Canada 100 Km Expanding Circles Challenge – Choose City

First choose any Canada city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name the largest Canada city 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 the largest 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 'Toronto' - you will be shown a circle of radius 100 km centered at Toronto. Naming the largest city in this circle (Toronto in this case) will cause another 'ring' of radius 100 km to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the largest Canada 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 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.

If you chose Toronto, only Toronto would fill in as its population already meets your threshold.

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.

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).

The squares will start with '0/5' (or maybe fewer cities if less exist in that square). Click on a square and enter the largest city in that square not yet answered (so, the largest city if you have yet to answer a city in that square). You will then have '1/5' and need to click on that square to name the 2nd largest city, and so on until you complete all the cities up to 5 (or less if less exist). If you name an incorrect city in a square it becomes 'locked' and turns red and you can no longer accumulate cities in that square.

You receive 1 point for the largest city in a square, 2 for the 2nd largest, and so on.

For example, if you choose 'beg' - the threshold is 2,500,000. If you choose 'Tijuana', then Tijuana will fill in and because its population is under 2,500,000, successive cities moving outward from Tijuana will fill in until the total population reaches at least 2,500,000. If you chose Mexico City, only Mexico City would fill in as its population already meets your threshold.

Mexico Cities Grid Identifier Challenge

The object of this quiz is to double-click the grid square where cities are located (the centroid of the city is used). When you begin you will have a grid randomly placed with size 5 degrees latitude by 5 degrees longitude. You will be told which city to locate - simply double-click on that city's grid square and you will move on to the next city. Each time you go to a new city the squares are randomly redrawn and with a size 10% smaller. The first 10 cities will be 500K+, the next 10 100-500K, next 10 50-100K and the balance (until you run out of time or guess wrong) will be 25-50K. When you guess wrong the correct location will be shown as a pink marker.

You do get a break if you are within 2 km of the city but in the wrong square – you will not get credit for the guess but will get another chance at that level.

After the quiz is over you can click RESTART to retry it without refreshing the page.

North America 100 Km Expanding Circles Top 3 Challenge – Choose City

First choose any North American 10K+ city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name the 3 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 3 largest in that area. As you enter cities you will see their rank within the current ring (1st, 2nd or 3rd 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 3 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 3 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.

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).

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 10k population. The same city cannot be used twice in this quiz.

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

First choose any North America 10K+ city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name the largest 10K+ North America 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 10K+ 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 'Toronto, Canada' - you will be shown a circle of radius 50km centered at Toronto. Naming the largest city in this circle (Toronto in this case) will cause another 'ring' of radius 50km to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the largest 10K+ North American 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.

North America Population Coverage

First choose a level by typing ‘beg’, ‘int’, ‘adv’ or ‘exp’ – beginner is 10,000,000, intermediate is 5,000,000, advanced is 1,000,000 and expert 500,000. Then, begin naming cities. 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 10,000 Mile Challenge

You have 15 min or 10K miles to travel the 48 states trying to total the highest total population of 50K+ cities visited. Naming notes: a handful of cities have the same names or must be entered to enter a longer city name...enter the city name followed by state abbreviation for these (i.e. ‘springfieldmo’ or ‘wichitaks’ (due to Wichita Falls, TX)) - for a handful you will need to just add a '.' at the end of the city name, such as 'miami.'. Therefore if a city isn’t working add the state abbr or period to the end of it, as it has one of these conflicts.

Please note – this quiz is only available to hugequiz Premium members, as it costs money for me to use the Google Directions API and this quiz is more costly than the other street view ones.

US 100 Closest Cities – Choose Any City

Begin by typing in any US city/town/etc in the format City, State - i.e. 'Boston, MA' - for a handful of places with the same name in the same state you will need to add a number corresponding to the population rank of that name in that state - i.e. 'Madison, WI1' for the largest of the two Madison, WI's. That city will appear as a pink marker and the 100 closest cities/towns/etc to that city (not including the one you chose) will also appear. High scores are kept only for cities of 25K+ population. 'Closest Cities' on bottom left shows the top number of closest cities in a row you have completed (i.e. a '3' if you have the 3 closest but not the 4th). Object is highest population among 100 closest, not total places.

