I love that Ouagadougou was the first one I thought of. Please accept more variations for Ulanbataar! It's always such a pain trying to guess how the quiz-maker wants to spell it!

Hmm, almost all of these are capitals. The only ones that aren't are Zurich, Almaty, Santa Cruz, and Cochabamba. And of course, Almaty was a capital until 1997.

so I get cochbamba, santa cruz, ouagadougou and lusaka yet miss Vienna and asuncion. Thats what too much time on sporcle does to a person my mind can only think of obscure and remote places now.

I only had 15 before I time was up, but love this quiz. Fun to have this quiz 'dominated' by Bolivia with 3 cities. I guess that would be the first time.

I need to relearn geography. Go Baku to school, or summer Kampala. Maybe Prague to the Almaty for a better (Bel)grade on this. The only other thing that I can Addis Ababa lonian would probably be Yerevan times better at this than I.

Ulaanbaatar is mispelled. You can of course include variations of that in order to bring up the right spelling. Ulaan Bator is almost universally accepted as well.

First of all, I put Belegrade and Minsk, and it wouldn't take it. Second, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are not landlocked - they border the Caspian Sea.

What happened to Beijing? It is landlocked and has way more people than any other cities listed.

Missed Cochabamba and Santa Cruz... the Caspian Sea nearly got me too, but only for Baku and not for Almaty for some reason. Nice quiz though.

The title of this quiz is confusing. The title makes it seem like its asking for the largest landlocked cities, not largest cities in only landlocked countries. Mexico City, for instance, is a landlocked city, even though Mexico is not.

Hey people, if you think the quiz is broken, go back and read the instructions you decided not to read before taking the quiz.
Then
decide whether you should comment or not.

Also, saying Azerbaijan is not landlocked because it borders on the Caspian Sea is like saying Bolivia is not landlocked because it borders on Lake Titicaca. The Caspian Sea is a freshwater lake.
And yes, I just commented because I wanted to type "Titicaca".

Caspian Sea is saltwater, mate. But I'm all for typing "Titicaca" so I'll let you off the hook.

Why'd they have the dumb Ulaanbataar spelling?
