I have read about Monterrey before, i just said i never hear other people (News reporters/Tourists) talk about the place.
I see you live in The Netherlands. It's probably like Rotterdam/Amsterdam. Mexico City is the capital and Cancun, Cabo, Acapulco, etc. get a lot of tourism. However, Monterrey is extremely important to the country. Similar with The Netherlands, if you ask an American to name a city besides Amsterdam in the country, most have probably never heard of Rotterdam even though it's the second largest city there. For that matter, I bet a lot don't even know Amsterdam is in The Netherlands

We all know Americans are great at entertaining and playing sports with their hands but score below average at topography. Not hating, just saying Americans shouldn't be seen as the standard on this topic.

I think there are more people in the world (at least outside SA) that know or heard about Salvador/Fortaleza/Natal/Recife and maybe Belo Horizonte/Curitiba/Florianopolis/Porto Alegre
HNNGGGGGH! Despite Oulu being technically slightly larger in population now when it's 9 times bigger, Turku is not only the third, but the second city of Finland. After all, it is the former capital, the oldest city of Finland, has the oldest university, the religious capital, and culturally the "second city". Not to mention that Turku is pretty much the "cradle of Western Christian civilisation" in this country. Oulu is some technological newbie far away from everything else and largely some obscure suburbia.
For Finland the correct list is Helsinki - Turku - Tampere.
I thought the second largest was Espoo. I know that cause that name is just too funny rofl. Es-booooooooooooo.

It is, but it's merely a satellite of Helsinki (or at least was just 15 years ago). In 1950 it had like 15k inhabitants, so it's hardly a "great" city. The richest city, sure, but not great. It doesn't even have a single city centre.
For Brazil, the two largest both in GDP and population are São Paulo and Rio; the third is BrasÃlia in terms of GDP and Salvador in terms of population. And in area, the greatest municipality is Altamira.

Gee the Americans cop it around here don't they (usually unfairly). But this is the first time I've seen criticism of their apparent below average knowledge on the shape and surface features of land masses. I'd never realised understanding contours was a particular challenge they faced.
Can you point us to a reference that confirms this below average scoring in this area?
