Many of the biggest Polish cities like “łódź” “Wrocław” “Gdańsk” not working.
Working for me – make sure it’s the biggest city in the square you are trying to answer…only the largest city in each square is an answer.
this was hard for a non english native
The Russian city of “Sirius” (as it is saved in-game) appears as “Adler” on both English and German Google Maps. I have found that a part of Adler is called Sirius, as there are a lot of places with Sirius there. However, it is within city borders of Adler still
I think per http://citypopulation.de/en/russia/places/krasnodar/03731__sirius/ the Russian census considers it as Sirius.
all of that coast area (Adler etc.) is part of Sochi, it’s a very long city
however Sirius became a separate town recently (in 2020)
What is the city west off Karlstad and northern off Lidköping in sweden??
Why can’t I see all missed cities as a premium user but only the biggest 25?
none of my quizzes show all missed answers, there’s always a limit (unless you have fewer missed answers than the limit in which case you see them all). it lessens cheating and encourages replays.
Why do cities in this quiz have different population counts compared to other quizes? For example Amsterdam in this quiz has 872757, but on world 50K+ city coverage quiz it has 1114745. Is it because on 50K+ city quizes you are including 10-50K population suburbs?
i changed how the Dutch cities were totaled – will be updating it in the Europe quizzes before long.
London for instance is also different: it shows up as 8992166 in this quiz, but in the world 50k+ city coverage it is 9088994. I haven’t looked at other cities, I just noticed these 2. I presume this change also affected the UK?
yep these differences will be fixed soon when I update all the Euro 10k+ cities
good quiz but not enough time
What is the largest city in the northern coast of lake Ladoga between Impilahti and Vitele? I typed Pitkäranta which is the only city above 10k population in the square but it didn’t work. The name of the city should be the same in Russian and Finnish.
it’s Pitkyaranta in Russian
For the “Benelux” square, the answer was Brussels. This is incorrect as Amsterdam has more than double the population.
Amsterdam city proper is a bit less than Brussels. Urban area maybe, but all my city quizzes use city proper populations based on citypopulation.de figures.
so many cities not working …. just giving example of Brno, 2nd largest in Czech Republic …….
you are only answering the largest city in each square
How is it showing Oslo and Copenhagen population over 1million but not Helsinki. These are all pretty similar size cities… Obviously using the metro population for Oslo and Copenhagen but only city proper for Helsinki… Smh.
city populations are from citypopulation.de…countries have different ways of defining what they count as a city and different ways of counting populations for larger ones…Denmark and Norway tabulate totals for “urban areas”
