First choose any Europe 10K+ pop city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name any Europe 10K+ city in each 100 km 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 ‘Paris’ – you will be shown a circle of radius 100 km centered at Paris. Naming any city in this circle (including Paris) will cause another ‘ring’ of radius 100 km 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 10K+ Europe 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.
Awesome quiz! There are far too many small villages, most of them with strange names, in my country of birth.
Are you truly Czech, or Czechloslovakian?
I was born in Czechoslovakia and I am Czech. But I think that I have already reached my limit on this quiz. By 75% you are left with tiny villages you need to know tons of to make any further progress. 80% is almost impossible unless you start typing in names from a list.
I lived there for 3 years and 44.47% is as far as I got..
Yep, you can basically just start typing random Czech words and you’re bound to find a village with that name.
Very true. You cannot, however, get 100% in this way like cheater Servaes did. I hope he’s a robot, because copying 6000+ names from a list doesn’t sounds like a lot of fun for a human being.
