	Here, write any cities you think are very well known, but I have not made a valid answer. Also, help me correct any spelling mistakes, or suggest alternate spellings. Enjoy!

	manila has one l. also, where did you get this information? Just your opinion, or is it from a publication?

	newton:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 01:05 GMT		4 points
	Ottawa is misspelled.

	and more time please

	If you think that Yangon, Nanjing and Niamey are better known than Moscow, Prague and Nairobi, then you're a fool.

	um moscow??

	Geo_Crazy:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 01:55 GMT		0 points
	Not enough time for sure. Is there a source?

	Gjezman:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 01:56 GMT		1 point
	How is Moscow not on here??? Also spice this quiz up a little...good idea but boring

	Good grief - need more time...

	dtro:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 02:11 GMT		6 points
	This is stupid

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 02:11 GMT		5 points
	This quiz is not great for Sporcle, since many of us know way too many cities way too well for the results to be meaningful.

	scoripyo:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 02:19 GMT		8 points
	Some things to think about: Ottawa is spelled wrong, and you should make "Calcutta" be "Kolkata" instead, and accept Calcutta as an answer. Also, the city of Phoenix, AZ needs to be on here, as it is much more "Well known" than either Calgary, Nassau, Riga, Bern, Yangon, etc... And you have Bern, but not Zurich? Bern may be the capital, but Zurich is more widely known. As for Dakar and Niamey, they should be replaced with moscow and dublin. Lastly, is "Adan" supposed to be Aden, Yemen? If so, change that/get rid of it. Not a memorable city at all. Otherwise... Great quiz!

Comment below threshold: show it

	How is Perth on this list but not San Diego or Cleveland. I almost put Perth but I thought it was a stupid answer so I didn't. Oh well. More time?

	peterlockwood87:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 03:20 GMT		2 points
	Also, its Caracas

	eja82:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 03:23 GMT		2 points
	Atlanta- Coca Cola, Olympics, CNN etc.

	This wasn't so much of a clever quiz as it was a clever way to rapidly approach the top of the comments board.

	darcy:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 04:49 GMT		4 points
	i'm not sure if i get the point of this quiz. you have 3 minutes to name 97 cities. simply getting 97 cities typed in 3 minutes is nearly impossible, let alone trying to figure out which cities are "well known" and by whose standards. world-famous cities like prague and moscow are missing while obscure cities like nanjing and port-au-prince show up. i'm not sure if i get it.

	this is ridiculous Nashville, New Orleans, and Cleveland are pretty well known.

	hungryj0e:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 14:01 GMT		1 point
	this quiz has Niamey, Perth and Adan for example...yet Moscow isn't "popular" enough. Stupid quiz

	alexdanceboi1997:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 15:34 GMT		2 points
	These are cities you should of added: Moscow, Bucharest, Alexandria, Birmingham, Prague. Why did you list Havana, Port au Prince, Niamey, Perth?

	hadlocks:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 15:43 GMT		1 point
	2 more minutes would be good

	yellowcarpet:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 18:51 GMT		1 point
	Aden, Caracas, and Manila are the real names.

	yellowcarpet:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 18:52 GMT		1 point
	And Ottawa

	lood1234:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 20:18 GMT		1 point
	suggested Changes are made

	Germanus:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 21:05 GMT		0 points
	definitely more time please, 8 minutes total

	lood1234:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 22:30 GMT		1 point
	more time would defeat the purpose. I'm not asking you to name all the listed cities, I'm asking for, in your opinion, what are the best known cities in the world. read the description!

	stevoo:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 00:45 GMT		0 points
	no

	LaviniaB:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 00:59 GMT		-1 points
	Bucharest? Las Vegas? Ljubljana? Bratislava? Teheran? You also need to increase the amount of time by a lot and you need to accept alternative city names such as Napoli for Naples (as Napoli is the native name).

	park022:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 01:24 GMT		2 points
	not a great quiz, no source, but you know what, i had fun taking it so that's probably all that matters. i enjoyed it!

	peterlockwood87:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 02:34 GMT		1 point
	Couple of other things - you probably should add in Copenhagen and Brussels, and you've got st petersburg in there twice now.

	Hippo:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 02:35 GMT		0 points
	get rid of st. petersburg florida and Nanjing, add florence, bucharest, and las vegas, and i bet there are people out there who prefer saigon over ho chi minh city for the shown answer.

	Sjoerd:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 10:17 GMT		2 points
	this could be an evolving quiz, if you delete the 10 least guessed for a few consecutive weeks and meanwhile add the most suggested.

	lood1234:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 20:32 GMT		1 point
	@Sjoerd Yes, that's my purpose of this quiz It would be an ongoing process

	smarty:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 10:14 GMT		1 point
	sarajevo (bosnia&h) is pretty famous due to wars, geneva (switzerland) is more famous than bern i'd say... and nice (france) is more well known than a lot of the cities in italy that you put down like naples. even milan is more well known than naples

	Kalimantan:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 06:02 GMT		2 points
	Cities with famous football teams are some of the most well-known places in the world. hence I would surely add Manchester and Liverpool, UK, and Milan, Italy.

	awesomeguy2204:	Apr 18th, 2010 at 00:22 GMT		1 point
	this quiz is strictly a matter of your opinion. And depends on your location in the world. I live in Sydney, Australia and my opinions of well known cities would differ entirely from someone who lived in say London.

	lood1234:	Apr 29th, 2010 at 23:16 GMT		0 points
	I am speaking of cities that a high percentage of people worldwide (well, internet users) know.

	Peanut:	May 1st, 2010 at 21:34 GMT		1 point
	Las Vegas isn't on here? Pretty well known throughout the English-speaking world at the least.

	Squinta:	May 6th, 2010 at 23:05 GMT		1 point
	Three minutes is ridiculous! I'm a pretty fast typer and I could only get about 50. Not everyone is a speed typer. Double the time please.
