| Erland Sommarskog <esquel@sommarskog.se>: Nov 15 09:02PM +0100 > 5th-largest in its country by population, and you'll respond with > the country that city is in. For example, if we said "Edmonton", > you would say "Canada." It would be interesting to know what source(s) they have used. I checked against worldpopulation.de and there were not too many matches. The site does not have metropolitan areas for all countries, so that could explain some of the deviations. But even when they have metropolitan area, there still a mismatch. According to them, Houston, Toulouse and Glasgow are the correct answers for questions 6, 9 and 10. But this is a shady area, where it matters a lot of what definitions you use. For instance, I found a file on the Swedish Statistics Agency about "tätorter" which may be more relevant that the municipalities listed on worldpopulation.de. In this file, Sollentuna is #5 (which I never would have guessed), but Sollentuna is part of Greater Stockholm, and #6 on the list is indeed Västerås, which falls behind Linköping among the municipalities. |
