Most populated

[cruzloco]

Which is the most populated city in the southern hemisphere?

[heathfield]

Buones Aires connurbation - 13.35 million
Sao Paulo - 10.3 million
Jakarta - 9 million
Rio de Janero - 6 million +

greater Sao Paulo is about 20 million, the city proper about 11 million, so probably the biggest

[jno]

on scond thoughts, greater Jakarta is even bigger, about 23 million according to Wikipedia. Depends which figure you want but the conurbation figures are probably a better guide to size, the 'city proper' measure is just a political convenience.

This is a question from an annual Quiz, kindly compiled by one person for a national body staffed by thousands of trained volunteers. The organisation exists to inform people of their legal rights and responsibilities, so the trained volunteers and their paid associates do have to develop some good research skills.

Each year there are 100 questions, set by the generous individual who (presumably) puts a lot of thought into making this a challenging-but-fun quiz, and who (indubitably) knows that the contestants are trained to research answers to tricky questions.

In recent years people�s research skills have developed to include the IT User's Friend, viz. the Boolean search on keywords over the Internet. Use of Mr Boole�s legacy is to be encouraged. And in certain circumstances, posting a direct question on a Quiz Answer Site - such as this one � gets as good a result as that which would be obtained by the boolean approach. And often much faster.

But the thing is, the Quiz Setter did make one request, which was:
�Naturally surfing the internet for answers is permitted but can I please ask you not to just post the questions on the net � that really is not in the spirit of the quiz.�

Shall we read that again? He asked: CAN I PLEASE ASK YOU NOT TO JUST POST THE QUESTIONS ON THE NET.

There is no question of enforcing this polite request. Or indeed of policing any Quiz websites. But in future years, would it not be considerate, at the very least, to ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK that went into producing this quiz, and RESPECT the author�s request?
