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.
Hello. Its a great quizz! But i cannot enter “Las Palmas de Gran Canaria” in Spain, this city being the number 9.
I added a note in directions – this quiz is Europe geographically only.
Would be nice if Russia was more than just the European area
The netherlands is just wrong? almere is number 6 but this quiz says nr 11? same for breda and nijmegen. I just dont get which cities you picked instead of those. And I am dutch so I would know
Netherlands census does not use cities but rather urban centers, the numbers are for those at http://citypopulation.de/en/netherlands/cities/
This is just incorrect, not how cities in the Netherlands work
The Dutch census tabulates “Urban Centres” and actually doesn’t even define “cities” when they count people – so I have to use that data per the source citypopulation.de
Is this urban area? And from which stats provider? Newcastle is top 10 in most rankings but outside it here.
citypopulation.de, and not urban area but city proper
yeah its wrong, also it is definetily urban area, NOT city proper, OSLO city proper about 620 000. this, over 1 000 000, which is the metropolitan area, which includes some of the top 10 cities of norway in it. the true ranking for norway is Oslo, bergen, trondheim, stavanger, drammen, kristiansand, lillestrøm(this never works on hugequiz and is always included into oslo, which it isnt.) sandnes, (also usually grouped with stavanger, again its not. fredrikstad (and no sarpsborg is not part of fredrikstad, infact there quite a large rivarly between them) tromsø, sandefjord(for some reason usually grouped into “vestfold” and then asker (asker too gets grouped into oslo)
Yeah I’m not sure how the Norwegian census tabulates people though – they have both these ‘urban settlements’ like here:
https://citypopulation.de/en/norway/cities/ua/
And then also municipalities here:
https://citypopulation.de/en/norway/cities/
And neither of those actually matches exactly with what some people call a ‘city’ in Norway – so I’m using the ‘Urban Settlements’ for my quizzes for now. This is the case in other countries where the census isn’t really defining a ‘city’ – such as Netherlands.
Croatia census counts settlements within Grad Zagreb as separate places.
Its not correct..
gonna need you to be more specific.
