	I C what you did there.

	arb78:	May 8th, 2010 at 04:40 GMT	18 points
	Honestly, too hard...but there's not much you can do about that!

	dje:	May 8th, 2010 at 04:43 GMT	35 points
	im somewhat surprised calcutta isnt accepted, if even as a bonus.

	imclassy888:	May 8th, 2010 at 04:45 GMT	8 points
	I agree with the Calcutta comment. Surprised someone beat me to it with only three comments on here.

	steeltown:	May 8th, 2010 at 05:07 GMT	25 points
	I forgot Cincinnati, and I live in Cincinnati

Comment below threshold: show it

	With a mouth full of food the four Chinese cities have the same name.

	superpole2000:	May 8th, 2010 at 05:24 GMT	25 points
	Without a thorough knowledge of Chinese geography, you are severely handicapped in these population city quizzes.

	You think you need Chinese Geography now...wait until we get to the '20 largest metropolitan areas in the world that start with 'X'' quiz.

	missed my hometown; got one that only 2% of sporclers got. typical sporcle quiz for me

	mellybmel:	May 8th, 2010 at 05:51 GMT	7 points
	Missed my own birthplace, Chicago. Got more bonus cities than answers! Humiliating--in a fun way.

	mellybmel:	May 8th, 2010 at 05:53 GMT	8 points
	And I think the problem with Calcutta is it's Kolkata?

	awesome0_asimov:	May 8th, 2010 at 08:54 GMT	2 points
	ceriously, can't you take chengdou?

	RobR:	May 8th, 2010 at 13:03 GMT	1 point
	Got four and made 77th percentile. On my best day I might have gotten four more.

	NoVan:	May 8th, 2010 at 14:04 GMT	7 points
	No bonus answer for "Cíudad de México"? (Only joking.)

	Havok3595:	May 8th, 2010 at 15:13 GMT	3 points
	Ah, metro areas. I thought I remembered Columbus being the largest city in Ohio, was shocked to see it was just a bonus, but glad I tried other Ohio cities anyway. Still only managed seven, and I was an East Asian Studies major, so I have no excuse for missing all of China.

	VogonPoet:	May 8th, 2010 at 15:52 GMT	4 points
	Columbus is the largest city in Ohio but the third largest metro area.

	DonEscamillo:	May 8th, 2010 at 16:27 GMT	7 points
	I always start off these cities quizzes with sky high confidence only to be moaning and shaking my head 3 minutes in cause I can't get the last ten answers.

	Mik:	May 8th, 2010 at 23:12 GMT	3 points
	I forgot Cape Town... I'm from Cape Town...

	rudi:	May 8th, 2010 at 23:22 GMT	3 points
	10/20 put me in 98th %'ile, whoa! I fifth the Calcutta comment but can C arguments against.

	Shanamah:	May 9th, 2010 at 00:02 GMT	3 points
	Curitiba is one of the best cities ever.

	blahedo:	May 9th, 2010 at 02:53 GMT	16 points
	I definitely think if "Cologne", which natives spell "Köln", is accepted, then "Calcutta" ("Kolkata") ought to be too.

	Frederik_M:	May 9th, 2010 at 13:07 GMT	6 points
	Perhaps add Canton/Guangzhou as bonus answer (it has 10 million inhabitants in the metro area).

	mrgenova:	May 10th, 2010 at 01:51 GMT	4 points
	Wow...Cleveland gets the bronze medal for most-guessed. And here I was thinking that it's most famous moment would come from the "hastily made tourism" videos.

	TaigaStar:	May 10th, 2010 at 21:19 GMT	3 points
	i think i got all the bonus answers... i certainly got more bonuses than legitimate answers!

	Matt Brad:	May 10th, 2010 at 23:46 GMT	1 point
	Changzhou, China: 3,570,000 metro pop. Conakry, Guinea: 1,931,184 census pop. anytime the word "metro" is used on these things its different, because cologne is estimated at 11,297,000 metro by some definitions.

	no love for the 'nati?

	Dobbins:	May 11th, 2010 at 14:29 GMT	2 points
	I nearly got more bonus answers than real answers.

	dav_uz:	May 12th, 2010 at 12:01 GMT	3 points
	Any Brits try Cardiff for a laugh?

	umber100:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 03:39 GMT	1 point
	i dont understand how your bonuses work, cities like conakry and chandigarh have higher populations than calgary yet are not listed also, did anyone get any bonus besides charlotte, calgary, calcutta, or columbus?

	Klaus:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 18:07 GMT	0 points
	I missed my birthplace, Chicago. Thank god no one saw.

	peterpan:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 16:58 GMT	3 points
	do you ever have your teenager come into chat right while you're in the middle of a sporcle quiz and you're too embarrassed (or too good a parent (NOT) ) to say buzz off, don't interrupt my sporcling!!

	planetmutty:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 02:20 GMT	0 points
	@mellybmel, I agree, Kolkata is the correct name and the one the local people have been using for centuries. Calcutta is simply incorrect and should not be allowed, even as a bonus.

	Dunteman:	Mar 6th, 2011 at 04:51 GMT	0 points
	dang i missed colombo, but i got 19 of 20

	johnnyforeigner:	Mar 27th, 2011 at 20:31 GMT	2 points
	If you don't allow Calcutta -- the common English name for Kolkata -- then by that logic you shouldn't allow Cologne (the common English name for Koln), Copenhagen (the common English name for København), Cebu (Sugbo) or, for that matter, Colombo (கொழும்பு). This quiz is in English, after all...

	ablatt:	Apr 20th, 2011 at 01:17 GMT	1 point
	How do I guess Columbus and not Cleveland OR Cincinnati?????

	Colmar:	May 6th, 2011 at 03:34 GMT	1 point
	I always seem to overlook some obvious ones with these quizzes. With 'C' it's Chennai, Cincinnati, Casablanca and Cebu.
