	I. Forgot. Paris.

	Why is Porto only listed as a bonus answer when it's tied with the last one on the list?

	Patteroast:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 08:01 GMT	11 points
	How did I get Port Harcourt but miss Pittsburgh, Portland, and Phoenix?

	Golden:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 08:14 GMT	3 points
	There should really either be 21 answers, or else porto and port harcourt should both be accepted for the 20th.

	the definition of the metropolitan area seems so random at times

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 12:59 GMT	4 points
	@adamnvillani: Because the powers-that-be at Sporcle have decided that it's Oporto. See for yourself, it doesn't even accept Porto anymore.

	Peking could be a bonus answer. Otherwise, great quiz.

	Klaus:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 14:42 GMT	2 points
	I only got 6. But great and challenging quiz. I'm surprised only 80% got Paris.

	marpocky:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 15:44 GMT	15 points
	How about Pusan as a bonus? It's just as commonly spelled that way as Busan. (Beijing, on the other hand, is no longer properly spelled Peking.)

	Had to fall back on my memory of world capitals and hoped that Palikir and Port-Vila had overnight population booms...

	ffi:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 18:35 GMT	7 points
	Yes, world capitals weren't as big a help as I was hoping for—Palikir, Port Vila, Port Louis, Paramaribo, Port-of-Spain... of course I was too busy with that to think of Philadelphia.

	Petrograd forever!

	@Goldenbo - are you my doppelganger? I tried Petrograd too.

	mellybmel:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 23:44 GMT	6 points
	Let me chime in on...Petrograd. So fixated on why it wouldn't take that that I forgot...Phoenix... Good one!

	kbmaster:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 23:54 GMT	2 points
	How did I forget Philadelphia?? I don't know, but good quiz otherwise.

	dbcint:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 02:21 GMT	3 points
	Tried Papatoetoe just to be sure

	pandora isn't on there :(

	Once again, the obscure third-world megalopolii stump me... Hard to believe that Providence metro has so many people when the city only has about 200K people

	dav_uz:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 15:18 GMT	5 points
	Anyone try Portsmouth knowing full well that it wouldn't be there?!

	Azazello:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 19:35 GMT	6 points
	I live in Providence and I didn't get this answer. There is no WAY Providence belongs on this quiz... The entire state of RI doesn't even have as many people as are supposedly in the Providence metro area (according to this quiz). Are we stealing from Boston??

	Jerry_Garcia:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 16:50 GMT	3 points
	I like these quizzes. Huh, I really thought Prague was bigger. Ya learn somethin' new everyday. I like the Pusan as a bonus answer idea.

	schulace:	Mar 17th, 2010 at 03:02 GMT	3 points
	Instantly tried Paraguay.

	zzz:	Mar 20th, 2010 at 01:20 GMT	2 points
	Why isn't "no" an option to the question posed by the quiz? I would have gotten that one right.

	vgirardi:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 18:45 GMT	3 points
	Azazello: Providence metro includes most of Bristol County, MA (New Bedford, Fall River, Taunton and Attleboro) as well as the entire state of RI. So yes, Providence metro pop > RI state pop. And i also live in Providence and missed it.

	jimmyk83:	May 21st, 2010 at 12:46 GMT	1 point
	@dav_uz. Yes, me. Tried Portsmouth although i knew there was no chance it was on there. Although that was probably less optimistic than many of my guesses- palikir, port louis, porto novo. Apparently i dont know that many cities beginning with P.

	This is morbid, but I think Port au prince has a lot fewer people now.

	umber100:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 03:45 GMT	1 point
	any other bonuses besides Porto(Oporto)?
