Nice quiz, but which source are you using for the 1,000,000 cutoff? Because I don't think I've ever seen cities like Bishkek, Astana and Irkutsk in 1,000,000+ metro area lists.

The source is Google Earth and its medition tool, some Wikipedia articles and the U.N. estimations for 2010.

This is a really tough quiz; I got less than half of the answers and scored 92nd percentile. Lots of obscure big cities (if that's possible) in here.
