Europe Functional Urban Areas (FUAs)

Directions

Europe 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 but ONLY within Europe. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random populated Europe grid square (there are over 90K 10x10 km grid squares used for the data, 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 5 and 100 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target.

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.

Europe 1K+ City Coverage

First choose a difficulty by typing ‘beg’, ‘int’, ‘adv, or ‘exp’ – Beginner is 200km radius, Intermediate 100km, Advanced 50km, and Expert 25km. Then, enter 1K+ population cities and all 1K+ population cities within that radius will automatically fill in.

hugequiz Premium members will see the 50 largest missed cities at the end of the quiz as large, purple markers.

NEW: Premium members can now also play a 3-hour time limit 'custom' coverage quiz of any distance from 5km to 500km, simply enter the distance followed by a '.' instead of choosing from one of the four levels, i.e. '350.' Quiz score is not recorded for the custom coverage option.

NOTE: the source citypopulation.de does not have a some Belarus/Russia/Ukraine smaller places such as villages so that data isn't available.

Spain City Grid 2nd Largest City Challenge

Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 2-degree grid, hard is a 1-degree grid. Then, try to name the SECOND LARGEST Spain city in each grid 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 2nd largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the 2nd largest city). If you guess the largest city it will be based on the ratio of the 2nd largest city's population to the largest.

At the end of the quiz the 2nd largest city will show in each unanswered square, and for those answered the 2nd largest city will be listed next to your score if you didn't answer it.

Swidnice and Povoa de Varzim didn’t work for me. They may be spelled wrong.

fixed Povoa – not seeing Swidnice listed as one, maybe it was recently added since I made the quiz, or a former FUA?

Birmingham should probably be accepted for West Midlands, and “Lisbon” as an alt spelling to “Lisboa.” Couldn’t get Ljubljana either, not sure if I had misspelled it twice or if I’m missing an alt spelling?

fixed Lisbon and the Slovenian ones. Leaving West Midlands as that is the name of the county area, the area is not just Birmingham.
