Hi, thank you for this quiz! Overall, I found it quite entertaining. However, I ran into complications figuring out some of the smaller towns that appear to be administrative districts or parts of larger entities and are thus a bit misleading—for instance, the suburban districts (Dumbea, Le Mont-Dore) around Noumea; the Blue Mountains towns (Katoomba, Leura, Wentworth Falls) near Sydney; the Hibiscus Coast (Silverdale, Orewa, Red Beach, Whangaparaoa) near Auckland; and Maunalua/Hawaii Kai/Koko Marina within Honolulu (I couldn’t figure that one out).
I think it would be perfect if the objects were consistent, or if at least the presence of other entities were somehow stated in the quiz description.
I think it depends how a census counts ‘cities’ – for Australia for example, I’m using ‘Urban Centres’ and ‘Localities’ from here:

Also that city on O’ahu. I tried everything, but it’s not working! It has 50,922 people.
That city does work, just tried it.
When I go to that area on Maps, nothing pops up. Also, there is a very difficult city on New Caledonia. I tried Comm. du Mont-Dore, but that didn’t work.
I can’t figure out the second city in the Solomon Islands. I had to use Google Maps, but that didn’t help
Shouldn’t Guam and Northern Mariana Islands be included? The largest village in Guam has almost 45,000 people, which I think is enough to make the Top 250.
I’m using CDP’s for populations in Guam – Dededo is under 10K for its CDP population.
Near Auckland is one city (60.400 habitants). Must be Silverdale, but don’t work. And everything else what I try (red beach, whangaparaoa, etc.) don’t work either.
Hibiscus Coast
Since you’re including Hawaii in this quiz, shouldn’t the Indonesian half of New Guinea also be included?
I’ll see if I can but I don’t have population figures for Indonesia cities between 10-50k so that’s why I left it off.
I get the geographical logic, in the same way Cayenne is a South American city, Noumea is in Oceania, and both are in France. But it seems pretty conventional, and somewhat justifiable, to count Hawaii as part of North America.
Anyway great quiz and great site as always!
Yeah some sites do have it as part of Oceania and I’m going to stick with that.
