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 is the time limit so ridiculously short. I had time to enter 10 countries, am I missing something?
i’ll increase it. there are time bonsues too.
It’s a great quiz, the research for it must’ve been tough. Senussiya should probably count, and there were the Ovambo kingdoms such as Oukwanyama, Ondonga etc., also loads more in the Great Lakes but you got the main ones. Nkore is the right name rather than Ankole, it was only called Ankole after it was combined with some minor states under british administration.
IMO this would work a lot better with a map
I think that would be a diffferent game. Maybe more fun, but less challenging (for me at least)
i changed this quiz to reflect all world countries in 1900, not just those with a population estimate at that time.