US 100 Mile Coverage Challenge

Choose any 5K+ US city (AK & HI not included), then continue naming 5K+ cities which are within 100 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 100 Mile Expanding Circles 2nd Largest 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 100 mile circle/ring as the rings expand outward from your city of choice, trying to name SECOND LARGEST city in each circle. 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. If multiple cities have the name you submitted, only the largest one will be counted.

You accumulate points based on the population of the city you named in relation to the second largest city in the circle. A smaller city’s point total will be the ratio of its population to the largest, so if you name a city of 75K people and the largest city has 100K, you get 75 points. Naming the largest city will get you points based on the ratio of the 2nd largest city's population to the largest city's.

When you run out of time or end the quiz, you will see the current ring’s 2nd largest city at right (under ‘Answer Stats’ by your coordinates).

For example, if you choose ‘Chicago’ – you will be shown a circle of radius 100 miles centered at Chicago. Naming any city in this circle (including Chicago) will cause another ‘ring’ of radius 100 miles to appear outside that circle, however - you will want to try naming the SECOND LARGEST city you can to get more points. 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 the 2nd largest city. If there are not two cities within the next ring of that distance, the ring will keep expanding by that distance until two cities fall within it.

US 100K City Coverage Challenge

Enter a US 100K+ city - all other 100K+ cities within 100 miles will also fill in. Try to fill in all 100K cities in the smallest number of circles. NOTE - a few cities have the same name in different states, to enter these type in the city name followed by state abbreviation (i.e. 'springfieldma'). For Jackson and Wichita you need to enter the name followed by a period, i.e. 'jackson.' to avoid answering these cities for Jacksonville and Wichita Falls. States remaining will display when you have completed 35 states.

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

US 100K+ Cities Direction Challenge

The object of this quiz is to name (see NAMING NOTE below) as many US 100K+ cities as possible starting from the position you choose without skipping cities moving in the opposite direction. For example, if you choose 'S' you 'start' at extreme southern US to begin you are aiming to name the most southern US 100K+ city, then the 2nd most southern, and so on as you move north. Naming correct cities increases the population counter - the object is to get the highest total population among all cities you name. However, once you move in a direction you can't name cities already passed by (i.e. covered in the blue shaded region).

NAMING NOTE: You must end each city name with a period - i.e. 'Dallas.' - this prevents naming a city whose name is a partial name of the city you want to answer. If you name a city that has multiple answers, only the closest upcoming one will be answered for you, so you won't name the farther away city from the one you are trying to guess.

You don't start with a ton of time, however there is a 30 second time bonus for naming the next city in order, and a 15 second bonus for naming the 2nd or 3rd next city in order. So if you name well you can accumulate a lot of extra time.

hugequiz Premium members will see up to the largest 25 cities missed when the quiz ends - they will be pink markers you can mouseover to see city details.

US 10K+ Cities 50 Mile Expanding Circles Distance Challenge – Choose City

First choose any US 10K+ city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name any US 10K+ city in each 50 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 50 miles centered at Chicago and Chicago will be selected. You will also see a ring of radius 100 miles outside that circle. Naming a city in this ring will cause another ‘ring’ of radius 150 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 50-100 miles, it will expand to be a 50-150 mile ring, then 50-200 mile and so on until a qualifying city is found within the ring.

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.

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.

2806

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.

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.

450

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.

The first circle will include your city of choice as a possible answer if it is the largest 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 'Chicago, IL' - you will be shown a circle of radius 25 miles centered at Chicago. Naming the largest city in this circle (Chicago in this case) will cause another 'ring' of radius 25 miles to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the largest 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 mile 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 Largest 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 the LARGEST CITY in each circle. 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 largest one will be counted.

You accumulate points based on the population of the city you named in relation to the largest city in the circle. Naming the largest city will get you 100 points. A smaller city's point total will be the ratio of its population to the largest, so if you name a city of 75K people and the largest city has 100K, you get 75 points.

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, however - you will want to try naming the LARGEST city you can to get more points (Chicago therefore will yield 100 points). 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 large 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 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.

US Circle Max Population Challenge

Upon clicking START you will be shown 5 circles, one at a time, with increasing radii: 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 miles. The object is to move the circle to the location in the US such that it covers the most amount of people, based on US census tract data. You are scored based on how many people you cover compared to the maximum possible (score is based on the ratio of people in your circle compared to max possible - score is not an exact ratio but falls faster than that).

Only population in the US counts, not Canada/Mexico.

