Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 15-degree grid, hard is a 10-degree grid. Then, try to name the largest Asian cities (min 50K population) in each square IN ORDER. 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).
The squares will start with '0/5' (or maybe fewer cities if less exist in that square). Click on a square and enter the largest city in that square not yet answered (so, the largest city if you have yet to answer a city in that square). You will then have '1/5' and need to click on that square to name the 2nd largest city, and so on until you complete all the cities up to 5 (or less if less exist). If you name an incorrect city in a square it becomes 'locked' and turns red and you can no longer accumulate cities in that square.
You receive 1 point for the largest city in a square, 2 for the 2nd largest, and so on.
At the end of the quiz the largest remaining city you haven't named will be shown in each square.
I have been trying the Russian spellings and they won’t work. Maybe you can add them just for fun. I was trying Москва and Санкт-Петербург which translates to Moscow and St. Petersburg and it only accepts the English spellings
Also why does Irkustk turn into Ir
There’s a separate city called ‘Ir’ – also I won’t be adding all the russian spellings, way too much work to pull them all.
Darin, would you please accept Gorky (or Gor’kij) as an alternative spelling for Nizhny Novgorod and either Brezhnev (or Brešnev) as an alternative to Naberežnyje Čelny? I’m getting a little tired of always have to go to citypopulation to look up the One True Spelling™ for these cities lol.
It also gave me a quiz idea. Something along the lines of Most Difficult to Spell Cities worldwide, where you’d only accept the hard version.
Will add those.
Why would Brezhnev, a name which was used for only 6 first years out of 43 in the city’s history, should be accepted? I could understand accepting just Chelny, but why Brezhnev?
Gorky is also weird. What is wrong with Nizhny Novgorod? There are hundreds of places having NIzhny or even harder Verkhny in their names in this quiz, and Novgorod can hardly be difficult to spell.
