	It's "their" second largest cities, not "there"

	grammar mistake in the title. a little easy. too much time given. but still a really great concept and quiz.

	jujuju:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 04:29 GMT		0 points
	I am open to any suggestions on improvement.

	Ibarez:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 04:38 GMT		1 point
	Difficult in spots. You might add 2-4 more and keep the time the same. Really good quiz.

	Or you could ask not for the country but for the larget city. Makes it a bit more tricky. Otherwise the time is too much. And put in some more "obscure" countries.

	Got the first 32 within a minute then got stuck on Venezuela for the remaining 4 mins and didn't get it. D'oh!

	"Saint" totally threw me, as I nearly always see it written as "St Petersburg" d'oh

	This was a lot of fun. Thanks.

	Not a particularly challenging quiz IMHO. Only Venezuela and Argentina really threw me off. If you did like random African countries and island nations and Kyrgyzstan it could be really hard...

	Looks a lot like you just reverse engineered a quiz i put up a month ago.[http://www.sporcle.com/games/dlte/2nd_cities_world_countries] Another thing, Yokohama is the second largest city in Japan, not Osaka. (Yokohama pop: 3,654,427 \| Osaka pop: 2,643,805).

	Very easy, with only one or two exceptions - naming the second largest city given the country would make for more of a challenge.

	pablo2743:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 15:19 GMT		-1 points
	great idea, after the first 12 it got harder

	Norway91:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 18:37 GMT		1 point
	Love the concept. I got stuck on "Gothenburg" though, it sounded German or something. You might want to add "Göteborg" to it, as this is the form used in Scandinavia and many european countries. otherwise a good quiz

	Psycho:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 19:21 GMT		1 point
	@Norway91: This quiz is in English, so I see no reason why that should be done.

	abanazerb:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 20:14 GMT		1 point
	Great idea for a quiz, but, as others have said, it's too easy at the moment (just look at your "% answered" barchart - far too top-heavy!). Why not mix about 10 hard ones in, and with the current time limit that should make a good, challenging quiz.

	kevincrumbs:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 21:58 GMT		0 points
	Too easy. Either put more "obscure" countries or at least make people name the second largest city in each country.

	ffi:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 00:23 GMT		0 points
	I agree. Some more African countries would have been appreciated. And Kyrgyzstan (second largest city is Osh, with a population of 208,520).

	jujuju:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 02:16 GMT		1 point
	Thank you for your comments. Added a few difficult countries. Enjoy!

	redsimba88:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 04:29 GMT		0 points
	I would personally love a quiz for all the countries. That'd be a nice challenge.

	Apollo846:	Apr 8th, 2010 at 05:06 GMT		1 point
	I think it would be better if countries that are close to each other geographically aren't right by each other on the quiz. Like France, Sweden, Finland, and Poland are all right in a row and they're all in the same little corner of the world. As others have said throw in a few less obvious ones and mix them up a bit...

	cape town is the largest city in south africa, no the second largest

	HER:	May 8th, 2011 at 11:14 GMT		1 point
	Along the same lines, Osaka is not the second largest city in Japan, Yokohama is.

	Beefchop:	Mar 14th, 2012 at 16:11 GMT		1 point
	Good concept for a puzzle. It's "cities", not "citys".

	monkeysauce1201:	Sep 9th, 2012 at 22:46 GMT		1 point
	For France it should be Marseilles not Lyon even though they are both listed because it is never stated that the list contains the second largest metro area just city, which is always Marseilles.