221

US Circle Population Guess Challenge

You will be shown 10 different circles of radius 25-200 miles. Using the slider (or manually typing into the box below the slider), guess the population contained within each circle then click SUBMIT for each one. Populations are based on the portion of 80K+ US Census Tracts contained within the circle. Canada and Mexico populations are NOT counted toward the total.

504

US Circle Population Selection Challenge

The object of this quiz is to click on the circle containing the largest population. When you begin you'll be shown 2 circles on the map with radii between 10 and 250 miles which do not intersect. Click on the one with the larger population within it (based on US census tract info) then 'Submit' - if you are correct you'll move on. One incorrect round and the quiz is over. Every 5 rounds the number of circles on the map will increase by 1. Try to build the longest streak of correct circles. Circles displayed will always be non-intersecting.

NOTE: You may have to zoom out to see all circles, occasionally a AK/HI circle will be included. Also, only population within the US is included in the total, any Canada/Mexico coverage counts as 0 population within the circle.

2933

US Circle Radius Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to adjust each circle's radius so it contains the target population shown at the right. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random US census tract (there are over 80K census tracts in the US). Also you will see an adjustable circle of radius 100 miles to start. Adjust the circle's radius by dragging it until it contains the target number of people shown - this target will be between 100K and 25 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target. Circle population is tallied by totaling all census tracts (small census areas of average 4K population) within that circle.

NOTE - population in Canada and Mexico is NOT counted at all, only US population within the circle.

2911

US Circle Radius Population Split Challenge

The object of this quiz is to adjust each circle's diameter so it splits the circle's population as evenly as possible. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random US census tract (there are over 80K census tracts in the US). Also you will see an circle between 200 and 500 miles radius. Adjust the diameter by rotating it using the endpoints, trying to split the halves into equal populations. Then click submit. You are scored on how close you have split the circle into 50% population in each half. Circle population is tallied by totaling all census tracts (small census areas of average 4K population) within that circle.

NOTE - population in Canada and Mexico is NOT counted at all, only US population within the circle.

US Cities Grid Identifier Challenge

The object of this quiz is to double-click the grid square where cities are located (the centroid of the city is used). When you begin you will have a grid randomly placed with size 5 degrees latitude by 5 degrees longitude. You will be told which city to locate - simply double-click on that city's grid square and you will move on to the next city. Each time you go to a new city the squares are randomly redrawn and with a size 10% smaller. The first 10 cities will be 250K+, the next 10 100-250K, next 10 50-100K and the balance (until you run out of time or guess wrong) will be 25-50K. When you guess wrong the correct location will be shown as a pink marker.

You do get a break if you are within 1 mile of the city but in the wrong square - you will not get credit for the guess but will get another chance at that level.

After the quiz is over you can click RESTART to retry it without refreshing the page.

8780

US Cities Grid Identifier Challenge – Choose State

First, enter a state abbreviation (i.e. 'CA') to choose a state.

The object of this quiz is to double-click the grid square where cities are located (the centroid of the city is used). When you begin you will have a grid randomly placed with size from 0.5x0.5 degrees up to 3x3 degrees (depending on the state's size). You will be told which city to locate – simply double-click on that city’s grid square and you will move on to the next city. Each time you go to a new city the squares are randomly redrawn and with a size 10% smaller. The first 10 cities will be among the state's 25 largest, the next 10 in 26th-50th, next 10 51st-100th and the balance (until you run out of time or guess wrong) will be 101st-250th largest. When you guess wrong the correct location will be shown as a pink marker.

You do get a break if you are within 1 mile of the city but in the wrong square - you will not get credit for the guess but will get another chance at that level.

For states with less cities the quiz may complete earlier - i.e. NV only has 19 places so it will choose 10 randomly from those and after those the quiz will be over as there is no 26th-50th largest tier.

After the quiz is over you can click RESTART to retry it without refreshing the page.

2615

US Cities Locator Streak Challenge

US City Name Link Challenge

The object of this quiz is to pick a city to start, then name successive 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 'Oak Park, IL' - now you are trying to name the closest city to Oak Park which starts with a 'K' 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.

There are 147 cities (mostly large to medium-sized) with multiple neighborhoods for which Zillow had available shapefiles, so if you try a city and it doesn't work it isn't one that is available. Neighborhoods will switch from blue to red shading as they are guessed. Quiz may take a few moments to load as there is a lot of data (over 40MB).

