Map Quiz

First choose any Africa 50K+ city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name the largest 50K+ Africa city in each 50km 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 the largest 50K+ city in that area.

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 'Lagos, Nigeria' - you will be shown a circle of radius 50km centered at Lagos. Naming the largest city in this circle (Lagos in this case) will cause another 'ring' of radius 50km to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the largest 50K+ African 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 50-100km, it will expand to be a 50-150km ring, then 50-200km and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

The object of this quiz is to pick a 50K+ African city to start, then name successive 50K+ African 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. On this quiz alternates are generally accepted, however only the main (usually official) name is counted as it relates to naming the next city. Cities of the same name will answer the closest city first. NOTE: You must type a '.' (period) after the city to submit it. Cities must be a minimum of 50k population. The same city cannot be used twice in this quiz.

For example, you start with 'Cairo' - you are now trying to name a city starting with 'O' (the last letter of 'Cairo') which is closest to Cairo. If you answer 'Oran.' - now you are trying to name the closest city to Oran which starts with a 'N' 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.

The object of this quiz is to adjust each circle's radius so it contains the target population shown at the right but ONLY within Africa. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random populated Africa grid square (courtesy of https://human-settlement.emergency.copernicus.eu/index.php). Also you will see an adjustable circle of radius 500 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 10 and 250 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target.
