US 20 Circle Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to place 20 circles of radius 100 miles on the map so that they contain the largest total population.

When you begin you'll be given a 100-mile radius circle centered on the map. Move it using the mouse and click SUBMIT. You will be given a score for that circle corresponding to the total population among all US census tracts within it (there are about 85K total US census tracts averaging about 4K people each). Try to complete all 20 circles with the highest total score.

Any INTERSECTING areas are only counted one time, so no census tract will be counted more than once.

US 50K+ City Name Link Challenge

The object of this quiz is to pick a 50K+ US city to start, then name successive 50K+ cities such that the next city's first letter is the last letter of the current city and the next city is as close to the current city as possible. You must name cities in the format 'City, State' with the state abbreviation following the city.

For example, you start with 'Chicago, IL' - you are now trying to name a city starting with 'O' (the last letter of 'Chicago') which is closest to Chicago. If you answer 'Omaha, NE' - now you are trying to name the closest city to Omaha which starts with a 'A' and so on.

The quiz ends at the 25th city from the starting one. You get 100 points for naming the closest city on each step, and they decline based on the distance your city was from the closest. You get 15 minutes to complete the quiz.
