Upon clicking START you will be presented with a 5×5 grid of 25 of the capital cities of African countries.
The object of this quiz is to choose the top 3 in the given category for the capitals shown in the grid. When you begin you’ll be given 25 different capitals plus a category to name the top 3 in, which will display just above the grid. For example, if the category says ‘Top 3 Largest Population’ you are to click on the 3 capitals with the largest population. If it says ‘Top 3 Lowest Population Density’ you are to click on the 3 whose population density is the lowest. You can deselect the first or second capital you chose on by re-clicking it, but when you choose the 3rd capital they will be submitted, removed from the grid, and you will get a score from 0-100 based on how close your set of 3 comes to the optimum set of 3 (which will be shown as a ‘Rank’ on top out of the # of possible sets of 3 for the last choice). When you’ve answered all 8 sets of 3 leaving only 1 capital the quiz is over. You get a 100 points bonus for completing the sets making for a total possible score of 2500.
Note: I set the Vatican's Cost Of Living to the same as Rome's, as there is no data for it.
I got 4,819, but didn’t know at least 15-20 of them at all
also please get rid of the timer, it isn’t because it takes me a really long time to find the city, but it isn’t uncommon for it to take 30 seconds just to load a specific country
I’ll bump it up a bit.
yayyy 40th place
some cities are missing, like cape town, port elizabeth, bujumbura… from what year is the list of the cities?
They aren’t in the top 100…reason being is I’m not using municipality populations for SA but rather “places” according to citypopulation.de, otherwise I would be double counting SA populations
I call it an achievement to get 4,750 points without seeing a single border.
When in doubt – Nigeria.
yeah lmao
