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.

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?

Hmm whats the Ruhr area called here? I tried the various big cities, Ruhr, Ruhr area, Ruhr valley, Lower Rhine, Rhine Ruhr, Rhein Ruhr but none of those worked. I think Ruhr / Ruhr area / Ruhr valley are pretty common.

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.
