	For Somalia Hargeysa can also be spelt Hargeisa

	Pit_trout:	Jul 5th, 2010 at 13:52 GMT	2 points
	For Serbia, Novi Sad can also be spelt Novij Sad. Awesome quiz, though — must have taken a lot of time/research to make!

	Gazimağusa for Cyprus? Really? http://www.world-gazetteer.com/wg.php?x=&men=gcis&lng=en&des=wg&geo=-59&srt=npan&col=abcdefghinoq&msz=1500&pt=c&va=&srt=pnan

	You should accept Osh for Os (Kyrgyzstan). And Mexico's second largest city is spelled Ecatepec.

	Onno:	Jul 5th, 2010 at 17:01 GMT	3 points
	You should accept Esch sur Alzette, or just Esch alone.

	HiddenPalace:	Jul 5th, 2010 at 17:43 GMT	3 points
	This is an interesting quiz. There may be a lot of alternate spellings for many of these places.

	Sesel:	Jul 5th, 2010 at 20:44 GMT	2 points
	How about some more time?

	ckrubin:	Jul 5th, 2010 at 21:21 GMT	3 points
	Thanks - I have made all suggested changes. I will add alternate spellings as they are requested in the comments.

	Accept Santiago for Santiago de Cuba.

	cantthinkofaname:	Jul 6th, 2010 at 01:15 GMT	3 points
	Funny, I got 3 answers while typing in other answers. (Os, Bo, and Mu'a) of course only 1 was a correct answer so lucky me twice. ******** Also, isn't Muscat the capital of Oman?

	wolofsky:	Jul 6th, 2010 at 03:35 GMT	2 points
	Good quiz - please accept Kharkov for Kharkiv. Also, when I typed Bangalore for India (wrong answer) it auto-inserted Delhi.

	ckrubin:	Jul 6th, 2010 at 05:15 GMT	3 points
	I decided to accept Bangalore because Delhi felt like a bit of a trick, New Delhi being the capital, but also being a part of Delhi. This way, you can get credit whether you think Delhi should count or not.

	cantthinkofaname: Os for Osaka, Mu'a for Munich? Yeah, same. I also love the name of CAR's second largest city.

	Hazl:	Jul 12th, 2010 at 12:30 GMT	1 point
	Also, how many got Durban because of the World Cup?

	steelwolf:	Jul 12th, 2010 at 15:51 GMT	1 point
	I did embarassingly badly. Only got 21 (2 of which were Os and Mu'a, for the reasons mentioned above), and I missed Rio, for crying out loud!

	Zak6009:	May 18th, 2012 at 18:48 GMT	1 point
	Wow, only got 31, but it's nice to learn all these places... especially some of them with some names that would make some westerners laugh: Ganja, Bimbo, Split, San Francisco (CR), All Saints (I guess St. John is bigger than all of them together)... also I'm surprised I've NEVER heard of the Mexico one. Not Guadalajara, Oaxaca, or Tijuana you sure?
