Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 5-degree grid, hard is a 2.5-degree grid. Then, try to name the SECOND LARGEST 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 2nd largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the 2nd largest city). If you guess the largest city it will be based on the ratio of the 2nd largest city's population to the largest.
AK and HI are NOT included in this quiz as they often have grid squares with only one answer for this quiz.
At the end of the quiz the 2nd largest city will show in each unanswered square, and for those answered the 2nd largest city will be listed next to your score if you didn't answer it.
There’s some inconsistencies in how you accept st/rd/ave… i think it doesn’t accept road or avenue. Also some of the stations don’t accept either the colloquial name (which I get) or the shortened name that appears on the official map (like, accepting mass for “massachusetts”). I’d be happy to take a look at the data and add clarifications – i ride this public transit system a lot 🙂
