You got 7 out of 11 right!
Great
Nice, Edith!
8/11 – however, if this is a quiz on “world cities”, why are only 4 questions about non-American ones?
That’s a valid observation, John. I didn’t make any conscious attempt to ‘randomise’ the questions; lesson learned
Got 7 out of 11 and loved the quiz!
Great
6 of 11; yeah, the pics helped
Didn’t help enough perhaps!
7/11 pretty good I might say , good help with the pictures
Indeed 7/11 is not bad at all! Thanks for playing, Criss

No need to wait – lots more here

With all the given hints, I only got three. Lol.
LOL Cassy! Some of the ‘hints’ might have been more confusing than helpful
Amazing quiz Norman. Deflated my ego quite nicely
7/11 out of which some are wild guesses.
LOL, Dawnwriter – take the quiz one more time if your ego is in need of restoration
Loved this one! Had fun taking this.
Happy to see you enjoying it
