The object of this quiz is to adjust each circle's diameter so it splits the circle's population as evenly as possible. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random US census tract (there are over 80K census tracts in the US). Also you will see an circle between 200 and 500 miles radius. Adjust the diameter by rotating it using the endpoints, trying to split the halves into equal populations. Then click submit. You are scored on how close you have split the circle into 50% population in each half. Circle population is tallied by totaling all census tracts (small census areas of average 4K population) within that circle.
NOTE - population in Canada and Mexico is NOT counted at all, only US population within the circle.
I love NYC, but not enough of a New Yorker to know of any alternative names I should accept, or any stations I might have missed – let me know in the comments! (Will remove comment when fixed).
Hello, we usually say the street number and then the word street or st behind. For example, 34st or 34th street. Same thing for the avenues, blvds, and parkways. It just sounds weird saying for instance,” hey want to go to northern. They won’t really know what you’re really talking about. Put Union Turnpike instead since it doesn’t really make sense. Maybe put Avenue U as well because I couldn’t really figure out that it was ave u. Some alternative names can be like “Hudson Yards”, “Columbus Circle”, or “Union Square.” This is basically all the suggestions I have found as a New Yorker for now.
I feel like 34th or 34st would be good enough
I’ve made these updates – for numbered streets I allow just the number (such as ’34’ or ‘140’).
Thank You