US Expanding Circle Population Challenge – Your Location

First enter a level by typing '5M', '2.5M', '1M', or '500K' - you begin with that population figure (shown by 'Population Remaining'...the bigger the number the easier the quiz). The quiz will center in on your location - you must have your browser's location feature on. A pink marker will be placed at this location.

The object of this quiz is to accumulate 'Population Gotten' by typing in US cities (see naming note below) moving outward from your marker without skipping cities. Any city skipped will count against your Population Remaining. Any city guessed correctly counts toward your Population Gotten. Population Gotten is your score for this quiz, this is the number you want to have as high as possible - it is the sum of the population of all your guesses.

Naming Note: You must add a '.' at the end of each city name for it to take - this is to prevent typing in another city name which is the first few letters of the city you wanted to type. There are a good number of these so to make it easiest I am simply requiring a '.' after each name you enter.

There are no time bonuses on this quiz.

A circle will be drawn going out to your last guess and showing that guess as a green marker and any missed cities that were closer as a red marker. All members can mouseover the green markers to see what their name, population and rank in terms of closeness to your location (i.e. #10 is 10th closest city). hugequiz Premium members can hover over the red markers as well to see the missed cities and their info.

1038

US Expanding Circles Challenge – Your Location

First choose a level by typing '5.', '10', '25' or '50' (need to add the '.' with 5 so you can type 50 without choosing '5') - then name the largest city in the circle/ring of that distance range as the rings expand outward from your location. You need to have your browser's location function working or the quiz will not load.

You MUST have a city within the initial distance you choose for your level - so this quiz will not work if you are not within the US (or at least not within your level's distance of a US city).

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 '10' - you will be shown a circle of radius 10 miles centered at your location. Naming the largest city in this circle will cause another 'ring' of radius 10 to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the largest 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 20-30 miles (assuming your level is 10 miles), it will expand to be a 20-40 mile ring, then 20-50 mile and so on until a city is found within the ring.

This quiz is only available in Head-To-Head mode.

First, choose a difficulty by typing ‘beg’, ‘int’, ‘adv, or ‘exp’ – Beginner is 5 degrees, Intermediate 2.5 degrees, Advanced 1 degrees, and Expert 0.5 degrees. Then, take turns entering the largest city in each grid square of the size based on your difficulty. Green squares contain answers. There will be a white (Player 1) and a black (Player 2) competitor - when you answer a square it will fill in with your color.

When you have a square with your color surrounded in all directions (north, south, east, west - whichever are available) by other squares also of your color, it becomes 'captured' and the city in that surrounded square has its population added to your score.

The player with the highest score at the end of the quiz wins.

So for example in this World quiz, Black has scored on Chicago (circled) and Anchorage, and white has scored on Madrid (circled) and Reykjavik.

US 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 US 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.

Please note, 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.

US Grid Path Challenge – All Cities – Choose State And Difficulty

First, choose any state by entering its abbreviation followed by a '1' or a '2' - i.e. 'CA1' or 'FL2'. 1 refers to the easier level (larger squares) while 2 refers to the harder level (smaller squares). Then, name any city in that state 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.

Grid squares will be 0.5 degrees for level 1 and 0.25 degrees for level 2, but larger for AK, CA and TX.

Please note, 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.

US Grid Population Challenge

First choose a grid size by typing '10', '5' or '2.5'. A grid of that size lat/long will be placed on the map (so if you choose '10' the grid width and height will be 10 degrees). Then, double click on the grid square with the highest population within it (based on US census tract information). The highest-population remaining square will give you 100 points, all the way down to 0 for the one with the smallest population. Try to obtain the most points by successively double-clicking on the highest-populated grid square.

525

US Grid Population Challenge – Choose State

First choose a state and grid size by typing the state abbreviation followed by either '1' or '2' ('1' is easier with grid squares twice the size). A grid will be placed on the map in the state you chose. Then, double click on the grid square with the highest population within it. The highest-population remaining square will give you 100 points, all the way down to 0 for the one with the smallest population. Try to obtain the most points by successively double-clicking on the highest-populated grid square.

This quiz uses extremely small census blocks to split up populations as far as they can be split according to the US census - so the population in each square will be very accurate based on how many people actually live within the boundaries of the grid lines.

