Picture quiz #2

A very minor case of serious brain damage

One month ago, I ran a 'picture quiz', where I gave you pictures of company logos, and it was up to you to tell me what the companies were. Following on from the success of that contest, I've decided to run another one - and this time, I've expanded it from 12 pictures to 20!

This time, the subject will be cities. Below are 20 pictures of cities, and your task is to try and identify those cities. You will win 10 posts for each city you guess correctly, and because I'm feeling nice, you'll win 5 posts if you guess incorrectly, but get the country right (so, for instance, if there was a picture of Chicago, and you guessed Washington DC, you'd win 5 posts for at least being in the correct country).

Also, to stop one person from just running away with this, I'm going to introduce the following rules (which may be tweaked in future editions of the contest, depending on how well they work):

1) No more than EIGHT guesses per post, and;
2) No more than one post containing guesses per person per 24 hours.

(so, if you make a post containing guesses, you need to wait 24 hours before you can make any more guesses). Any guesses made beyond this limit will not be counted.

Once again, using tools like Google and Wikipedia to help you IS allowed. Now that we've got that out of the way, here are the cities:

Good luck!

@Jimmy, lol

@Solar: 1, 6 and 11 are correct. 8 and 12 are incorrect - the thing that looks like the Eiffel Tower isn't. You got beaten to 3, unfortunately :( .

@Katie: All correct, but you got beaten to 1, 6 and 11.

I won't count the ones you got beaten to, so you each have 3 guesses remaining for today.

That's correct! You also have 2 guesses remaining.

By the way, you are allowed to make multiple guesses for the same city (so, for example, you could make 3 guesses for #14, but that would use up 3 of your 8 guesses)

10 is Shanghai, but 16 isn't Vancouver.

I think I was a bit evil with that one - they're just buildings that could be anywhere :P .

You're technically 20 minutes too early, but I'll be lenient. They're all right - congratulations!

So, that's all the cities gone now, and the prizes are as follows:

1) rmnldr - 140 posts
2) Barbie - 40 posts
3) Jarkko - 20 posts

Congratulations to everyone who entered! Katie may do the next one if she wants....or I can come up with more cities :P .

21, 23 and 26 are correct. 38 isn't Zurich, though.

Sorry - I may have to come up with a less extreme anti-Tineye overlay for the next round :P .

Well, that's the way to do it. You can't win if you don't try!

22 isn't Montreal. Bearing in mind some of your previous guesses, I'm surprised you didn't get it :P .
24 isn't Philadelphia. Good try, though.
