	And Sin City bursts into my mind in all its glorious fictionality.

	Non-specific to this quiz: what happened to the short lived info on how many of the bonuses we got right?

	Good idea for a quiz but citymayors data is completely unreliable.

	^detektor: Sin City was actually "Basin City"

	shouldn't suzhou be on this?

	these rankings are extremely out of date. Shenzhen is a bonus answer, with a population of 1.3 million... in reality Shenzhen has a population of over 8 million. =/

	Look at that 'S' car go!

	Well, duh, missed the city of my birth, but in my defense, I know the population of San Francisco is only about 750,000 - the "metro area" part of the quiz didn't really ping with me. I'm not sure what all was included to get it from 750,000 to 3.36 million.

	The metro area covers the counties of San Francisco itself, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Marin. Populations here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_census_statistical_areas

	Also what about Sim City, hehe

	For everyone complaining about the source, yeah, sometimes citymayors isn't the most reliable but what other good source is there for this sort of thing? And citymayors is pretty well established on Sporcle, it's used in quite a lot of quizzes. Anyway, another published quiz, very exciting! Keep watching for more User Created games in this series, they're coming!

	Since this is Sporcle, I know I'm not the only one who will wonder: the population of the San Jose, Costa Rica metro area is 1,610,000.

	HPZ: I typed in San Jose expecting Costa Rica, but got the bonus answer instead. Also, I had no idea there were that many people in the Dominican Republic. Didn't even cross my mind to enter that one. Still fun, though!

	No Scranton???

	i was on a sporcle high after nailing the european languages quiz, however this one brought me back down with a measly score of five:(

	It's impossible for a non-chinese man to know how to write their towns.

	gmish504:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 14:50 GMT	1 point