US Grid Top 5 Challenge

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 cities in each square IN ORDER. 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).

The squares will start with '0/5' (or maybe fewer cities if less exist in that square). Click on a square and enter the largest city in that square not yet answered (so, the largest city if you have yet to answer a city in that square). You will then have '1/5' and need to click on that square to name the 2nd largest city, and so on until you complete all the cities up to 5 (or less if less exist).

US Incorporated Places, CDP’s And Unincorporated Places – Choose State

Begin by entering a state abbreviation. Then, try to reach the highest population by naming that state's incorporated places, census-designated places and unincorporated places. This is essentially every place tallied by the census for a state. The total population will not necessarily be the state's population as there is double-counting at times using all of the places.

Keep in mind this includes unorganized territories, grants, purchases, precincts, any type of place, some places even have numbered 'names.'

47

US National Monuments

58

US National Park System

Name as many of the official units of the US National Park System as you can. Some units compromise large land areas (large parks, trails, rivers), so the location on the map is somewhat approximate. Completing states is only done when you complete all the units entirely within that one state, so you can complete all 54 states/territories before getting all the answers (as there are units which cover multiple states). Names need to be known reasonably well, however last names suffice for places dedicated to just one person. Battlefields include all battlefield/military parks/sites. Some places, such as monuments, are not under the NPS, therefore are not on this quiz. Note - there is one location in the Pacific you may have to scroll westward to view.

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.

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

US Random 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. A randomly placed grid of that size will then be placed on the map. Then, name any US 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.

Please note, 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.

288

US Random Grid Population Challenge

First choose a grid size by typing '10', '5' or '2.5'. A randomly-placed grid of that size lat/long will be placed on the map (so if you choose '10' the grid width and height will be 10 degrees). Then, double click on the grid square with the highest population within it (based on US census tract information). The highest-population remaining square will give you 100 points, all the way down to 0 for the one with the smallest population. Try to obtain the most points by successively double-clicking on the highest-populated grid square.

616

US Random Grid Top 5 Challenge

Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 5-degree grid, hard is a 2.5-degree grid. The grid will be randomly placed on the map. Then, try to name the largest cities in each square IN ORDER. 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).

The squares will start with '0/5' (or maybe fewer cities if less exist in that square). Click on a square and enter the largest city in that square not yet answered (so, the largest city if you have yet to answer a city in that square). You will then have '1/5' and need to click on that square to name the 2nd largest city, and so on until you complete all the cities up to 5 (or less if less exist). If you name an incorrect city in a square it becomes 'locked' and turns red and you can no longer accumulate cities in that square.

You receive 1 point for the largest city in a square, 2 for the 2nd largest, and so on.

AK and HI are NOT included in this quiz.

At the end of the quiz the largest remaining city you haven't named will be shown in each square.

US River Cities – Choose River

First, name one of the following major rivers: Arkansas, Colorado (the one beginning in CO, not TX) , Columbia, Hudson, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Rio Grande or Snake by simply entering it. Then, name the cities along that river - a city is along the river if its US Census boundary intersects with the river. Cities are sorted along by coordinates which are either E-W or N-S depending on the direction of the river - they may not all be exactly in order along the river's path, they are ordered by latitude or longitude.

US State Largest Cities – Choose State & Number

Begin by choosing your state and number of cities by typing the state abbreviation followed by '25.', '50', '100' or '250' (you must use the '.' after the '25' to allow typing '250') - i.e. to choose the top 50 cities in New York, type 'NY50' - then, name the largest cities in the state you chose up to the number you chose trying to achieve the largest population. You won't be able to choose a number of cities that the state doesn't name - i.e. AZ only has 91, so 'AZ25.', 'AZ50' and 'AZ100' are the only options (the 100 option will simply be all 91). 'AZ250' is not possible as AZ100 chooses them all.

5867

US State Parks – Choose State

First enter any state by typing its abbreviation (e.g. 'CA') - then, name all of that state's state parks. In general, this is just going to be 'State Parks' and 'State Historic/Historical Parks' - however a handful of states such as Alaska only classify a few like this so I include areas like State Recreation Areas as well. There is no time limit on this quiz.

Naming notes: You typically must be precise naming the parks, including words such as 'Lake' or 'Canyon' - some shortened names are accepted. For parks named after people, usually the last name will suffice.
