For example, if you choose 'int' - the threshold is 1,000,000. If you choose 'Winnipeg', then Winnipeg will fill in and because its population is under 1,000,000, successive cities moving outward from Winnipeg will fill in until the total population reaches at least 1,000,000. If you chose Toronto, only Toronto would fill in as its population already meets your threshold.

1466

Canada Grid Path Challenge – All Cities

Choose a level by typing ‘beg’, ‘int’, ‘adv’, or ‘exp’ – beg level is 5 degree squares, int 2.5 degrees, adv 1 degree, and exp 0.5 degrees. Then, name any Canada city to start with by entering it (cities with the same name will choose the largest city of that name first). The grid square you are starting in will turn yellow - you now must name any city in any one of the adjacent grid squares (not including diagonal) - so any grid square directly north, south, east or west of the yellow one. Naming a city in one of these squares will turn your original square red and the current newly named city square yellow - continue in the same way trying to make a path of as many squares as you can. You are not allowed to return to a red square, and if you get 'boxed in' with no squares left to complete the quiz will also end.

Be aware that as you name cities it will answer the largest city first, so if you are trying to answer a city in a square to the east but a larger city of that name occurs a square to the north, the north one will be answered.

Obviously, due to the layout and separation of squares it will be impossible to complete all of them.

hugequiz Premium members will see the largest missed city in each possible next square at the end of the quiz as purple markers.

North America 100 Km Expanding Circles Top 5 Challenge – Choose City

First choose any North American 10K+ city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name the 5 largest North America cities in each 100 km circle/ring as the rings expand outward from your city of choice. The first circle will include your city of choice as a possible answer if it is among the 5 largest in that area. As you enter cities you will see their rank within the current ring (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th largest) above their marker.

When you run out of time or end the quiz, you will see the current ring's correct answer at right (under 'Answer Stats' by your coordinates).

For example, if you choose 'Chicago' - you will be shown a circle of radius 100 km centered at Chicago. Naming all of the 5 largest 10K+ cities in this circle (Chicago in this case is one) will cause another 'ring' of radius 100 km to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the 5 largest North America cities in that ring (but not within any previous circles/rings). If a city is not within the next ring of that distance, the ring will keep expanding by that distance until at least 1 city falls within it. So if a city doesn't fall within 100-200 km, it will expand to be a 100-300 km ring, then 100-400 km and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

This quiz is only available to Premium members.

All cities of 10K+ population starting with the city you chose and moving outward will begin filling in until you’ve hit a total population equal to or greater than your chosen level’s threshold. For example, if you choose ‘int’ – the threshold is 5 million. If you choose ‘chicago’, then Chicago will fill in and because its population is under 5 million, successive cities moving outward from Chicago will fill in until the total population reaches at least 5 million. If you chose Mexico City, only it would fill in as its population already meets your threshold.

hugequiz Premium members will see the 25 largest missed cities at the end of the quiz as large, purple markers.

Premium members can now also play a 3-hour time limit 'custom' coverage quiz of any population from 250,000 to 25,000,000, simply enter the population followed by a '.' instead of choosing from one of the four levels, i.e. '750000.' Quiz score is not recorded for the custom coverage option.

US 10 Circle Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to place 10 circles of radius 100 miles on the map so that they contain the largest total population.

When you begin you'll be given a 100-mile radius circle centered on the map. Move it using the mouse and click SUBMIT. You will be given a score for that circle corresponding to the total population among all US census tracts within it (there are about 85K total US census tracts averaging about 4K people each). Try to complete all 10 circles with the highest total score.

Any INTERSECTING areas are only counted one time, so no census tract will be counted more than once.

US 10K+ City Name Link Challenge

The object of this quiz is to pick a 10K+ US city to start, then name successive 10K+ cities such that the next city's first letter is the last letter of the current city and the next city is as close to the current city as possible. You must name cities in the format 'City, State' with the state abbreviation following the city.

For example, you start with 'Chicago, IL' - you are now trying to name a city starting with 'O' (the last letter of 'Chicago') which is closest to Chicago. If you answer 'Omaha, NE' - now you are trying to name the closest city to Omaha which starts with a 'A' and so on.

