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.

Naming Notes: you must end each city name with a '.' to submit it - this prevents answering a city whose partial name may be an incorrect answer.

8515

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 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.

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.

1426

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 100K+ City Pairs Proximity Blackout

Upon clicking START you will be presented with a 5x5 table of US 100K+ cities. The object of the quiz is to pair up cities two at a time which have the shortest distance between them.

Single click on a city's text and it will highlight red. To choose the other city of the pair click another city's text. Also, you can re-click on the first city 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 cities, 0 points to the farthest apart pair - scores decrease based on the distance of your two cities related to the possible range of distances. Those two cities will then be replaced with their score and you will now choose the closest pair of cities from the remaining 23 cities 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 cities 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.

You will only get a maximum of 2 cities in the same state. AK & HI are not included as they skew the points quite a bit.

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+ Cities Proximity Blackout

The object of this quiz is to name close pairs of 10K+ cities for the two states represented in each cell. For example, if the top column has 'NY' and the cell shows 'TX' you are trying to name the pair of 10K+ population cities (one in NY and one in TX) which are the closest. Enter guesses by typing the city names with their state abbreviation in either order followed by a '.' to submit the answer. Columns and cells are randomly chosen each time.

Example: to enter 'El Paso' and 'Syracuse' for the NY-TX combo, type 'elpasotxsyracuseny.' or 'syracusenyelpasotx.' with the period at the end - this would be a poor guess as El Paso is far away from NY and Syracuse isn't that close to TX among NY cities.

PLEASE NOTE: You may need to wait a few moments for the score to appear in the cell.

The pair of cities with the shortest distance gets a score of 100 points and the scores will decrease down to 0 for the pair of cities farthest apart. Scores are based on how close you are in that range to the closest distance.

Your final score is the average of your total points over the 25 squares. Incomplete squares count as 0.

456

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.

HOWEVER, for this 'No Repeats' quiz you cannot name a city which has already been covered in blue - makes for a bit more of a challenge to cover the states!

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.

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 Challenge – Choose City

First choose any US city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name the largest 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 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 25K+ City Name Link Challenge

The object of this quiz is to pick a 25K+ US city to start, then name successive 25K+ 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 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 50 Mile 50-Circle Coverage Challenge

You start with a blank map. Double-click on the map to create a circle of 50 miles radius centered on that location. All US cities within 50 miles of that circle will appear and count toward your total cities. The object is to cover as many cities as possible in 50 circles.

US 50 Mile Expanding Circles Challenge – Choose City

First choose any US city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name the largest US city in each 50 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 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 50 miles centered at Chicago. Naming the largest city in this circle (Chicago in this case) will cause another 'ring' of radius 50 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 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 50 Mile Expanding Circles Top 3 Challenge – Choose City

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, IL' - you will be shown a circle of radius 50 miles centered at Chicago. Naming all of the 3 largest cities in this circle (Chicago in this case is one) will cause another 'ring' of radius 50 miles to appear outside that circle. You now need to name the 3 largest US 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 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.

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, IL' - you will be shown a circle of radius 50 miles centered at Chicago. Naming all of the 5 largest cities in this circle (Chicago in this case is one) will cause another 'ring' of radius 50 miles to appear outside that 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.

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.

US City Neighborhoods – Choose City

First choose a US city by typing it in the format 'City, State' - i.e. 'San Francisco, CA' (use 'St' for 'Saint' and no punctuation other than the comma separating city and state) - then name the neighborhoods in that city mostly based on Zillow.com neighborhood divisions - if I find a better file other than Zillow's I will replace a city with that one. 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 City Pairs Proximity Blackout – Choose State

First, choose any state by entering its abbreviation - i.e. 'CA' - you will then be presented with a 5×5 table of random cities among the top 100 in that state (may be under 25 cities if less than that exist in that state). The object of the quiz is to pair up cities two at a time which have the shortest distance between them. Any cities with the same name in a state were left out of this quiz to avoid confusion.

Single click on a city’s text and it will highlight red. To choose the other city of the pair click another city’s text. Also, you can re-click on the first city 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 cities, 0 points to the farthest apart pair – scores decrease based on the distance of your two cities related to the possible range of distances. Those two cities will then be replaced with their score and you will now choose the closest pair of cities from the remaining 23 cities 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 all pairs of cities leaving only 1 or 2 left.

You get a 100 point bonus for completing all pairs within 5 minutes.

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.

937

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.

US Great Circle States Challenge

You begin the quiz with 25 different routes between cities listed in the table. The routes are chosen randomly from among all possible pairs of the 50 largest US cities plus the largest city in each state. No route will have less than 5 total states.

You are to name the states (using state abbreviations) in order you cross over when flying from the first city to the second. City routes are from the city centers NOT the airports. You are answering the states in order of first to last based on when you FIRST fly over them (occasionally you may fly over a state, then another, then the previous state again, do NOT list the first state twice). Each state therefore is only answered once. The first state is always the state you depart from. The last state is generally the destination state, but not always (as you may have crossed over it previously then another state, then back over it to land).

You get 5 seconds added for each state you guess correctly. If you enter an incorrect state or a state not in the right order, the game will end.

DC is NOT included, only the 50 states.

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.

496

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.

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.

Circles will be larger for AK and smaller for smaller Northeast states. Otherwise they will be the same from state to state based on the city's population.

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.

247

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.

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 5-Somes Blackout Challenge

Upon clicking START you will be presented with a 7x7 grid of 49 of the 50 US states.

The object of this quiz is to choose the top 5 in the given category for the states shown in the grid. When you begin you’ll be given 25 different states plus a category to name the top 5 in, which will display just above the grid. For example, if the category says ‘Top 5 Largest Area’ you are to click on the 5 states with the largest area. If it says ‘Top 5 Smallest Max Elevation’ you are to click on the 5 states whose max elevation is the lowest. You can deselect the first or second state you chose on by re-clicking it, but when you choose the 5th state they will be submitted, removed from the grid, and you will get a score from 0-100 based on how close your set of 5 comes to the optimum set of 5 (which will be shown as a ‘Rank’ on top out of the # of possible sets of 5 for the last choice). When you’ve answered all 9 sets of 5 leaving only 4 states the quiz is over. You get a 500 points bonus for completing the sets making for a total possible score of 5000.

This quiz is only available to Premium members.

US State Capital Pairs Proximity Blackout

Upon clicking START you will be presented with a 5×5 table of US state 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.

US State Capitals Triplets Blackout Challenge

Upon clicking START you will be presented with a 5×5 grid of 25 of the US state capitals.

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 Highest Elevation’ you are to click on the 3 whose elevation is the highest. 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: For the 'Most Recent' and 'Earliest' category, this is referencing the year the city became the capital of the state, not when the capital was founded/established or when the state became a state.

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.
