Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 5-degree grid, hard is a 2.5-degree grid. A random grid will be placed on the map. Then, try to name the THIRD LARGEST 10K+ 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.
surprised to see iasi on here
In their native language both Cologne and Vienna would count since their names in German are Köln and Wien, both one syllable.
Yes but I’m using English versions of names for this quiz.
What about Kielce and Trier?
Gdańsk is listed as two syllables on the Wiki page, with the audio sample in the Name section instead of in the opening paragraph.
Will add those two. I have Gdansk as one syllable in my other quizzes and native Polish speakers (I speak some myself) do pronounce it as one syllable.
I thought Lyon had two syllables.
In the French pronunciation the two parts are diphthongs, I am counting those as one syllable.
Player from Lyon here : definitely one syllable in French pronouncing.
