Upon clicking Start you will be shown 15 satellite images of US cities. Name the city shown. Occasionally the boundaries of another city may fall within the image but you are naming the city the image is focused on (the center area of the image). You can mouseover the image to zoom in. Cities selected from over 150 possible.
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 remember you had something like this on sporcle, with random country/state poping up with 10 seconds to answer the largest city bot yet answered. Or something like that. Loved it.

I would love to choose the minimum population, like 500k, 250k, 200k, and, of course, 100k.
Also, this would be a great map quiz.
If I could remember all of the cities in metro LA, PHX and DFW and all of those damn cities in southern FL I’d have them all.
When it comes to Florida, get ready to learn a bunch of cities with the word “palm” in their names!
Could we get a version of this quiz for 75K and 50K as well? It’s like a checklist then for the major colors on the All Places quiz.
i know them, i cant spell them
Has this been updated without the DATA UPDATED changed? I see al these ‘new’ cities all of a sudden
Oh yeah this one is basically live – I’ll changed the Date Updated to say Live.
These kind of changes could be the last straw for people with autism 😛
I would love to see this format for other geographical regions!
I remember you had something like this on sporcle, with random country/state poping up with 10 seconds to answer the largest city bot yet answered. Or something like that. Loved it.
Same. Also the one where you were given randomly the first two letters of a US city and you could skip or guess until you time ran out
I also loved both of the above-mentioned quizzes!
