Europe Functional Urban Areas (FUAs)

Directions

Name all of the current Functional Urban Areas as defined by the EU as “being composed of a city and its commuting zone, FUAs encompass the economic and functional extent of cities based on daily people’s movements.” FUAs are generally named after cities, but are occasionally named for regions/counties/local government areas/etc. If a FUA is named after more than one location, any of the locations is accepted as an answer.

Europe City Grid 3rd 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 THIRD LARGEST European 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 3nd largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the 3nd largest city). If you guess the largest city it will be based on the ratio of the 3nd largest city's population to the largest.

At the end of the quiz the 3nd largest city will show in each unanswered square, and for those answered the 3nd largest city will be listed next to your score if you didn't answer it.

Europe Countries & US States Max Elevation Sorting Challenge

You begin with two Europe countries/US states shown in the grid. Upon starting, your job is to sort the countries/states in order from largest to smallest by max elevation (so countries/states with the highest max elevation first). The order is represented by the '1st' thru '16th' in each box. You can click on a country/state to move it to a higher position in the list - simply click once and it will turn red, then clicked another higher-ranked country/state to position the first country/state before it. Click submit to check your answers...if they are in order you will get a new country/state added to the end which needs to be positioned correctly, and so on until you either get one wrong or complete all 15 levels.

PLEASE NOTE: Only the portions of each country geographically in Europe are counted to determine the highest points. So no Asian portion of Turkey/Russia, African portion of Spain/Portugal, Greenland, etc.

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.
