I'm not sure why two people apparently marked down Dexter's comment. It's right on; this quiz has potential, but a whole lot of answers require the country name, and London is a complete mess on here.

Need more time! When I had two minutes left, I hadn't even started on Europe or Asia. Also, in addition to London, Kinshasa, Chongqing and Guangzhou didn't work for me either. Like theologystudent said, this quiz has potential, but it needs some work.

i know you're using the wiki/UN list, but it's really the worst of the wiki population charts available. for whatever reason, the list gives the metro populations for some cities and the city proper population for others. for example, Seoul and Jakarta are much larger than Paris or Los Angeles metro-wise.

Krung Thep is the Thai name for Bangkok. By convention, Sporcle uses English names for cities, otherwise it would be a huge mix of languages. Please change it to read Bangkok on the answer. I didn't have enough time to get to South East Asia, so I don't know if you accept Bangkok as an answer or not. The time limit needs increasing.

Definitely agree on the more time comments...put it at least to 10 minutes! I ran out of time and I hadn't finished Asia, or even started Africa yet!
