	Fun quiz, but the time seems awfully long for what we're doing. And I'm one who rarely says the time is too long...this might be the third time in 3700+ quizzes.

	I didn't scroll down for enough to see the last two rows. Oops.

	The source cited says Lagos has a higher population than London, yet the quiz disagrees. I'm not saying whether the source or the quiz is wrong, but one of them is.

	@maxmallanite- seriously? troll much? clearly you commented on "constantinople" and "saigon" just to see how many negative votes you get, right?

	I voted him up just to try and keep him at one.

	Only one I got wrong was Lagos, but was pretty certain about that being humungous, but there you go.

	Osaka has only less than 3 mil people while HK has 7. Sure something is wrong

	Surely Constantinople was also a name-change-by-diktat? Yes - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul#First_settlements - it 'should be' Byzantium, or maybe Lygos-Semistra. If you want to be an awkward know-all, check your facts!

	@MaxMallanite, should New York City still be called New Amsterdam?

	Looked into the London-Lagos error and it is now fixed.

	@chrono: That's because of the "metro" in the quiz title.

	Paris just missed out at #26.

	Since Constantinople was also being called Istanbul in the 15th century, and New Amsterdam was turned over to the English in the 1670s, I think Tony A has a point Max. That point being you're an idiot.

	A lot of people love to go to Bangkok...

	can i just point out it says in the title that it is the top 25 populous metros and there are only 24 correct answers

	mselby:	May 3rd, 2012 at 17:03 GMT		1 point
	@BladeSword122 Looks like there was still a problem with Lagos. Fixed now.

	Normally in these kind of quizzes I mess up early so the pressure is off to get the perfect score. This time I actually had 24 right and had to pick one last one. Pressure was on. I choked of course. Went with Kinshasa over Buenos Aires.

	Messed up on Hong Kong because I didn't see Guangzhou, and thought they would be grouped together...

	Love the URL.

	^thanks for pointing out the url, with the new Internet Explorer 9 I can't even see that far over on URL without scrolling.

	Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks...

	Sorry, but despite the quiz maker's original request I'm going to have to make a comment about citypopulation.de: I've seen too many errors on it to trust it as a source. Sporcle admin rejects Wikipedia as an unreliable source, but accepts CP which is probably much less reliable.

	lotrnerd314: There is no way Hong Kong and Guangzhou would be grouped together. They don't touch, and you need to go through border control and customs to get to one from another.

	You might put Houston (4th largest city in the US) to throw some more people off. Once I found Chicago (3rd largest in the US) was wrong, that easily eliminated every other US city.

	@MaxMallanite: Istanbul WAS Constantinople, now its Istanbul not Constantinople. Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks. Istanbul! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vankaSlfSr0

	@texasheat: it's metros not city propers. Houston is not the 4th largest metro area in the US. Either way, I think the collection of wrong answers is good. Most Americans (on sporcle) know Chicago is the 3rd largest US city and would follow the same process as you did, so the other US cities regardless of what they are should be easily eliminated.

	For what it's worth I think Saigon is just better sounding than its modern counterpart, 'Ho Chi Minh City' is an especially bad name in my opinion, I hope they revert to the previous name whenever the communist regime ends in Vietnam (as I think all communist regimes will eventually end), the sooner the better
