North America 10K+ City Grid Challenge

Directions

Choose a number of cities by typing ‘3’, ‘5’, or ’10’. Then, enter the largest number of 10K+ population cities you chose in each 5-degree grid square. For example, if you choose ‘3’ you are only naming the 3 largest cities in each square. Only green squares contain answers. When you have 2 left to go in a square it will fill in faintly yellow, 1 left it will be orangish, and all done it turns red. A time bonus is given for completing a square (it is greater for higher levels).

hugequiz Premium members will see the top 25 missed cities at the end of the quiz as purple markers.

I’m just confused as to why Cleveland isn’t one of the largest cities in its square. What is larger other than Detroit?

If you choose ‘5’ to play then Cleveland will be in that square. However there are bigger cities (think Canada) than Cleveland when you choose the ‘3’ option.
