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.
I was going to complain about a location obviously in Victoria being posted as Saanich, but I feel like I need to point out that Cape Breton is not a city in itself, but the entire northern section of Nova Scotia… I got dropped in a location near a coastal power plant, and no matter what cities I put down (I tried Sydney like three times) it showed the location was Cape Breton? Weird, because it wasn’t even the centre of population lol.
I’ll remove the Cape Breton entry.
Weird quiz, says large cities and every pic is either a subburb or some rural community.
I think the issue is the size and shape of the cities compared to however the quiz decides where to place its starting point. Placing it in the geographic center/centre of Ottawa, for example, would give quite a different result compared to placing it in downtown Ottawa.
Yeah, as a western canadian best I could do for most of them was “probably some semi-rural part of Ontario”.
