How the hell is Frankfurt on the list, while Moscow, Kiev, Budapest, Vienna etc. are not? By the way, the last third of the list is "(North) America's Best of the Rest", so I wouldn't include it anyway.

@Olliejoseph1997: I can't tell if you're joking or not because it's extremely clear how they were judged. As the first post says, read the explanation at the top.

nadiverb, perhaps you should take a closer look at the source. And perhaps do a simple image search before you say that Kiev or Budapest has a better skyline than Frankfurt.

Start looking at sources people, before complaining! Here it is obvious from the beginning that historical builings were not taken under consideration! Very good quiz, five points from me! ;-)

Only 14.8% got Panama City? That is the "it" skyline of Latin America. Here's a link: http://images.travelpod.com/users/sranmal/1.1275256128.panama-city-skyline.jpg

Not the quiz authors fault, but I really am at odds with the definition of a nice skyline in the source, starting with "height is good" for aesthetic appeal.

Well, if you're looking for aesthetically pleasing little bungalows, that's not really a skyline is it ulkomaalainen?

Go Australia! - Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane all made the list. Not bad for a small country (population wise)
