US Circle Population Selection Challenge

The object of this quiz is to click on the circle containing the largest population. When you begin you'll be shown 2 circles on the map with radii between 10 and 250 miles which do not intersect. Click on the one with the larger population within it (based on US census tract info) then 'Submit' - if you are correct you'll move on. One incorrect round and the quiz is over. Every 5 rounds the number of circles on the map will increase by 1. Try to build the longest streak of correct circles. Circles displayed will always be non-intersecting.

NOTE: You may have to zoom out to see all circles, occasionally a AK/HI circle will be included. Also, only population within the US is included in the total, any Canada/Mexico coverage counts as 0 population within the circle.

Canada Circle Radius Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to adjust each circle's radius so it contains the target population shown at the right. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random Canada dissemination area (there are over 55K dissemination areas across Canada, the smallest census tabulation area). Also you will see an adjustable circle of radius 100 km to start. Adjust the circle's radius by dragging it until it contains the target number of people shown - this target will be between 10K and 5 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target. Circle population is tallied by totaling all output areas within that circle.

US Circle Radius Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to adjust each circle's radius so it contains the target population shown at the right. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random US census tract (there are over 80K census tracts in the US). Also you will see an adjustable circle of radius 100 miles to start. Adjust the circle's radius by dragging it until it contains the target number of people shown - this target will be between 100K and 25 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target. Circle population is tallied by totaling all census tracts (small census areas of average 4K population) within that circle.

NOTE - population in Canada and Mexico is NOT counted at all, only US population within the circle.

He’s confused because you’re using a list of “major summits” which nobody really uses. Most people in the mountaineering community use a 100m/300 foot prominence cutoff to separate real mountains from subpeaks, not the 500m cutoff on this particular Wikipedia article.

i see – if you have a source showing the top 100 with the 100m/300ft cutoff I can use that.

Using 500m is unexpected and more challenging, but not necessarily bad — there is more diversity. I’d include the cutoff in the description to avoid creating frustration.

But for the 300′ rule: https://www.peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=21201

Not sure about spoilers in the comments, but they changed the name of one peak in Colorado that you can drive up. Other name changes are being discussed.

I enjoy this quiz for what it is but I was having to guess a lot on which peaks counted, like Sill and Tyndall don’t for California even though they’re considered part of the 11 14ers. I don’t think hugequiz necessarily “has to” follow what peakbagger says though.
