Istanbul should be "Constantinople" in 1700. Just a nitpick though.

This source does not seem credible; it isn't plausible that Constantinople had a population of 700,000 in 1700 and less than a quarter of that a century later. According to this source http://geography.about.com/library/weekly/aa011201e.htm it should be 2nd in 1800. It would almost certainly have been somewhere in the top 10 in 1400 as well.

The thing is, in Turkey (or better say Ottoman Empire) Istanbul was called Istanbul in 1700's and 1800's...but since this is a test involving the cities' English names, it's fair. But Leningrad must be fixed for the 1950 :)

As said above, you put ee in the third column; experiment with whether you want to put the reason that it's a bonus in it, etc. And you mean "place 11 and so on" :)

Back to the Leningrad thing - it was Leningrad (as far as I understand) only during the USSR period, so 1918-1989 (more or less). Definitely wasn't Leningrad in 1800 or 1900, and definitely wasn't St. Petersburg in 1950. Great quiz, though.

Darn, if only I'd thought of Istanbul as well as Constantinople, I'd have got nearly all of them. Great quiz.

What happened to Paris in 1990? It was 4th in 1950 and 9th in 2009, and it's not even listed among the bonus answers in 1990. Also, St Petersburg was still known as Leningrad in 1990.

Because 1990 doesnt have a bonus yet, paris comes at eleventh place

Okay, 1) the Leningrad/St. Petersburg thing is still screwed up - it should be "St. Petersburg" in 1800, 1900, and 2009, and "Leningrad" in 1950 and 1990. 2) There are absolutely bonuses for 1990, and Paris isn't one of them. And it obviously had more than 2.01 million in 1990.

In addition, Constantinople was still the name until 1930, so that should be the name for 1900.

Oh, for St. Petersburg's name, it was St. Petersburg 1703-1914 and since 1991; it was Petrograd 1914-1924 (to de-Germanize the name during WWI), and Leningrad 1924-1991 (only after Lenin's death)

I typed in Wien for Vienna and it only registered as a 1990 bonus answer without registering for the other spots.

Another random Wikipedia quiz, the later dates are probably fairly accurate, but I doubt the pre 1900 answers are correct.

Yeah the bonuses look messy. Belgrade and Warsaw are typo'd and Madrid needs to be capitalized.

Gent for Ghent, perhaps? I'd have got 100% somehow if you'd accepted that...

Awesome quiz! I gave it a CP for population. And my challenge to one of my best friends ended in another tie! (We have a disproportionately large number of ties!) Thanks for added fun to my day, and another tie to this unusually stat!

You need to capitalise some of the stuff. For example, the St Petersburgs. Also, one of the bonus madrids isnt.

Please add Kyiv as an alternative spelling for Kiev, and correct all the mistakes listed above.

Great quiz, with the abovely mentioned caveat of capitalising letters. Also maybe change the column header from "'city'" to "city" and enter "cities" as a plural to make it a more fluent read.

Madrid in the 1700 bonus isn't capitalized.
