US 50 Largest Cities 4-Somes Blackout Challenge (Premium Only)

Directions

Upon clicking START you will be presented with a 5×5 grid of 25 of the 50 largest US cities.

The object of this quiz is to choose the top 4 in the given category for the cities shown in the grid. When you begin you’ll be given 25 different cities plus a category to name the top 4 in, which will display just above the grid. For example, if the category says ‘Top 4 Largest Area’ you are to click on the 4 cities with the largest area. If it says ‘Top 4 Lowest Avg Elevation’ you are to click on the 4 cities whose average elevation is the lowest. You can deselect the first or second city you chose on by re-clicking it, but when you choose the 4th city they will be submitted, removed from the grid, and you will get a score from 0-100 based on how close your set of 4 comes to the optimum set of 4 (which will be shown as a ‘Rank’ on top out of the # of possible sets of 4 for the last choice). When you’ve answered all 6 sets of 4 leaving 1 city remaining the quiz is over. You get a 100 point bonus for finishing the quiz in time so a total of 2500 possible points.

This quiz is only available to Premium members.
