	Fun quiz. I'd cut the time by a few minutes.

	This was really cool. I'd also maybe cut the time a bit and also make it so that you have to guess specific answers. I got two by guessing the right place for the wrong picture.

	this is a great idea but very very hard. i could only get 3...

	The extents are waaay too large. Try zooming in a lot more so people can make something out. I doubt a lot of people know coastlines at all.

	Pretty cool. The only ones that were obvious to me were 1, 8, and 9, but I was able to get the rest through guess work.

	make a part 2 asap! one of the most fun quizzes i've seen in a while

	I found that I had way too much time to answer this. Only used a quarter of the time...

	enamez06: Try my new one - it's quite similar http://www.sporcle.com/games/lupin/touristpix

	Please accept Puget Sound for #3. I didn't realize it was asking for Seattle specifically.

	jmarshallg: Have added Puget Sound. Thanks for the suggestion. Anyone got anymore?

	Sweet quiz. A little less time, and force in order. I got Hong Kong when trying to guess Osaka.

	Sporcle AND Google Earth?! Today is a good day.

	I would include Rio de la Plata for Buenos Aires. And for that matter, isn't Montevideo right on the other side?

	lupin:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 00:36 GMT		1 point
	tjconn728: It already accepts Río de la Plata. I didn't include Montevideo as it's not on that map. Thanks for the suggestions though.

	I like the inclusion of Dubai with the man made islands in the shape of a world map.

	Awesome. I'd also love to see a part 2. I didn't find it totally impossible--the continents really helped.

	Great quiz. My only suggestion is that you specify that you are looking for a city name. I wasn't sure if you were looking for a city, country, river, wonder of the world or what.

	how the hell is any normal person supposed to know what the city of Osaka looks like from space?

	joebobs:	Jan 16th, 2010 at 03:55 GMT		1 point
	Great idea for a quiz, I look forward to a part 2. One criticism, could you change it to 'can you name these cities'? There were some (at first) where I was guessing other things, such as Bosphorus for Istanbul. Ah but I suppose that would affect question one, which isn't a city. Maybe just accept other answers then, so people can guess the geographical features as well.

	Great quiz. 10/12. Bring on part 2 please!

	With the amendments that have been made, I think this is now pretty good at accepting various answers. Great quiz

	very hard but a good quiz. The nile delta doesn't fit in though... the others aer all large cities.
