	What hints? I definitely can't see any hints.

	The Alamo is located in San Antonio. A famous battle of the Texas Revolution was fought there.

	The pictures for Bangkok, Cape Town, and Mumbai are a little hard to tell what they are. Otherwise, good quiz.

	No love for Toronto? Where's the CN Tower?

	The Statue of Liberty, though technically within New Jersey's state borders, is actually an exclave of the city and state of New York and thus NYC is the correct answer.

	Correction: Everything above the water (the land and the statue) is property of New York and the land submerged under it are property of New Jersey. So if Lady Liberty sank into the harbor then Jersey City would be correct. Until then...

	So the only way the Statue of Liberty could be in New Jersey were if it were to become a big pile of trash? Makes sense to me...

	Didn't we already do a quiz very similar to this one? Some of these pictures look familiar.

	@Pedrocelli: As a Texan, I can tell you that The Alamo is a famous historical landmark due to its appearance in Peewee's Big Adventure.

	noname219: i watched something on china and japan one day and they said that the city of shanghai is so heavy that the land is sinking causing it to lean.

	just the 7 american cities then...

	It would have been nice to have less American and more global cities. Hong Kong skyline, Madrid, the Vatican etc

	I don't know how it is on other people's computers, but I tend to avoid these photo ones because I often simply cannot see what's in the pictures. I wish there was a way to make quizzes with pictures larger than postage stamps.

	fantastic quiz, great mix of cities!

	I think San Antonio and St Louis are a bit obscure to any non-Americans. Possibly the Atomium or EU building in Brussels, the Wawel in Krakow, the St Petersburg Hermitage, Hong Kong skyline or Marrakesh souk might be more interesting/gettable for the rest of the world.

	@VariousPeople: It's all about the landmarks! If you know what they are, you probably know where they are. The St Louis arch and Table Mountain aren't any more obscure than Mecca and Christ the Redeemer. If you know it, you know it. Which surely is what Sporcle is all about.

	Good quiz! I think it could have been improved by revealing the name of the landmark when revealing the name of the city, like "Moscow (St. Basil's Cathedral)." I'm sure others like me are eager to learn more about the ones we missed.

	For people that don't know that the Eiffel Tower is in Paris, Statue of Liberty in NY, the White House in Washington or Palace of Westminster (therefore Big Ben) in London and I can go on, well, I'll say it like this: c'mon ???? I do also agree that there are too many american cities. You could've included cities like Madrid/Barcelona, Copenhagen (Little Mermaid), Kuala Lumpur, etc. But what you've done here is a nice job.
