The object of this quiz is to click on the circle containing the largest population. When you begin you'll be shown 2 circles on the map with radii between 10 and 250 miles which do not intersect. Click on the one with the larger population within it (based on US census tract info) then 'Submit' - if you are correct you'll move on. One incorrect round and the quiz is over. Every 5 rounds the number of circles on the map will increase by 1. Try to build the longest streak of correct circles. Circles displayed will always be non-intersecting.
NOTE: You may have to zoom out to see all circles, occasionally a AK/HI circle will be included. Also, only population within the US is included in the total, any Canada/Mexico coverage counts as 0 population within the circle.
isn’t san jose costa rico bigger than san jose in California?
No, city proper population it is a bit smaller.
impossible challenge: play this game without yelling hurry up at the screen
This quiz doesn’t work. Clicking Mexico City gives me points for NYC. Each city is wrong.
you will get a small number of points if you guess far away from where you are supposed to click…it’s working fine for me.
Just a note that Kingston is also the name of one of Canada’s bigger cities.
true – but putting the country would be a bit of a hint, so it needs to known which Kingston is quite a bit bigger than the other to be in the top 100.
I took the quiz once, and it lists me in “your scores” as having taken it 30 or times – looks like it may be recording a new score with each city.
Same. I think it’s when you keep guessing after time runs out.
this bug should be fixed now.
