Europe Circle Population Selection Challenge

The object of this quiz is to click on the circle containing the largest population within Europe. When you begin you'll be shown 2 circles with radii between 50 and 250 km on the map which do not intersect. Click on the one with the larger Europe population within it (based Europe population density 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.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL of Turkey is included in counting population (not just European portion), and the portion of Russia west of 61.5 degrees E (just east of Chelyabinsk). Nothing outside Europe (such as Africa or middle east other than Turkey) is included toward the population count within a circle.

France 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 populated France grid square (over 200K within France, courtesy of https://human-settlement.emergency.copernicus.eu/index.php). 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 50K 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.

btw are Russian cities counted when determining the closer larger city?
also it would be good to have a quiz on the cities which are the farthest from any city

by distances to the city larger than it. For instance #2 is Ponta Delgada all the way in the azores, with #1 being London, since the closest larger city than it is Moscow, or Istanbul

similar to the US version of this not including AK, I didn’t include Russian cities in the answers as they would be half of them 🙂

Not if you used only European Russia… at least give us Europe’s 2nd largest city — MOCKBA (as it would be spelled in the native language of it’s country)…
