A quick one, what is the highest city with a population of over 1 million?

This is a guess, but is it somewhere like BogotÃ¡ in Columbia?

MarkMas · Oct 17, 2017

I think La Paz is the highest capital city, but suspect it is under 1m people.

I've looked it up, and Denver is only 600,000 people.

Now I'm going to go for Madrid.

Somewhere in China maybe?

MrMickS · Oct 17, 2017

I'm going to take a stab at Mexico City

Correct on both counts so not the answer we are looking for

As you say Denver is less and it's not Madrid

Afraid not

Nope

zagatoes30 · Oct 17, 2017

There are only 2 cities in the top 20 highest with populations over 1 million, not sure if that helps

I think I may know this one (somehow!) Is it Addis Ababa (or however you spell it) in Ethiopia.

Certainly meets the population requirements well over 2m but unfortunately no where near high enough.

A couple of the guesses so far are in the right area

Maybe I'm not right then.

I remember flying into Islamabad at over 600 m and there were a fair few people around. If not, I reckon that is the region to hunt the answer.

Another one wrong on both accounts

If Addis Addaba is nowhere near high enough, and it's not Bogota in Columbia, then I still think it might be somewhere else in the high Andes mountains of South America - so Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina. However, I can't think of any other big cities....

Lots of factual clues in this response

I'm out on this one. Ms Tilly's 3rd year class was the only geography I enjoyed - and that had s*d all to do with West Africa.
