Name all Australia places trying to achieve the highest total population. Quiz is not timed.

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 Australia mesh block area (there are over 350K mesh blocks across Australia, the smallest census tabulation area). Also you will see an adjustable circle of radius 100 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 25K and 5 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 output areas within that circle.

Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 5-degree grid, hard is a 2.5-degree grid. Then, name any Australian city in each grid square which fits the category label for each square.

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 250-500K) 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).

At the end of the quiz the largest population missed answer will show in each square.

First choose a difficulty by typing ‘beg’, ‘int’, ‘adv, or ‘exp’ – Beginner is 5 degrees, Intermediate 2.5 degrees, Advanced 1 degree, and Expert 0.5 degrees. Then, try to enter the smallest Australian cities in each grid square of the size based on your difficulty. Green squares contain answers. Adv and Exp levels may take a few moments to load.

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 smallest one will be counted.

You accumulate points based on the population of the city you named according to the following scale:
0 - 999 - 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

First choose a level by typing 'beg', 'int', 'adv' or 'exp' - beginner is 500,000, intermediate is 100,000, advanced is 50,000 and expert 25,000. Then, begin naming cities. 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 100,000. If you choose 'Alice Springs', then Alice Springs will fill in and because its population is under 100,000, successive cities moving outward from Alice Springs will fill in until the total population reaches at least 100,000. If you chose Sydney, only Sydney would fill in as its population already meets your threshold.
