	Good quiz. Interesting how many of them are closer to someone else's capital than their own.

	Good quiz. Didn't realise San Francisco city proper was less than one million, which is surprising because its metro population is over 7 million!

	A very good quiz. I like it! But I don't think Cape Town (as one of three capitals in South Africa) should be there.

	Calgary has a population of 1,096,833 in the city proper according to the latest census, and it's quite far from any capitals!

	Yeah, Calgary should be added for sure. Fun quiz. I missed some obvious ones, but was surprised there weren't a bunch of random Chinese cities I'd never heard of (though India covered that).

	The closest capital for Karachi surprised me!

	I dont like having to guess which cities have large core populations and which dont. As paulio noted, San Francisco is less than a million in the city proper, but it is still in a different size class than San Antonio, Tijuana, C. Juarez and other much smaller metros that do. Please use metros for quizzes like this.
