I lucked out on that one. I picked a guy I was pretty sure had played for the Celtics. He didn't, but he did play for the Lakers at one point.

Shit, I just checked mine and I got it wrong. I remembered the wrong team that he moved to for that late, meaningless season at the end of his career. I shouldn't have tried to get cute.

Exactly. Lorde rules. Tough luck, pack of loosers who went with Childish Gambino. Whatever that is. Clearly not popular with 13 year old girls.

Hmm, that page doesn't match this one for China - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ci ... population" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I only checked because I was pretty sure China was a correct answer.

The Wikipedia page for Beijing itself says 21.1M. (though the page for Shanghai says 24.2M)

Ryan's call.

I don't think any of those show city limit population. I don't think Shanghai has 20+ million people.

EDIT: Nm, it does. Wow.
