If a country has a certain number of cities, you should be able to type that country into any of the spaces with that certain number.

I agree, but I couldn't figure out how to make the quiz accept that. Any advice?

I'm not sure if it's possible to do that without giving away all of the answers, but perhaps you could do something like the number followed by the continent? For example, 8 (Europe) would be UK, and maybe you could go (Middle East) and (Southeast Asia) for the two in the same continent? Just a suggestion. I liked the quiz a lot.

You could perhaps alphabetize the tied answers (only UK is out of order now) and state that in the description. The quiz is helpful enough as it is, with all the bonus answers.

This frankly does not need to be answered in order. Maybe the time might be reduced if the mandatory ordering is lifted.

Agree with ulashima - don't make this an order in answer quiz. Just cut the time.

I agree. There is no need to have an ordered quiz. The point is to find the countries with the most metro areas over 1 million. The point is not to find exactly in what order those countries go. Think about what you want to test in your participant.

I disagree. If you don't have to answer it in order, then it just becomes "guess a bunch of big countries"

@sbelkoski: big countries with decent sized populations. Or small countries that don't have their populations all in "one basket". I think unordered guessing is a good suggestion.

Not guessing in order would benefit this quiz a lot. All that happens now is people type in a country, copy it, and then type next and paste it into all the cells until it pops up. It would be much more enjoyable the other way.

It looks like the majority of comments indicate that the best solution is to make it an unordered quiz, so I did. To compensate for just guessing populated countries, I reduced the time to 3 min. Thanks for helping make the quiz better.

Nice work revising--I found the question to be, as described by phildm1, more interesting than I expected. I almost skipped Canada, thinking, lots of open space, before I remembered its cities.

Thanks, good quiz. Should accept "DRC" (sporcle standard) for a bonus though.

awesome, although seeing more bonus countries than actual answers gets a tad bit demoralizing.

About 16 bonuses and I miss Japan? It must be Sporcleitis.