The quiz ends at the 25th city from the starting one. You get 100 points for naming the closest city on each step, and they decline based on the distance your city was from the closest. You get 15 minutes to complete the quiz.

US 1K+ City Shrinking Coverage Challenge

You begin with a radius of 250 miles. Enter US 1K+ city names (see naming notes below) and all 1K+ US cities within that radius will fill in, HOWEVER each time you use a circle the radius will shrink by 5%. Try to cover as many cities as possible as the circles get smaller. Time is not part of the score on this quiz.

hugequiz Premium members will see the 25 largest missed cities at the end of the quiz as large, purple markers.

NAMING NOTES: For this quiz you will need the city name followed by state abbreviation to name cities as there are so many similarly-named US cities. For example 'newyorkny' and 'chicagoil' - just the city name will NOT accept.

Notes for this quiz: answering a city that has the same name in multiple locations will reduce the circle 5% in radius for each unique city that matches, so if you enter 'Jackson' - it will fill one of them with whatever radius you are at, then shrink it 5% and fill the next and so on. So it may not be wise to use a common city name.

US 1K+ Population Radius Coverage

First choose a difficulty by typing ‘beg’, ‘int’, ‘adv, or ‘exp’. Then, enter 1K+ population cities and all 1K+ population cities within a radius based on the population of the city you guessed will fill in. When you have at least 25 states, the states remaining will be shown. In other words, a large city will have a bit larger radius to cover other cities than a smaller city would.

A higher difficulty level means smaller circles, but still in the same size proportion to each other based on populations.

hugequiz Premium members will see the 25 largest missed cities at the end of the quiz as large, purple markers.

There is also the option to play a 3-hour (basically untimed) version of each level. Simply enter a 'u' before a level choice to play a 3-hour version, for example 'ubeg' or 'uadv' - your score will not be saved for these.

US 20 Circle Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to place 20 circles of radius 100 miles on the map so that they contain the largest total population.

When you begin you'll be given a 100-mile radius circle centered on the map. Move it using the mouse and click SUBMIT. You will be given a score for that circle corresponding to the total population among all US census tracts within it (there are about 85K total US census tracts averaging about 4K people each). Try to complete all 20 circles with the highest total score.

Any INTERSECTING areas are only counted one time, so no census tract will be counted more than once.

424

US 200 Mile Coverage Challenge

Choose any 5K+ US city (AK & HI not included), then continue naming 5K+ cities which are within 200 miles of any previously named city. Naming notes: many places have similar names. For example, “Jacksonville” is not unique. To choose Jacksonville, FL, simply type “jacksonvillefl”, and so on. Also some answers require typing in other answers you may not want to guess. In this case, if you want to answer “Virginia Beach, VA”, simply type it..”Virginia, MN” will not be chosen. If you want simply “Virginia” type ‘virginia.’ with the period at the end. NOTE that typing in “phoenix” will not answer Phoenix, AZ – so that means either there is another place in another state where you must put “phoenixaz”, or another city starting with “Phoenix”, which is the case in this example – so typing ‘phoenix.’ will get you your answer. Finally, in a couple cases there are multiple places of the same name in a single state. Madison, WI is an example. To choose the largest Madison (typically the one you want), type ‘madisonwi1’ – the rest are ‘madisonwi2’ and so on (need the state too as there are madison’s in other states) – this is quite rare. So basically, if the city isn’t coming up after you type the name, try adding a “.” after, or the state abbreviation, or in rare cases the state abbr plus a number.

US 25 Mile Expanding Circles Any City Challenge – Choose City

First choose any US city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name ANY US city in each 25 mile circle/ring as the rings expand outward from your city of choice. The first circle will include your city of choice as a possible answer.

When you run out of time or end the quiz, you will see the current ring's largest correct answer at right (under 'Answer Stats' by your coordinates).

