created by darinh

Enter a city in the box below
Correctly named cities will show up below
Answers do not have to be guessed in order
Source: Various Sites for Population Data, World Gazetteer & Wikipedia for Lat/Long
Name all the 1M+ Cities (City Proper population)...when you enter a correct city all 1M+ cities within 500km of it will display. SEE NOTES BELOW.
NOTES - There are 56 1M+ Cities not within 500km of another city, these are also included and marked with a (*)...to get down to 300 answers I grouped the smallest 33 of these in 6 groups of 5 cities and 1 group of 3 for the answers, the remaining 23 largest you'll have to guess individually. Distances calculated via an Excel formula for distances between coordinates, where lat/long were obtained via World Gazetteer and Wikipedia. City populations are same ones used on my 7,500 largest world cities quiz.

	a new twist on the bordering countries idea - let me know your thoughts...I think 10 min is a good amount of time to make you hurry yet still give you a chance to think some. always appreciate 5-orbs, nominations, and comments!

	great idea. would love to see one for the states, with a smaller radius and smaller population. thanks for doing the research!

	If I remember correctly I didn't get Incheon for typing Seoul, and since they form one metro area... my apologies if this isn't the case.

	@Onno: fixed - must've accidentally deleted that entry in the spreadsheet or something.

	Good one. Rough, though. Didn't do nearly as well as I expected.

	Great idea! Did the US one, wondered if there were more, went straight to this one, and found it much harder. But so much fun! Thank you!

	Greatest quiz ever. I love city quizzes, and I love border blitzes. You just made the ultimate in both.

	My goodness gracious. Thanks for typing all that out. If you accept Calcutta, could you also Bombay?

	lukebradford:	May 29th, 2011 at 15:51 GMT		1 point
	Great quiz. How about one with capitals?

	adamnvillani:	May 30th, 2011 at 21:49 GMT		1 point
	How about Tripoli instead of Tarabulus? I would think Tripoli should probably be what it's listed as, with Tarabulus as an alternate.

	darinh:	May 30th, 2011 at 22:32 GMT		2 points
	adam: changed, thx. @luke: look for a capitals one soon.

	Great quiz, just one nit to pick. For Ciudad Juarez, can you just accept Juarez? Here in the States, I think that's what you most often hear it called.

	I really enjoyed this!!! Just one thing, Auckland definitely has more than a million people. I'm not sure what other population sites have been used though so...

	darinh:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 13:16 GMT		1 point
	yeah know about Auckland, however going to leave the population as is simply because although the Auckland City area is no longer, I want to be counting city propers, and 1.3M is the entire urban area.

	wert:	Jul 9th, 2011 at 01:26 GMT		1 point
	great quiz. For some reason its just really fun to type in all the cities that came up from previous answers!

	Kiss:	Aug 8th, 2011 at 22:56 GMT		1 point
	best quiz ive ever played

	Ulkomaalainen:	Oct 29th, 2011 at 04:40 GMT		1 point
	Maybe not according to your source, but Cologne (Germany) jumped the 1M in 2010.

	Pedant alert. If this using proper city borders, London shouldn't be here. The population given is for Greater London which is a ceremonial county (like, for example, Greater Manchester) and a government office region but not a city. It includes the cities of London and Westminster, neither of which have 1 million inhabitants. The only city using the administrative borders with over 1 million inhabitants in the UK is Birmingham which isn't an answer because the source is out of date.

	ronny_jubber:	Dec 16th, 2011 at 13:06 GMT		2 points
	There are a lot of other anamolies on the source. For example, the "cities proper" for Sydney and Melbourne do not have 1 million inhabitants: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Sydney http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_melbourne

	ronny_jubber:	Dec 16th, 2011 at 13:07 GMT		3 points
	Sorry, I never made my point, which is that these inconsistencies between what we perceive as cities and where the administrative boundaries lie is why I much prefer quizzes based on metro areas.
