	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?

	JoeFish:	Jun 2nd, 2010 at 05:55 GMT		3 points
	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.

	damn, i knew all (okay, all but one) of them, just not in the right order. good quiz but agreed with what has been said by mrnrjct and yourself. not sure how to so that

	Onno:	Jun 2nd, 2010 at 06:44 GMT		3 points
	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.

	rzb333:	Jun 2nd, 2010 at 17:00 GMT		4 points
	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 fourth this motion.

	sbelkoski:	Jun 2nd, 2010 at 17:50 GMT		4 points
	I disagree. If you don't have to answer it in order, then it just becomes "guess a bunch of big countries"

	phildm1:	Jun 2nd, 2010 at 18:10 GMT		1 point
	@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.

	LucasEwalt:	Jun 2nd, 2010 at 19:35 GMT		2 points
	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.

	cntower:	Jun 2nd, 2010 at 23:05 GMT		3 points
	also possibly list the metros of those countries.

	kristofferjay:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 00:43 GMT		6 points
	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.

	Rom:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 03:08 GMT		1 point
	You forgot to add Kyrgyzstan.

	LucasEwalt:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 16:28 GMT		1 point
	Much better with the changes. Went from 2 to 4 sporcle globs.

	holey101:	Jun 8th, 2010 at 19:54 GMT		0 points
	South Africa,Venezuela,France,Australia,Italy, Dem Rep of the Congo,Iraq, Argentina are bonuses

	abanazerb:	Jun 8th, 2010 at 21:06 GMT		2 points
	Thanks, good quiz. Should accept "DRC" (sporcle standard) for a bonus though.

	BobMarleyGirl:	Jun 8th, 2010 at 21:26 GMT		2 points
	Missed Iran & Nigeria. Good quiz!

	kristofferjay:	Jun 8th, 2010 at 23:14 GMT		1 point
	@abanazerb It does accept DRC.

	Sjoerd:	Jun 10th, 2010 at 09:42 GMT		2 points
	nice number of bonus answers

	tulliuscicero:	Jul 25th, 2010 at 19:23 GMT		2 points
	awesome, although seeing more bonus countries than actual answers gets a tad bit demoralizing.

	JoeIsCool:	Jul 24th, 2011 at 02:43 GMT		1 point
	Like the bonuses.

	Thryduulf:	Oct 17th, 2011 at 18:44 GMT		1 point
	About 16 bonuses and I miss Japan? It must be Sporcleitis.

	Kasil:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 18:16 GMT		1 point
	I got 11 bonuses. Gotta love it.
