	Thanks for playing, everyone! If you like this kinds of quiz, check out "B" World Metros(www.sporcle.com/games/Unidentifiedkiwi/b_metros) and "M" World Metros(www.sporcle.com/games/Unidentifiedkiwi/m_metros).

	Great quiz! A few toughies but fair overall.

	lazeeeyes:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 06:27 GMT	3 points
	A good challenging quiz. I approve.

	Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia should be on here ... it has metro pop of around 7 million

Comment below threshold: show it

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 15:26 GMT	3 points
	@deadperson, my source has it nowhere near that; metro area figures can differ by a lot. @BigThing, yeah, I was on the fence about Port-au-Prince but decided to keep it. As for Washington DC, it was left out of Multiple-Word US Cities because the "DC" is technically where the city of Washington is located, so I did the same.

	really really interesting that none of these are in Europe (except sort of #45)

I'm loving user contributed quizzes. Good old sporcle!

	How about Santiago de Chile, with 5.7m?

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Oct 5th, 2009 at 22:20 GMT	4 points
	The source (and most people) just call it Santiago.

	There are now bonus answers based on cities that people might think were answers but missed the cut. If you have more bonus ideas, comment!

	Fort Worth?

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Oct 31st, 2009 at 15:05 GMT	1 point
	Fort Worth is a city within the Dallas metro area that just happens to be large, and in making these quizzes I'm including only the main city. I don't think it warrants a bonus.

	mbc:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 07:53 GMT	-1 points
	The Twin Cities are ranked 135 in the source, neither is part of the other and they're kind of the same metro area. Certainly not worth a real answer but maybe a bonus?

	thisisaname:	Nov 18th, 2009 at 00:46 GMT	-3 points
	What about the Ruhr Valley? I remember multiple quizzes on Sporcle include it as a metropolitan area.

	NoVan:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 05:06 GMT	-1 points
	New Delhi as a bonus? Or is it counted with Delhi?

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 01:14 GMT	3 points
	New Delhi is actually inside Delhi so would count for Delhi's metro. New Delhi is pretty small anyway. And I didn't include the Twin Cities for the reason I didn't include Dallas. Although calling that area by the 2 names is much more common, I'm going for consistency in calling each metro by only one city.

	WorldWhiz:	Dec 8th, 2009 at 23:26 GMT	2 points
	Maybe Nizhny (or Nizhni) Novgorod, in Russia, as a bonus? It has a population of 1.3 million and is #319 in citymayors.com; does this make it bonus answer material?

	Golden:	Feb 16th, 2010 at 02:58 GMT	-1 points
	got 7 bonuses but missed a lot of the real ones. I was so gutted that I got Nizhniy Novgorod and it was only a bonus! But - I have not seen Capetown written as two words before. Although your source may spell as such are you sure this is the accepted spelling?

	When you type in Hong Kong, San Francisco gets answered as well. Maybe you accidentally put Hong Kong as a variation of the San Francisco answers??

	Great quiz - what about Budapest as a bonus.

	Apollo846:	Apr 16th, 2010 at 05:53 GMT	0 points
	Frankfurt am Main?

	Onno:	May 3rd, 2010 at 20:12 GMT	3 points
	What about El Paso-Juarez? Both cities have multiple words, and on a world level they surely count as one metro area?

	fabolous:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 19:31 GMT	1 point
	i don't know, but here in germany everyone is calling it "santiago de chile"...

	bstarr66:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 04:21 GMT	0 points
	Port-au-prince is one word IMO.

	aaaandrew:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 07:33 GMT	0 points
	Dallas-Ft Worth?

	yellowcarpet:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 18:09 GMT	1 point
	Cebu City?

	chriskotx:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 23:09 GMT	1 point
	Mexicans and Guatemalans refer to their capitals as simply Mexico and Guatemala - much like New York (City) residents almost always just say New York.
