	I did WAY better than I expected.

	Great idea! I like your selection of stations -- enough to give good hints for ones we might not know immediately, but not enough to take away all the challenge. Here's hoping your publication roll continues. :)

	Great quiz - I relied a lot on history and languages. San Francisco totally fooled me...I probably typed every Central American capital I could think of because of the Castro clue. Oh well, nice to see T.O. made the list - I was on it today!

	Agreed that "Avienda" should be "Avenida". Bloor-Yonge threw me off because it sounded Dutch to me, haha. Great quiz though, quite enjoyable.

	gameboyguy13:	Feb 24th, 2010 at 05:42 GMT	1 point
	@JohnnyBarman yeah it's named after José Castro, a Mexican governor of California (pre-annexation by the US).

	Good job - reminds me of a similar one I did based on streets. I think you selected a very good range.

	Is it just me or are the Singapore stations a bit vague? It's one of the only cities I've been myself, yet none of them sounded familiar.

	Wheres Ozzie guys, how about these two Redfern, Townhall, Parramatta, Sydenham and Southern Cross, Flinders Street, Sunshine, University, Carlton. Strewth cobber, South America but not us.

	I slightly disagree with Esme. I think that "Times Square", "Smithsonian" and "Tiananmen" are a little too easy - otherwise good idea and great quiz :)

	What about Glasgow's "Clockwork Orange"? Its the third oldest underground in the world

	@Onno: Harbourfront is a relatively new station, as it's on the North-East Line, which only opened in 2003. Choa Chu Kang is in the middle of nowhere, so you probably wouldn't have heard of it if you weren't there for a long time. Dhoby Ghaut is one of the oldest stations in Singapore, right on Orchard Road, but is only becoming more important now that it's an interchange for the North-South, North-East and Circle lines

	Got all but 2! Great quiz. Singapore and Buenos Aires tricked me.

	Knew washington because of Fallout 3 :D Great quiz, keep up the good work!

	There's got to be better clues than "Hauptbahnhof" for Munich, practically every German city has a Hauptbahnhof.

	weizenugb:	Feb 24th, 2010 at 14:02 GMT	5 points
	Really amazing quiz!! I don't mind the "Hauptbahnhof" for Munich. It's true that practically every German city has one (it just means "main station"), but the clue simply tips you off to the fact it's a German city, and you can use the others to narrow it down. I like it. Great quiz (and good city selection)!

	@Catherine_F: and Vienna too

	Did "Avenida De América" throw anyone else off? I was expecting a city in the Americas.

	@Astmakameli: You should have seen our metro center station when Fallout 3 came out. Every flat surface had an ad for the game.

	Patricio:	Feb 24th, 2010 at 16:25 GMT	2 points
	It's "Avenida de Mayo", great quiz ;)

	Great quiz, but Castro actually isn't a stop on San Francisco's BART. It stops in the district, but the station isn't called Castro. Although I suppose "24 St Mission" wouldn't help much.

	Mornington Crescent!

	Very good quiz. Maybe less time though

	Having also been to Singapore (my baggage claim to SIN is still a prized possession), I got it based on the languages, not the stations. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think those are one each of the three major languages of the country.

	Castro's Aide #1: But presidente, America tried to kill you! Fidel Castro: Ah, they're not so bad. They even named a street after me in San Francisco! [Aide #2 whispers something into his ear] Fidel Castro: It's full of what?

	Is it me, or are the NYC station names kinda boring. I mean not the ones on the quiz, but the station names as a whole. compared to London (e.g. Elephant & Castle), or Paris (e.g. Stalingrad), 34th St or 59th St just sounds boring. Good Quiz BTW

	jcb9:	Feb 24th, 2010 at 18:21 GMT	1 point
	Looks like this has already been pointed out, but there's no Castro station in San Francisco - either on BART or on the Muni Metro system.
