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.

I was bored and went the morbid curiosity route on beginner; only got as far as October 17, 1978 (Lanett, Alabama) but I got a score of 20744/21397 and fully covered 32 states. Which is both higher than I expected and lower than I feared. Probably would have gotten closer if I had more time and could have gotten all the way to the present. I don’t think I would have gotten Hawaii or Alaska fully covered

everything that’s incorporated should work fine for AK. unincorporated areas are generally not included in my quizzes.

You can get a surprisingly long way by just typing European capitals

I believe it should be possible to exceed 20k points rather easily if you expand it to European city names in general. The amount of German/UK/historical city names found in the US is insane. Look at number of places called Heidelberg, Florence or Newcastle for example..

Can the scores on this be reset? The amount of cities seems to be decreased.

i’ve lowered all the scores by the difference in amount of cities. I have less now as I was counting towns in some states that shouldn’t have been on this quiz.

They’re real places, same as small towns in Idaho or Kentuck or Saskatchewan! Leave them in!
