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 largest cities in each square IN ORDER. 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).
The squares will start with '0/5' (or maybe fewer cities if less exist in that square). Click on a square and enter the largest city in that square not yet answered (so, the largest city if you have yet to answer a city in that square). You will then have '1/5' and need to click on that square to name the 2nd largest city, and so on until you complete all the cities up to 5 (or less if less exist). If you name an incorrect city in a square it becomes 'locked' and turns red and you can no longer accumulate cities in that square.
You receive 1 point for the largest city in a square, 2 for the 2nd largest, and so on.
AK and HI are NOT included in this quiz.
At the end of the quiz the largest remaining city you haven't named will be shown in each square.
I’m trying to figure out the correct name for the Barren Island and Plumb Beach neighborhoods in Brooklyn (can’t seem to get those to fill in, any other names for those spots?)
Plumb Beach was spelled Plum Beach – fixing. not sure what the other is called in this quiz, sorry – can’t remember my source either.
Hi again, figured out it’s in there as Floyd Bennett Field (which is the name of the field in the center of the area). I think Barren Island would be a more appropriate listing for that neighborhood, if possible to change.
Actually, on further reading, it looks like Floyd Bennett is the name of the historic district, so that name is appropriate. Can probably be left as is.
by the way, what source did you use for this?
unfortunately I don’t remember the source for this one
My score makes it obvious I’m a west coast guy 😀
Darin, I hope you’re prepared for the ridiculous indignation and squabbling that this quiz is going to cause…
