First choose any Europe 10K+ pop city by entering it and choosing it in the drop-down box. Then, name any Europe 10K+ city in each 100 km circle/ring as the rings expand outward from your city of choice, trying to name SECOND LARGEST city in each circle. The first circle will include your city of choice as a possible answer.
PLEASE NOTE - You must type a '.' (period) after each city to submit it to prevent answering another city with a name you would be have to type to get your answer. If multiple cities have the name you submitted, only the largest one will be counted.
You accumulate points based on the population of the city you named in relation to the second largest city in the circle. A smaller city’s point total will be the ratio of its population to the largest, so if you name a city of 75K people and the largest city has 100K, you get 75 points. Naming the largest city will get you points based on the ratio of the 2nd largest city's population to the largest city's.
When you run out of time or end the quiz, you will see the current ring’s 2nd largest city at right (under ‘Answer Stats’ by your coordinates).
For example, if you choose ‘Paris’ – you will be shown a circle of radius 100 km centered at Paris. Naming any city in this circle (including Paris) will cause another ‘ring’ of radius 100 km to appear outside that circle, however - you will want to try naming the SECOND LARGEST city you can to get more points. After completing that circle, you now need to name any 10K+ Europe city in the new ring (but not within any previous circles/rings), again trying to name the 2nd largest city. If there are not two cities within the next ring of that distance, the ring will keep expanding by that distance until two cities fall within it.
Perhaps a list of the stations you’ve guessed somewhat like with the periodic table.
Possibly with a per letter scorecard
1st try 77 done
A National Rail stations quiz for all train stations in the UK would be neat.
More time. There’s no way you can get it all done in that time (yes, I see two people have done so, but I am very dubious). Also, it didn’t pop up afterwards with the top 50 most difficult ones. Was this intentional?
there’s 30 minutes now and there are bonuses along the way…so I bumped it up a bit.
Should have more time, I could have done way more with more time. Otherwise good 🙂
a ton of UK (especially London) new users here – so this is for you! let me know if i need to accept any alternates.
Mr. Holmes, first name Sherlock, would like you to know the street he lives on is the name of a Tubeway Station.
Very good quiz, thank you. Echoing gmaric.22, could have done with some more time. You’re asking for two seconds per guess which isn’t possible for us mere mortals.
ill bump it up a little soon
