Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 15-degree grid, hard is a 10-degree grid. Then, try to name the largest 50K+ cities 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.
why it does not shenzhen?
Included in Guangzhou agglomeration.
great quiz! Really enjoyed not having to stress about time too!
Hey, its a little bit weird, that cologne gets accepted for ruhr, because Cologne is definitly not part of the Ruhr-area, which, more or less 50 km north of Cologne, ranges from west (duisburg) till east (Dortmund) with relatively little north-south-extent, containing as biggest cities Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg and Bochum (amongst several others over 100.000 population).
The source site (citypopulation.de) changed to include Cologne as part of the Ruhr agglo, and not its own separate one.
Hey Darren, mind adding the source for this one? Doesn’t seem to be Demographia’s World Urban Areas list this time.
I think I misspelled your name lol, forgive me.
citypopulation.de
Thanks!! Do you still use the Demographia list in any of the quizzes? Or am I just confused, ha?
citypopulation.de is my only source for population numbers
