	Summary of Fail points: 1) Abysmal spelling. 25 points. 2) Attempt at humor that falls flat. 15 points. 3) Lame attempt to link to his own unrelated quiz. 40 points. 4) Listing the wrong URL as the link to his own unrelated quiz. 1500 points. Total fail points for Theking001: 1580 points. That's a new Sporcle record!

	didn't seem to accept 'gdansk' for me (although not sure how 2.5% would have got it anyway)

	Duke_of_Prunes:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 19:21 GMT	10 points
	It accepts "Danzig", that's why :)

	My geography is really fuzzy, I always thought Moscow as on the Asian side of the continent. Back to reading Rand-McNally!

	How is Dublin not on this list?

	frozon:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 19:28 GMT	6 points
	There's Xanten, Germany with 21.531 but 5x5(x5) is nicer! ;)

	Ireland:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 19:30 GMT	10 points
	Thought it would be better. Seems more like a guess the biggest cities in Russia!!

	@donarvon: Dublin and Lisbon are just missing out!

	nearlyextinct:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 19:31 GMT	30 points
	Shouldn't The Hague count as 'H'?

	Penny:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 19:33 GMT	17 points
	I liked this quiz a lot. It would be good to accept variants, such as Gdansk and Koln.

	legriff:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 19:35 GMT	16 points
	Agreed, The Hague is really suspect for the 'T' list, especially as it's Den Haag in Dutch. Also, can you allow just Jerez for Jerez de la Frontera please?

	btroup1:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 19:44 GMT	8 points
	What I find interesting is the way in which some Nations crack this list. For the most part, all the capitals are here; however, Belgium's capital is not. Belgium cracks the list in the A's. Same can be said for Switzerland and Portugal (the capital portion of the point, not the A portion).

	dutchbear:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 19:51 GMT	7 points
	Welllll... what a fun quiz though 30 minutes would have been better. Quimper in France should be in there, surely. And it is weird to list The Hague (my home town!) under T. H would have been better, or better still DEN HAAG as it is called properly. Or even 's-Gravenhage (with a G!) Funny that the entire top 5 Dutch cities is in there anyway.

	Jyväskylä and Dnepropetrovsk make spelling Kyrgyzstan look like child's play.

	rapter_jebus:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:02 GMT	0 points
	Did not accept Volgograd for me

	JC3:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:05 GMT	5 points
	Cardiff is like 800 people short of being on this list :(

	jakegibbo:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:07 GMT	10 points
	Accept Dnipropetrovsk maybe?

	dutchbear:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:11 GMT	1 point
	Grrrrr infuriating: Rostov-on-Don is accepted but just Rostov or properly Rostob na Donu is not. Also: where are the big cities of the UK, surely Leeds has more people than 502,000. And so does Lyon in France I think. Anyhoo, flawed but entertaining nonetheless. Next time just EU countries please...

	Acronicta:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:12 GMT	5 points
	@Cerekk: What's so difficult with Jyväskylä? Here's a mnemonic: "grain-s-village" Easy, isn't it? (At least for a Finn). Two corrections: could you allow also the spelling Dnipropetrovsk? That seems to be the primary English spelling, at least in Wikipedia. Also, the quiz registers Nizhny Novgorod only as "Nizhny", when I tried Novgorod first and added Nizhny in front, it would not take that. That should surely be corrected.

	youppiinamerica:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:17 GMT	3 points
	nizhnIy novgorod. You forgot to put the I in.

	Commodore:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:20 GMT	20 points
	C'mon, c'mon. We are all waiting with fingers ready to click the down arrow for the winner who whines about this quiz being too "Euro-centric"....

	delToro87:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:23 GMT	13 points
	Good fun, but very difficult, all those (to non-Russians anyway) obscure Russian cities, even if you knew them they're nigh on impossible to spell! Was great to see York pop up though!

	demonstah:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:27 GMT	14 points
	Many issues with only accepting accented letters, and not accepting common English variants (Gdansk needed the accented n, though Danzig was accepted; Archangel not accepted, etc.) Would be a wonderful quiz otherwise.

	midlifecrisis:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:40 GMT	5 points
	Epic fail on my part - I finally got to know the European countries through sporcle, now I need to get to know the cities.

	jessbowen:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:51 GMT	-2 points
	I was surprised that Venice didn't make the list. Is there anyone besides me who always remembers Krakow from the Calvin and Hobbes strip? (this was the best link to it I could find: http://community.livejournal.com/ljdq/144720.html )

	peanut4:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:53 GMT	-2 points
	Great quiz. Reckon it should accept Dnepr though.

	Duke_of_Prunes:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:58 GMT	9 points
	"nurnberg" or "nuernberg" should be accepted for Nuremberg... also, Ekaterinburg, another acceptable transliteration, should be accepted for Yekaterinburg.

	Duke_of_Prunes:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 20:59 GMT	4 points
	The Dnepr is the river that runs through Dnepropetrovsk. So I disagree, it shouldn't be accepted :)

	jonesjeffum:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 21:03 GMT	1 point
	typed in oslo but it didnt accept it dnipropetrovsk should be an accepted spelling

	Hermes76:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 21:12 GMT	-4 points
	its not bad, but a lot of the Russian cities like Astrakhan are clearly in Asia. You should have substituted some turkish cities like Ankara and Izmir instead. Also you should state if Anglicized or local spellings are accepted as I put Zaporizhzhya (Ukrainian) and Zaporozh'ye (Russian) and it refused both. Also I think some of your stats are wrong, as I am sure Marseille and Dublin both have well over a million. Are you areas exclusive of different city councils or something.

	Hermes76:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 21:13 GMT	-2 points
	the fact I only got 52/123 and still got in the top 2% says something about how harsh your quiz is.

	Magnificent geography quiz, one of the most deceptively challenging. @Journey 2688,maybe when you have written as many fine published quizzes as rockgolf you'll earn the right request his silence. No need to be rude.

	France:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 21:34 GMT	3 points
	I didn't realize Zurich had so few people, for it being such a major center of finance.

	kidcanada:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 21:39 GMT	6 points
	Once it accepted Cologne as a "C" (as opposed to Koln as a "K") I knew I would have trouble.

	Lauro:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 22:14 GMT	2 points
	Quedlinburg and Quickborn should be on the list, but great quiz!
