	oops fixed thanks.

	Why did it blow up when I type in Syria? Damascus, the capital, isn't the largest city, Aleppo is.

	darinh:	Aug 15th, 2011 at 18:23 GMT		1 point
	@joseph: good catch - they are close, but Aleppo is bigger - added.

	You need to add Gambia as well. According to latest sources, Equatorial Guinea should at least be a "bonus" answer that doesn't trigger a mine, as Bata has taken over Malabo in terms of population in the meantime.

	darinh:	Aug 15th, 2011 at 19:48 GMT		1 point
	@magareto: thx - added both.

	Fiji shouldn't trigger a mine - according to the source, the town of Nasinu is larger than Suva.

	darinh:	Aug 15th, 2011 at 20:54 GMT		1 point
	Onno: yes Nasinu overtook Suva, corrected.

	I sense that you're not consequent regarding Brussels city proper definition - otherwise I love some of your quizzes.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Israel should also be accepted. Tel Aviv is larger than Jerusalem, the capital.

	RJMurphy:	Oct 30th, 2011 at 13:40 GMT		5 points
	@someonerandom Although the Ruhr is larger than Berlin, it is more of a region rather than a city, as it includes a few major cities like Essen, Köln etc. so I'd be inclined not to include it.

	Isn't Milan larger than Rome?

	DarkPhalanx:	Oct 30th, 2011 at 23:50 GMT		1 point
	@SomeoneRandom: Jerusalem is almost twice the size of Tel Aviv

	According to your source Muscat is not even on the top 10 largest cities yet Oman is a mine

	JayZed:	Nov 16th, 2011 at 13:11 GMT		1 point
	Why are people voting DarkPhalanx down and SomeoneRandom up (re Tel Aviv/Jerusalem)? DarkPhalanx is correct.

	I second the point about Brussels. I played back to back quizzes, with previous being the two largest cities per country in Europe, and there Brussels was the no.5 city. Here it's a mine. And for both you use city proper.
