Europe 10K Cities Farthest From Their Country’s Capital

Name the 10K+ population city (excluding overseas territories, but including European ones) in each European country that is farthest from that country’s capital. Countries without a 10K+ non-capital city are not included. Country, distance, and city population shown. I did not include Turkey as the capital is in Asia, and for Russia I'm looking for farthest away 10K+ city including Asia.

Europe Administrative Division Capitals

Name the capitals (or if no capital/administrative center exists, then largest city) of the administrative divisions of each European country. A handful may just have the country itself or a regional division if it doesn't have administrative divisions. Russia & Turkey are divisions with capitals in Europe only, however a handful of divisions for a couple countries are outside of Europe geographically so you may have to zoom out. A couple dependent territories are also included if they are an integral part of the country. Some cities may count twice when answered if they're the capital of multiple divisions (such as a province's capital and an autonomous city).

Europe Capital Pairs Proximity Blackout

Upon clicking START you will be presented with a 5×5 table of European capitals. The object of the quiz is to pair up capitals two at a time which have the shortest distance between them.

Single click on a capital's text and it will highlight red. To choose the other capital of the pair click another capital's text. Also, you can re-click on the first capital to deselect it. The distance between them will be shown and you will get up to 100 points. 100 points corresponds to the closest pair of capitals, 0 points to the farthest apart pair – scores decrease based on the distance of your two capitals related to the possible range of distances. Those two capitals will then be replaced with their score and you will now choose the closest pair of capitals from the remaining 23 capitals which have been adjusted to have 100 and 0 corresponding to the closest/farthest pairs among those 23, and so on until you run out of time or complete 12 pairs of capitals leaving one left.

You get a 100 point bonus for completing all 12 pairs within 5 minutes, making for a total possible point total of 2500.

However, for an extra challenge on this quiz, the top 10 cities in each country (less if there aren't 10, including the capital if it is one of the top 10, if not the capital plus 9 largest) have markers. So there are plenty of 'imposter' markers to avoid.

Europe Capitals Triplets Blackout Challenge

Upon clicking START you will be presented with a 5×5 grid of 25 of the capital cities of European countries.

The object of this quiz is to choose the top 3 in the given category for the capitals shown in the grid. When you begin you’ll be given 25 different capitals plus a category to name the top 3 in, which will display just above the grid. For example, if the category says ‘Top 3 Largest Population’ you are to click on the 3 capitals with the largest population. If it says ‘Top 3 Lowest Population Density’ you are to click on the 3 whose population density is the lowest. You can deselect the first or second capital you chose on by re-clicking it, but when you choose the 3rd capital they will be submitted, removed from the grid, and you will get a score from 0-100 based on how close your set of 3 comes to the optimum set of 3 (which will be shown as a ‘Rank’ on top out of the # of possible sets of 3 for the last choice). When you’ve answered all 8 sets of 3 leaving only 1 capital the quiz is over. You get a 100 points bonus for completing the sets making for a total possible score of 2500.

Note: I set the Vatican's Cost Of Living to the same as Rome's, as there is no data for it.
