Africa Grid Top 5 Challenge
DirectionsType ‘easy’ or ‘hard’ to begin the quiz. Easy is a 10-degree grid, hard is a 5-degree grid. Then, try to name the largest African cities (min 50K population) in each square IN ORDER. To name a city, you must first click on the grid square to make it have a GREEN border. Then, type in the city answer for that square followed by a ‘.’ (a period).
The squares will start with ‘0/5’ (or maybe fewer cities if less exist in that square). Click on a square and enter the largest city in that square not yet answered (so, the largest city if you have yet to answer a city in that square). You will then have ‘1/5’ and need to click on that square to name the 2nd largest city, and so on until you complete all the cities up to 5 (or less if less exist). If you name an incorrect city in a square it becomes ‘locked’ and turns red and you can no longer accumulate cities in that square.
You receive 1 point for the largest city in a square, 2 for the 2nd largest, and so on.
At the end of the quiz the largest remaining city you haven’t named will be shown in each square.

The poverty of government statistics-keeping in Africa makes this quiz a bit pointless – e.g., one square includes Luanda in 2024 and Kinshasa in 2004. Would be better with a consistent data source, not citypopulation.de
