Hugely difficult to answer. When I posed the question I did some research on the area. Population estimates are between 2.4 and 2.7 million, depending on the source. It is impossible to be more accurate because out side of the metro area of the city there has been no accurate census done. The best I found last week was 2.71 million in 2004

And that's the winning answer to a really bad question. Back to you.

Not a Q, but I thought I'd sare this (didn't want to post it under a new thread). Live earth images from the ISS. I think it's pretty cool.

Not a really bad question Starter, just difficult to be accurate with:)

Question:
How many islands make up the Philippines?

215?

I think the answer is in the thousands. 6,000?

6,001?

All of the ones that are considered to be islands. 6001 is the closest so far Taz, but this is still a considerable amount short.

Nearest 100 gets the prize

13k in Indonesia..or was it Philippines...I say 10,400
