World 50K+ Cities 15×15 Blackout (Premium Only)

Directions

Fill in the 225 squares with World 50K+ cities based on the categories in the top row and the geographical location given in the cell. For example, if you are looking at a cell with ‘Asia’ in its row, and ‘2+ Words’ in the column, that cell can be filled in with ‘New Delhi.’

Occasionally a cell may not have a qualifying answer, in which case it will appear blank and be a gimme.

hugequiz Premium members will see missed answers in red – they will be the largest city which qualified in each cell.

This quiz is only available to Premium members.

World Circle Population Selection Challenge

The object of this quiz is to click on the circle containing the largest population. When you begin you'll be shown 2 circles with radii between 100 and 2500 km on the map which do not intersect. Click on the one with the larger population within it (based world population density info) then 'Submit' - if you are correct you'll move on. One incorrect round and the quiz is over. Every 5 rounds the number of circles on the map will increase by 1. Try to build the longest streak of correct circles. Circles displayed will always be non-intersecting.

World Grid Population Challenge

First choose a grid size by typing '30', '20', or '10'. A grid of that size lat/long will be placed on the map (so if you choose '20' the grid width and height will be 20 degrees). Then, double click on the grid square with the highest population within it (based on world 10km x 10km population density estimates). The highest-population remaining square will give you 100 points, all the way down to 0 for the one with the smallest population. Try to obtain the most points by successively double-clicking on the highest-populated grid square.

World Circle Radius Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to adjust each circle's radius so it contains the target population shown at the right. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random populated world grid square (there are over 800K 10x10 km grid squares used for the data, courtesy of https://human-settlement.emergency.copernicus.eu/index.php). Also you will see an adjustable circle of radius 500 km to start. Adjust the circle's radius by dragging it until it contains the target number of people shown - this target will be between 2.5 and 250 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target.

This will probably be the largest Blackout grid size I’ll make 🙂 You’ll need to go full screen probably!

Why does Olivos not count for Argentina anymore? I’m pretty sure it does for the 10×10

I changed a handful of Buenos Aires localities to the name of the Partido, which they should have been. So Olivos is now Vicente Lopez.

I have played this quiz dozens of times, but there is an issue right now: it seems like cities smaller than 100k do not load nor get accepted. There are a lot of empty squares, and the “Pop 50-100k” is completely empty. Moreover, cities like Kiel and Jena are not accepted as German cities with 2-4 letters.
