4,000 wasn't enough? Ok, here's the 7,500 largest cities in the world, grouped by 25 cities and sorted by population. MAY RUN SLOWLY on slower computers/browsers - use Chrome or Opera if you can.
NOTES - Populations are very current for almost all countries. Populations are of CITY PROPER - not metropolitan areas, as this may double count. If I missed any common alternative place names let me know, but I can't use too many due to the limits on the data field sizes, also a reason I needed to abbreviate just a handful of cities, which may fill in early. Enjoy!

	How much time did you take to make this. I made largest A cities for every country, and was too lazy to make anything even that big again...I respect your perseverance here. If anyone is interested here's my quiz. http://www.sporcle.com/games/Sixtytwobobs/aaaaaaaaa

	Unbelievable quiz, just... unbelievable. Have you got the full list you used? It would be interesting to see where some of the more obscure answers I put in came up.

	kezmicdust:	May 27th, 2011 at 08:27 GMT		1 point
	Amazing quiz. I'm not sure how easy it is to work out if you've missed a place or if we've just guessed a city in that bracket before.

	darinh:	May 27th, 2011 at 12:25 GMT		5 points
	@Sixty: to make it was very quick, creating the data rows to import in Excel takes just a few minutes. the time waster was pulling in data from the various population sites into the spreadsheet. @Cryptus: i have a giant Excel sheet. @kezmicdust: the data for almost all countries is within a couple years, but as Sproclers know population data can vary so obviously there could be discrepancies.

	I am overwhelmed. You must have been too. You need a job. :P

	Imperium:	Jun 8th, 2011 at 16:31 GMT		2 points
	Incredible. Got to say you get to the point of just tapping in random cities after a bit (having gone through the obvious ones, most world capitals and most US state capitals, I resorted to tapping in random British placenames, provinces from Risk and EUIII and eventually random historical cities on the off chance someone named a city after that (and had to burst out laughing when Troy worked)).

	giraki:	Jun 9th, 2011 at 12:57 GMT		4 points
	Should really accept diacritics in the names, 'malmo' is almost physically painful to write as a Swede.

	jacana:	Jun 9th, 2011 at 18:54 GMT		3 points
	fab! I need to get a faster browser though!

	Fantastic job as usual. Great stuff.

	lijonathan154:	Aug 24th, 2011 at 04:08 GMT		3 points
	There are several more cities you can abbreviate: "Newcastle" instead of "Newcastle upon Tyne", "Southend" instead of "Southend-on-Sea", "Aix" instead of "Aix-en-Provence", "Boulogne" instead of "Boulogne-Billancourt", "Vitry" instead of "Vitry-sur-Seine", "Champigny" instead of "Champigny-sur-Marne", and probably alot more.

	Norwegian_dude:	Aug 28th, 2011 at 23:09 GMT		1 point
	It's an amazing quiz. Thank you so much for sharing! Funny with all those two- or three-letter cities that just pops up. For instance: Typing "Boise" gives you the cities of Bo and Ise!

	antiloopje:	Jan 19th, 2012 at 10:16 GMT		1 point
	Some Belgian (Flemish) cities are only given by their English/French name: Gent instead of Ghent, Kortrijk for Courtrai, Brugge-Bruges, Leuven-Louvain, Mechelen-Malines, Aalst-Alost, Sint-Niklaas - Saint Nicolas, Oostende - Ostende. I guess that's all. Great job btw!
