challenging to stick a pin on a map to within a hundred miles of it.

	Littlecorporal:	Nov 20th, 2010 at 23:40 GMT		1 point
	Right, I dont want to make everything impossible, especially for the average quiz taker. There have to be some easier to place answers.
