    I think the 5m+ city you missed was Belo Horizonte. Cities over 2.5m, might be Fortaleza in Brazil, or Yinchuan, Chifeng, puer or Hulunbuir in China. Cities over 1.5m is a little harder to tell, and properly includes the already mentioned cities, but could be Kisangani in DR Congo or Yekaterinburg in Russia. Ofc, this all depnds on what numbers they used, so it is really hard to tell.

    As a Faroese, I do appreciate the thought you had of Tórshavn having over 50,000 inhabitants. However, the entire Tórshavn metropolitan area only has about 20-22,000 inhabitants. Great job on the quiz.

    Many times you named cities already deep in circles and finished countries, that costed you precious time.

    • @kryogin

      I think you're wrong. If you consider towns Puerto Williams in Chile is further south than both you named. Also Punta Arenas is the southernmost continental city. From there you only have islands.

    • @aylen7062

      No, Fortín Sargento Cabral is way further South than Puerto Williams lol.
      Fortín Sargento Cabral is the world's southernmost continental village and village in general.
      I don't understand why invalidate islands though. The only difference with a continent is that enough people agree it's a continent, but not everyone agrees how many they are, because the definition is so loose.

      I think that islands are okay but definitely not Antarctica.
      The thing with islands is when Ushuaia is called the end of the world. Being an island that is separate from the world, so it's not its end.
      And there are populated islands and towns further south than Ushuaia.
