First choose any Europe 10K+ pop city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name any Europe 10K+ city in each 100 km circle/ring as the rings expand outward from your city of choice, trying to name SECOND LARGEST city in each circle. The first circle will include your city of choice as a possible answer.
PLEASE NOTE - You must type a '.' (period) after each city to submit it to prevent answering another city with a name you would be have to type to get your answer. If multiple cities have the name you submitted, only the largest one will be counted.
You accumulate points based on the population of the city you named in relation to the second largest city in the circle. A smaller city’s point total will be the ratio of its population to the largest, so if you name a city of 75K people and the largest city has 100K, you get 75 points. Naming the largest city will get you points based on the ratio of the 2nd largest city's population to the largest city's.
When you run out of time or end the quiz, you will see the current ring’s 2nd largest city at right (under ‘Answer Stats’ by your coordinates).
For example, if you choose ‘Paris’ – you will be shown a circle of radius 100 km centered at Paris. Naming any city in this circle (including Paris) will cause another ‘ring’ of radius 100 km to appear outside that circle, however - you will want to try naming the SECOND LARGEST city you can to get more points. After completing that circle, you now need to name any 10K+ Europe city in the new ring (but not within any previous circles/rings), again trying to name the 2nd largest city. If there are not two cities within the next ring of that distance, the ring will keep expanding by that distance until two cities fall within it.
i got 25 cuz i got Sweden,nordic and North od 55 latitude so i can go 3 rows at the cost of 1 w luck
What is the Norway 2+ words city? I can’t find it anywhere.
I would think Mo i Rana works but I have not gotten it myself.
Hi from the new leader!
Ohhh I came close. Cascais not listed as a Portuguese city? Yeah, I know I could’ve done Coimbra but in those 2.5 minutes all I could think of was Cascais and how to spell it. I was spelling it correctly, and it is a town of 214,000 people, but I guess it’s been all assumed under “Lisbon” as it has kind of taken it over as part of the city (even though it is a different town in its own right). I’ll get there in the end. This is a genius game, by the way.
as a locality its population is just under 10k so it doesn’t qualify
Of all the games you’ve made, I think this is the best. 🙂 It’s very addictive and I really want to get full marks.
(by the way, I wanted to add it to “Favourites” on the heart icon, but I just get a ball spinning round. I use Microsoft Edge, if that helps narrow things down)
uff…Edge. don’t use that 🙂
It’s the third biggest browser. I quite like it. It could be something that you might want to look into, to see why the Favourite doesn’t work in Edge. Don’t do it for me, I’ve bookmarked it once I saw I couldn’t use the heart icon, but you may want to do it for the other Edge users out there. 🙂
No way! It is randomized every time i take the quiz. SUper cool bro
Carrying over to Europe now – let me know your thoughts on this type of quiz or any issues.
I like it. Is there a North American or US one?
just made a US one, more to follow
good idea but it would be better if you could make the highscores unique for each grid (not sure if that’s possible to do tho)
there are like millions of possible grids so yeah not really feasible. so yeah high scores are regardless of grid and I wouldn’t really focus on them too much for this.
