	Does Iceland count as Scandinavia? I think for Arhus, you should accept Aarhus (2 'a's as I think that is an alternative spelling in English.

	Molde isn't among these 20 ? Surprising ! The football made me wrong

	Technically, neither Finland nor Iceland is part of "Scandinavia". However, I believe that the inclusion of these countries makes the quiz more interesting. "Nordic Countries" would be the appropriate term for this grouping.

	Good quiz myo205, and I like your other similar ones too. @QuizKingJon, agree that Aarhus (common English spelling) should be accepted. @mercutiohk, per Encyc. Britannica: Finland is often considered a Scandinavian country in common English usage, and Iceland and the Faroe Islands are sometimes also included.

	I agree with mercutiohk, "Scandinavia" is an ambiguous term, most often it's used to refer to Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The term "Nordic countries" ("Norden" in Scandinavian languages) on the other hand is always used to refer to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland, and sometimes even Greenland. So even though "Largest cities of Scandinavia" is an acceptable name for this quiz, a better choice would be "Largest cities of the Nordic Countries". Just my two cents.

	You forgot Vantaa, the fourth biggest city of Finland.

	What's your source here? You seem to mix municipalities with urban areas or something, because this isn't very accurate.

	There are many ways to spell Gothenborg...

	Good idea for a quiz, but your information is so totally incorrect :) Turku has not been the third largest city in Finland for a very long time now and you totally missed Vantaa. This requires lots of adjusting.
