	Accept Tientsin for Tianjin (I believe it's an official alternate spelling)

	Koltrane:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 04:48 GMT	7 points
	Quite a challenge. I got two bonuses, but only four of the actual answers,

	mendelevium:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 08:23 GMT	9 points
	if you know your china and taiwan this quiz should be a breeze

	ivyagogo:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 09:41 GMT	9 points
	Woo Hoo! I got two.

	arpw:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 11:47 GMT	5 points
	Very tricky unless you're Chinese or Taiwanese...

	schulace:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 12:01 GMT	2 points
	Insert witty China/Taiwan joke here.

	RGJ:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 12:46 GMT	1 point
	Notable exception to the list, Tai'an, Shandong.

	The Hague? Doesn't count? :(

	1derflguy:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 18:02 GMT	4 points
	the "T" quiz, stands for "tough"! Actually, even being familiar with chinese cities is not sufficient, apparently, because of so many alternate transcriptions.

	Only got 6--and it still put me in the 90th %ile. Still hanging my head, though--forgot Tampa and Tel Aviv.

	ThurinEthir:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 19:18 GMT	2 points
	Here's where being Taiwanese comes in handy haha. Got all of the ones in Taiwan (I've been to them all too), and all of the ones in China except Taizhou. Missed Turin and Tel Aviv though.

	Bakey:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 19:50 GMT	4 points
	The Hague - no. It's Den Haag in Dutch anyway.

	redsxfenway:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 20:23 GMT	1 point
	Good god that quiz was hard.

	rudi:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 20:41 GMT	1 point
	9 out of 20, ouch! Mind was blank for the first four minutes. Got two bonuses (Tripoli and ___? I forget). I too tried Toulouse. Only misses I kick myself for are Tampa, Torino, Taichung, Tainan, and Toluca (well, not so much for the last three, as they wouldn't spring to mind, but I've visited all five).

	Tacoma has nowhere near 3 million people. It has less than 200,000.

	Sneuticles:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 22:07 GMT	0 points
	vote me down if you think i'm being obnoxious, but aren't these quizzes non-front-page-worthy (and not very fun) when such a significant portion of the answers are mid-sized Chinese cities that most people (even Sporclers) have never heard of? The fact that I got 6, yet finished in the 90th percentile, kinda proves my point.

	bigturnip:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 22:23 GMT	7 points
	The metro area of Thessaloniki is about 1.5 million yet doesn't make this list.

	nhrafan:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 23:15 GMT	10 points
	You know a quiz was hard when you get 50% and still score in the 99th percentile

	nendwr:	Apr 17th, 2010 at 23:35 GMT	-1 points
	Tiflis should be accepted for Tbilisi too...

	phibbyfan:	Apr 18th, 2010 at 04:17 GMT	2 points
	I've been to Japan twice and missed Tokyo. Embarassing... But I got 6 and still ended up in the 91st percentile! This was so much harder than I thought it would be!

	acool:	Apr 18th, 2010 at 05:15 GMT	-2 points
	There is no way that Tel Aviv proper has anywhere close to 2,275,000 people. The actual population is only around 300,000; Jerusalem, Israel's largest city, has 700,000. This quiz must be including all of the surrounding suburbs.

	bigturnip:	Apr 18th, 2010 at 11:57 GMT	5 points
	@acool, hence the title of the quiz being metro areas and not cities, if it were cities Tokyo wouldn't even make the list.

	davepro14:	Apr 18th, 2010 at 20:03 GMT	6 points
	As an American social studies teacher, I think that this type of tough quiz is what Sporcle is all about. Just because many of us don't immediately think of each of these cities, doesn't mean that they're insignificant. Remember, millions of people live in these metro areas! Consider this Sporcle an excuse/opportunity to look up a place like Taoyuan - the "Peach Garden" of Taiwan!

	this test truly takes terrific taiwanese thinking.

	Maybe at the top of the "World Metros for Letter" quizzes you can provide a link to the other quizzes of this category

	@BagelPopper: well done

	qtowndogg:	Apr 20th, 2010 at 15:10 GMT	3 points
	Wow, can't believe that Tampa's the only LARGE U.S. metro area beginning with a 'T'.

	transitfan:	May 11th, 2010 at 19:46 GMT	1 point
	I tend to think of Tijuana as part of the San Diego Metropolitan Area, but alright, fair enough.
