Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 5-degree grid, hard is a 2.5-degree grid. Then, try to name the LARGEST city in each grid square which fits the category label for each square. 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). You are given a score from 0 to 100 based on your answer's population compared to the largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the largest city).
LETTER: means the city starts with that letter.
NUMBER RANGE: (such as 2-5, 10+) means the city contains that many letters (excluding spaces and special characters).
POPULATION RANGE: (such as 50-100K) means the city has that range for its population.
2+ WORDS means the city name has 2 or more words (words denoted by a space or hyphen).
AK and HI are NOT included in this quiz as they often have grid squares with only one answer for this quiz.
At the end of the quiz the largest population missed answer will show in each unanswered square, and for those answered the largest city will be listed if you didn't answer it.
“Lajemmerais” in Quebec should be renamed to “Marguerite-D’Youville”. Lajemmerais is the old name and is no longer used in most scenarios.
I’ll make both acceptable.
Below the text box it reads “Next answer bonus at 100.” but there are no time bonuses in this quiz.
“Northumberland” registers 2 answers, but only the NB county is highlighted in green, the ON one stays red.
NWT has 6 numbered census divisions, but it also now has 5 named administrative divisions, if you want to use those.
Powell River regional district in BC has been renamed “qathet”
And a suggestion: Maybe add provincial/territorial stats in the sidebar, so you can see how many divisions from each province you’ve completed without looking at the map, in line with most of your other quizzes? Or maybe population-based groupings now that the 2021 census data is out. That would be cool to see.
Seems to be missing data in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, NWT and Newfoundland and Labrador.
please read directions – states why they are omitted.
