2 Nuremberg?

5 Linz?

12 Mainz ?

13 I think Lyon is on the Rhone, which is a separate river to the Rhine. French city? - Strasbourg?

Not confident on any of these (apart from Lyon not being on the Rhine).

13 I think this question might be wrong.

If it refers to the 'Rhone', then I think the answer would be Marseille, as Lyon is on the Rhone, not the B....y Rhine.

Talk about a confusing question. Why didn't they just ask what's the 3rd largest city on the Rhone, then.

If Marseilles is the largest and Lyon the next, then it would have to be Avignon or Arles and I'm pretty sure Avignon is a lot bigger than Arles. Great part of the world to visit.