For example, if you choose 'Chicago' - you will be shown a circle of radius 25 miles centered at Chicago. Naming any city in this circle (including Chicago) will cause another 'ring' of radius 25 miles to appear outside that circle. You now need to name any US city in that ring (but not within any previous circles/rings). If a city is not within the next ring of that distance, the ring will keep expanding by that distance until a city falls within it. So if a city doesn't fall within 25-50 miles, it will expand to be a 25-75 mile ring, then 25-100 miles and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

US 25 Mile Expanding Circles Distance Challenge – Choose City

First choose any US city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name any US city in each 25 mile circle/ring as the rings expand outward from your city of choice - NOTE - you must enter a period '.' at the end of the city to submit it. The first circle will include your city of choice as already guessed. The object in this quiz is to guess the city in the next ring which is as CLOSE TO THE PREVIOUS CITY as possible. The closest city will get you 100 points, the farthest away answer 0 points and cities in between will score based on how far away they were between the closest and farthest away cities in that ring.

When you run out of time or end the quiz, you will see the current ring's closest correct answer at right.

For example, if you choose ‘Chicago, IL’ – you will be shown a circle of radius 25 miles centered at Chicago and Chicago will be selected. You will also see a ring of radius 50 miles outside that circle. Naming a city in this ring will cause another ‘ring’ of radius 75 miles to appear outside that ring and you will get 0-100 points, depending how close to Chicago your city was. If a city is not within the next ring of that distance, the ring will keep expanding by that distance until a city falls within it. So if a city doesn’t fall within 50-75 miles, it will expand to be a 50-100 mile ring, then 50-125 mile and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

US 25 Mile Expanding Circles Small City Challenge – Choose City

First choose any US city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name any US city in each 25 mile circle/ring as the rings expand outward from your city of choice, trying to name SMALLER cities instead of the easier, larger cities. The first circle will include your city of choice as a possible answer.

PLEASE NOTE - You must type a '.' (period) after each city to submit it to prevent answering another city with a name you would be have to type to get your answer - for example 'Jackson' would be answered trying to type 'Jacksonville.' If multiple cities have the name you submitted, only the smallest one will be counted.

You accumulate points based on the population of the city you named according to the following scale:
< 1K - 10 pts
1K - 4,999 - 8 pts
5K - 9,999 - 6 pts
10K - 24,999 - 4 pts
25K - 49,999 - 3 pts
50K - 99,999 - 2 pts
100K+ - 1 pt

When you run out of time or end the quiz, you will see the current ring’s smallest correct answer at right (under ‘Answer Stats’ by your coordinates).

For example, if you choose ‘Chicago’ – you will be shown a circle of radius 25 miles centered at Chicago. Naming any city in this circle (including Chicago) will cause another ‘ring’ of radius 25 miles to appear outside that circle, however - you will want to try naming the SMALLEST city you can to get more points (Chicago will only yield 1 point). After completing that circle, you now need to name any US city in the new ring (but not within any previous circles/rings), again trying to name as small a city as possible. If a city is not within the next ring of that distance, the ring will keep expanding by that distance until a city falls within it. So if a city doesn’t fall within 25-50 miles, it will expand to be a 25-75 mile ring, then 25-100 miles and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

US 5 Mile Expanding Circles Any City Challenge By State – Choose City

First choose any US city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name ANY US city in each 5 mile circle/ring IN THE SAME STATE as the rings expand outward from your city of choice. The first circle will include your city of choice as a possible answer.

When you run out of time or end the quiz, you will see the current ring's largest population correct answer at right (under 'Answer Stats' by your coordinates).

For example, if you choose 'Chicago, IL' - you will be shown a circle of radius 5 miles centered at Chicago. Naming the any Illinois in this circle (Chicago or otherwise) will cause another 'ring' of radius 5 miles to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the any US city also in IL in that ring (but not within any previous circles/rings). If an Illinois city is not within the next ring of that distance, the ring will keep expanding by that distance until a IL city falls within it. So if a city doesn't fall within 5-10 miles, it will expand to be a 5-15 mile ring, then 5-20 mile and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

You accumulate points based on the population of the city you named according to the following scale:
< 100 - 10 pts

500 - 999 - 6 pts
1K - 4,999 - 4 pts

All cities starting with the city you chose and moving outward will begin filling in until you've hit a total population equal to or greater than your chosen level's threshold. For example, if you choose 'int' - the threshold is 1 million. If you choose 'omaha', then Omaha, NE will fill in and because its population is under 1 million, successive cities moving outward from Omaha will fill in until the total population reaches at least 1 million. If you chose New York, only New York, NY would fill in as its population already meets your threshold.
