Europe 1st Level Administrative Divisions 10×10 Blackout

Directions

Fill in the 100 squares with 1st-level European country administrative regions based on the categories in the top row and the country or region given in the cell. For example, if you are looking at a cell with ‘Germany’ in its row, and ‘Starts With B’ in the column, that cell can be filled in with ‘Bavaria.’

Occasionally a cell may not have a qualifying answer, in which case it will appear blank and be a gimme.

PLEASE NOTE: only the Turkish and Russian divisions that lie within Europe are included.

For this quiz, Balkans includes the entire countries of Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia & the European portion of Turkey. Nordic refers to Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.

Europe 10K+ City Grid Blackout Largest City Challenge

Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 5-degree grid, hard is a 2.5-degree grid. Then, try to name the LARGEST European city in each grid square which fits the category label for each square. To name a city, you must first click on the grid square to make it have a GREEN border. Then, type in the city answer for that square followed by a '.' (a period). You are given a score from 0 to 100 based on your answer's population compared to the largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the largest city).

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 50-100K) 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 unanswered square, and for those answered the largest city will be listed if you didn't answer it.

UK 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 UK output area (there are over 200K output areas - also called Data Zones in Scotland and N Ireland - across the UK, 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.

NOTE - This quiz does NOT include any people in Ireland or other countries outside the UK, you are only trying to total the target number of people within the UK.

Nice idea! some remarks:

Corse counts on population 250-500k, but not on 2-5 letters
Mount Athos counts as 2-5 letters

Locations are typically under English names, so Corse is under Corsica (I adjusted it to display as ‘Corsica’). Fixed Mount Athos.

Neither Faroes nor Faroe Islands worked for “Nordic/Ends with S”. Is that intentional and do they count for the other relevant Nordic/Denmark categories?

yes it’s intentional they are not counted among Denmark’s first level divisions, which are just the five regions of mainland Denmark.

I had more than half of the table blank at the start already… probably better to pick clues that would have more answers :/

yeah unfortunately due to there not being a lot of different common first/last letters and other characteristics, there will be a good number of blanks on this one.
