You put Honh Kong instead of Hong Kong. Change it quick! :p Apart from that, good quiz! Although I have a feeling I might have seen this before. Still, I like the presentation and everything. :)

Good quiz, but I think you may have forgotten Sydney -- I'm pretty sure it's bigger than Melbourne.

A part of my mind must have subconsciously switched "biggest city" for "capital"... how else to explain that I disregarded New York and tried Washington?

Is it a sign of over-sporcling when one gets all the Indian and Chinese cities, but not the European and North American ones?

I don't think you can include Delhi in this, since New Delhi (the capital of India) is part of the Delhi metropolis.

It's important to note that the title of the quiz is slightly misleading, as the given figures are that of metro areas and not of city propers; I'll be darned if the city of Boston houses over 4,000,000 residents!

You said "Population figures are given for metro areas" and Delhi and New Delhi are part of the same metro area. Delhi needs to be removed as an answer to this quiz. Also, what about Shenzhen, China? It's got around 5,000,000 people... or are you lumping it together with Hong Kong?

If New Delhi is removed then Delhi would still be an answer just with a lower population. I've just left it as it is because otherwise I would be making up my own population figures

San Francisco on Phoenix have larger metro ares than several of the US cities on this list. Shenzhen should be here too.

Agree with many commenters in that Phoenix and San Francisco, as well as Shenzhen, Chengdu, Nagoya, Johannesburg, Xian, Nanjing, Abidjan, Shantou, and Harbin, should be here. Just a hint: citymayors.com is not a very good source for populations. Citypopulation.de is much better.
