World Closest 1M+ Agglomeration Random Location Challenge

The object of this quiz is to name to closest World 1M+ agglo to each purple marker that appears. When you begin the quiz you will be placed in a random location within a continent and between 60 North and 55 South latitude (might be over a body of water, but won't be over an ocean) which will be denoted by a purple marker. Name the closest 1M+ World agglo to this marker by typing in the main city/agglo name followed by a '.' (period). You will then be given a score up to 100 (100 being the closest 1M+ agglo) based on how far away your agglo is in relation to how far away the closest one is. You get 25 agglos for a maximum of 2500 points. If you name a agglo that has the same name as another possible answer, don't worry - the closest agglo of that name will be chosen.

Tracking country completion doesn’t seem to be working right now.

Probably double tracking some things, I have gotten all 5m+ cities with an A, but it shows just 4/8

Hmm I would reload the quiz – there are only 4 cities of 5M+ with an A and that’s what it’s showing on my side.

Muscat city proper is actually under 50K. The urban area is much larger, but my city quizzes use city proper.

You really need to accept more alternate spellings.

Every letter has several cities with alternate spellings. One example is Hosakote. Google maps and Wikipedia spell this as Hoskote. The only place I find it spelled with an a is in my missed answers on this quiz. There are too many to list for every letter of the alphabet.

I’ve tried Dhashta Hawlir/Desta Hewlere/Desti Hewler/Dashty Hawler/Bnaslawa/Bensalawah/Binesillawe and none of them work for the 58,214 city in Iraq.
