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.
How do you do unlimited
why does quiz keep ending with time over despite choosing unlimited mode?
It shouldn’t – when you click ‘Untimed’ does it say ‘Untimed’ below the number of cities you have gotten?
No, it doesn’t
What spelling is being used for Ettadhamen? Nothing I’ve tried works; even the entry for that place that was already in the “Tunisia” section of my “Huge Quiz wrong spelling” spreadsheet only has “Ettadhamen”, “At Tadaman”, and “At Tadamon”, so this isn’t even a construction you’ve used in other quizzes as far as I can tell. And can you please add the correct spellings of Taroudant (where is “Taroudannt” used??), Debre Zayit (for some reason it doesn’t accept Debre Zeyit either even though that’s the spelling displayed; I only got it after guessing Bishoftu), and Tarhuna (among many others, those are just the ones I remember)?
Ettadhamen isn’t in this quiz. The others you mentioned I added those spellings.
Thanks! The missing Tunisian E city had pop. 84,521 and Ettadhamen had pop. 85,142 so I guess I assumed these were the same. It was only through luck that I ended up guessing “El Kram”, since everywhere I’ve looked calls it either Le Kram or Al-Karam.
Is the world supposed to be hard, or am I missing something? I got 143 on my first try when I timed out in the i’s, and I tried a second time going in a different order so I didn’t get stuck going through what I thought were my bad letters and only got 131.
It’s pretty hard if you don’t get bonuses. Try naming the the largest (and, if you can, the top 3, top 5, etc.) for each letter before trying to fill a letter. Also try getting the 1 million population bonus.
