	You need to fix some problems here. First of all, let's avoid yet another discussion about the definition of 'Scandinavia'. Change the quiz title to something along the lines of 'Can you name the largest cities in the Nordic Countries?'. Second: Use the language-specific characters, i.e. ö, ä und å. And, finally, change the typo in 'Jyvaskla'. It's 'Jyväskylä'. Thank you.

	The cities are listed by country, so it shouldn't be too confusing regarding what my definition of Scandinavia is. Also, most people don't know how to do the language specific characters, and I have alternate spellings for the cities that need it.

	Except your definition is wrong. Scandinavia is a peninsula, of which only Denmark, Norway, and Sweden are a part of it. You are thinking Nordic countries, which include Finland and Iceland. Those most certainly are not Scandinavian countries and citizens of those (or at least Finland; I don't know any Icelandic people) would be offended to be called Scandinavian.

	Zlange123, sorry, maybe I did not express myself clearly. I did not mean to imply that YOUR definition of Scandinavia is unclear - what was trying to say is that other "Scandinavia" quizzes often led to endless discussions in the comment section, e.g. "Scandinavia is only Norway, Sweden and Denmark" - "No, it also includes Finland" - "No, it's only Norway and Sweden because they're on the Scandinavian peninsula" - "Iceland should be counted in as well", etc. ... To avoid that, I suggested you had the name changed to "Nordic Countries", because people normally wouldn't argue about the definition of that one.

	@bsd987 I completely agree with you about which countries make up Scandinavia and which make up the Nordic countries. I do have to correct you a bit though, Denmark is not a part of the Scandinavian peninsula, but Norway, Sweden and parts of northern Finland are :)
