| What's your definition of skyscraper? Looks like your source gives one, and you should probably include that here. |

| marpocky: I think most people know what a skyscraper is - it's not easily confused with say, a house. |

| would it matter if we were told how many meters, or floors a skyscraper had? would we get any different number correct or incorrect? would you guess des moines if a skyscraper was defined as 66 instead of 67 floors? come on, don't be so picky. |

| Seconding Pelmert. Typing "shen" into google gives phrases beginning "shenzhen" as suggestions. Really Shenzhen should be the answer. Good quiz though. |

| Hey you stole my idea Rubashov! I was about to make the same kind of game, but then you stole it! Well at least I've been at your Source. Everything's correct. Good quiz, but you are such a robber to me. |

 | StupidBunny: | Mar 15th, 2013 at 05:06 GMT | | 14 points |
| ^I'm almost positive it is. (Well, New York CITY is anyway. ;)) Anyway I'm amazed that Dubai ranks fifth in skyscrapers worldwide. I knew it had a lot, but considering that cities like Beijing and Taipei don't even make it onto this it's kind of insane. |

| Beijing really isn't that kind of city. Whilst it is massive, it is not the high rise type. In China, the high rises are really left to Shanghai which is more of a modern city compared to Beijing's historical feel. |

| I was surprised not to see Sao Paulo. Many high-rises below the cut-off I suppose |
| Zak6009: | Mar 15th, 2013 at 11:06 GMT | | 0 points |
| Agreed about Beijing. Though because it wasn't on here, I didn't even think to try all those other Chinese cities, even Hong Kong. |

| I hate seeing "Willis Tower". Even in the tower, the souvenirs still say Sears Tower. Changing the name of such an iconic structure should've just been denied. |

| I live in Beijing, never thought in trying... it's not a skyscraper city. Maybe because it suffered an earthquake in 1976.
What surprises me is see so many people thinking in Beijing as a skyscraper city... |

Beijing and Taipei are both population dense areas w/o many skyscrapers. If you ever go atop Taipei 101- you see how flat the rest of the city is. |
