World Circle Population Selection Challenge

The object of this quiz is to click on the circle containing the largest population. When you begin you'll be shown 2 circles with radii between 100 and 2500 km on the map which do not intersect. Click on the one with the larger population within it (based world population density info) then 'Submit' - if you are correct you'll move on. One incorrect round and the quiz is over. Every 5 rounds the number of circles on the map will increase by 1. Try to build the longest streak of correct circles. Circles displayed will always be non-intersecting.

World Grid Population Challenge

First choose a grid size by typing '30', '20', or '10'. A grid of that size lat/long will be placed on the map (so if you choose '20' the grid width and height will be 20 degrees). Then, double click on the grid square with the highest population within it (based on world 10km x 10km population density estimates). The highest-population remaining square will give you 100 points, all the way down to 0 for the one with the smallest population. Try to obtain the most points by successively double-clicking on the highest-populated grid square.

World 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 populated world grid square (there are over 800K 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 500 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 2.5 and 250 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target.

Note – you should see markers for the islands when the quiz starts – if not try reloading.

Would be cool to see the time for the high scores as well, since so many people got to 100

Tupinambarana is now a former island, split into four separate ones, according to Wikipedia. How you even found it to put on the list is a small mystery for me. I can´t find it on google maps, or anywhere else.

the data is from here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_islands_by_area
the western part is considered one fluvial island and qualifies by itself

Sadly there is not nearly enough time for this to be playable.

There’s no time to even attempt to 100% unless you pay, the time limits are too strict. Same thing with not being able to see literally any missed answers. These are features that are fundamental, not premium

There are time bonuses. Yes some quizzes are tougher to compete than others without becoming Premium, but that is how I monetize my website without using ads.
