I'm adjusting the schedule for non-Premium members to play World, US, and Europe city based Google Maps quizzes. It will now be just the first week of the month for all of them, rather than Europe the first week and World/US the second week. This will take effect in September.

I've just updated all the US city populations with the 2023 estimates and added new incorporated places so the grand total went up by a few cities. I have not yet remove some cities which have disincorporated yet as I didn't want the grand totals to decrease on some quizzes, but I will get to that maybe when next year's estimates come out.

Now instead of just seeing purple markers you need to mouseover to see details for missed cities on coverage quizzes, the markers will have labels with the city name and size rank among all cities.

If you're a Premium member, you will now see the following two options displayed when you finish a 'Largest Cities' quiz (the regular ones, not those by latitude, within a state, etc).

If you click 'Add Answered To Learned List' the answers you got right will be added to the cities which appear as 'Memorized' on the Cities Learning quiz for that geography. Clicking on 'Remove Missed From Learned List' will take any answers you missed which are on your 'Memorized' list and move them back onto the learning map so you can study them again.
