	I go to McGill. How random that that would be included here!

	DonnyB:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 04:19 GMT	49 points
	First time Cleveland has ever made the same list as Paris, London, and Rome.

	Chirpa:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 04:25 GMT	17 points
	Hollywood is actually part of Los Angeles.

	stjmarko:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 04:25 GMT	14 points
	Grauman's Theater should also accept Los Angeles, as Hollywood is technically not its own city, it is a neighborhood of Los Angeles

	mfel:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 04:28 GMT	9 points
	there is a Hermitage in Nashville...The home of Andrew Jackson..

	Niques:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 04:30 GMT	9 points
	Grauman's Chinese Theatre should definitely accept LA. Hollywood is not a city. Other than that, I enjoyed it! Would love a sequel.

	Thalia:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 04:34 GMT	3 points
	This is a nitpicky thing, but I was bugged by the lowercase "thes" (especially because some were capitalized... at least be consistent)! Otherwise, fun quiz.

Comment below threshold: show it

	deej:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 04:42 GMT	-3 points
	Yeah, Hollywood is not a real city, it all has Los Angeles addresses

	Lepio:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 04:48 GMT	25 points
	@livfred, no it's actually "van".

	sactoshc:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 04:51 GMT	0 points
	I loved this one. A big fist to the forehead for McGill because I've been there to visit and I couldn't come up with the answer for anything.

	SowCrates:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 05:00 GMT	6 points
	Hope Diamond...I have to thank Trey Parker for knowing where that one was.

	The_Goat:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 05:01 GMT	6 points
	I'm glad McGill is mentioned here... because I go there... and because I spend most of my lectures there on Sporcle.

	KyleB:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 05:17 GMT	2 points
	I'm glad it accepted Nashville. I was thinking of the wrong Hermitage...

	Eliot:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 05:18 GMT	12 points
	This is the type of quiz that got me interested in Sporcle when someone at work first showed Sporcle to me. It's a quiz that allows you to show what you know ... while also teaching you something. And it doesn't reward the ability to type a huge number of memorized names of nations and/or cities in a short time period!

	orbit:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 05:25 GMT	3 points
	If you're ever in Topkapı Palace's city, do check it out, it's amazing. Nice job on the dotless I there too, Booger!

	greeneyes:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 05:26 GMT	14 points
	I was really thrown off by "Saint Mark's." Perhaps the cathedral's actual name, San Marco, should be given, as it was done for other locations.

	agrigator717:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 05:27 GMT	1 point
	I have visited the Hermitage in Nashville so I'm glad Sporcle is accepting both answers!

	TimeAndTide:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 05:30 GMT	4 points
	I agree with you, Eliot, but you left something out: Not only does it allow you to show what you know, but it also allows you to figure out something you don't know by various clues. For example, I'd never heard of Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall, but the name had the same rhythm and feel as other Thai names (people, places, etc.) I've come across. So I guessed Bangkok and got it right. That was a cool feeling. The only ones I missed were Topkapi and Potala palaces ... and in hindsight, I think I knew Topkapi before.

Comment below threshold: show it

	RedLIon:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 05:57 GMT	0 points
	Wow. I'm really surprised that more people know of Topkapi than of the Potala palace.

	swellwrench:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 06:00 GMT	16 points
	Maybe everyone just noticed the dotless i, which is almost unique to Turkish...or maybe that was just me

	Jono_:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 06:23 GMT	1 point
	Memphis, Tennessee, I'm goin to graceland

	caramba:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 07:00 GMT	14 points
	Gor Last Supper (painting) I tried typing "every Italian house I've been to", but for some reason it won't accept.

	wilzo:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 07:44 GMT	8 points
	And there I was, guessing many Indian cities for the Star of India as the timer ticked by

	GrooGruxKing:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 07:46 GMT	2 points
	Very random that McGill is on here.

	Nolij:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 07:48 GMT	10 points
	More people recognized that Amsterdam is home to the Heineken HQ than Anne Frank. How sad.

	dannyfc4:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 07:51 GMT	1 point
	excellent quiz!

	janwillemvandijk:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 08:12 GMT	-2 points
	There is a Hermitage in Amsterdam as well. Good quiz.

	rhebus:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 08:23 GMT	7 points
	Berlin's Fernsehturm is not unique. Stuttgart has one too, and it's older!

	rhebus:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 08:28 GMT	1 point
	Oh, and it's just "Tower Bridge" not "the Tower Bridge".

	moley_15:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 09:15 GMT	0 points
	Thank you 30 Rock for getting me the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

	pmrk:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 10:28 GMT	2 points
	Nice bonus answer

	aoibhgreinemm:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 10:31 GMT	0 points
	excellent quiz, more please!

	cindy_lou35:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 10:45 GMT	3 points
	What is the bonus answer? There needs to be a way we can see them also.

	zeli:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 10:48 GMT	8 points
	lol @"Elvis Presley's grave (alleged)"

	Fish1987:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 11:03 GMT	-1 points
	Really liked this one, surprised so few people know where Hoa Lo was though.

	spuntz:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 12:01 GMT	1 point
	The city is called Den Haag or 's-Gravenhage ffs.
