	I'm sad to say that for me, this quickly degenerated into a "guess as many major cities as possible" quiz.

	or New York, they say that is the most recognizable skyline in the world.

	Nicktroptopolis:	Jul 31st, 2009 at 19:37 GMT	8 points
	Perhaps that's why... Fair enough, a couple of others are pretty easy from the pictures if you know the landmark visible, but New York has so many world famous ones it would be pointless having it

	Very cool quiz, and glad you made it worldwide. How about a world leaders quiz with pictures? Of course it would get outdated fairly quickly!

	I'm not sure why only 55% of the people are getting Rio, the Jesus statue is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world, and so are the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur - only 25% there. Can't believe I forgot Dubai. Great quiz, I'd love to see more like this.

	Really good quiz. Despite having been to Frankfurt, I didn't recognize it.

	One of the best quizzes on here! Superb! Hoping a 2nd version is soon to come.

	Nice one! Enjoyed this one, more like it please!

	I definitely need to travel more! Yeah, I could have just guessed cities, but I decided to just quit after getting the ones I knew. Great quiz!

	I looked up spoiler in the dictionary. There was a picture of GeoExpert.

	Fun quiz, and very challenging. Only reason I knew Kuala Lumpur was from seeing the film "Entrapment". :)

	Good quiz, this needs sequels!

	C'mon, give St. Louis SOME credit. The Arch is an American icon.

	@ weizenugb: Sporcle consists of mentally STIMULATING diversions... Chicago represents a no-brainer in this situation, and thus does not merit inclusion.

	i love the fact that this quiz leaves out some of the most recognizable (obvious) skylines and that it includes some lesser known ones (albeit from major cities). i didn't bother going into random guess mode because i figured this quiz was designed to discourage that.

	wow, ive been waiting for this quiz for such a long time - great work. Definately looking forward to sequels. There are definately more recognizable shots of the Seoul-Skyline (didn't get it although being there 2 months ago) And HongKong definately has the most beautiful Skyline in the world. Please more!

	Loved this one! Glad it was worldwide. I got about half then started guessing random world cities and got a few more. Can't believe I missed San Francisco...

	Wales:	Jul 31st, 2009 at 20:55 GMT	9 points
	I think the pictures need to be bigger, but otherwise, this is a great one.

	@GeoExpert: 1. Thank you for stating the obvious. 2. Please stop deleting and reposting comments just because people are voting you down.

	For those suggesting that New York and Chicago would have been too easy, did you happen to notice Paris there? Can't be much easier than that. My guess is that there will be a sequel and some of the "classics" are being saved for that.

	LOVE this quiz! Echo the sentiments of others who want sequels.

	Disclaimer:	Jul 31st, 2009 at 21:03 GMT	10 points
	You probably should have to enter the city name in the correct box. I mistakenly typed "Singapore" when I meant to type Kuala Lumpur, and so got credit for it. I didn't actually know Singapore. Otherwise it degenerates into just typing big cities.
