Directions

First choose any state by typing the state’s abbreviation (i.e. ‘OH’) – then, double-click on the marker for each of the top 50 largest cities (or less for NV) in that state as they come up. Markers will all be red to begin. Clicking on a the correct shown city will turn the marker green. Clicking on the incorrect city will cause no change in the markers.

US Circle Population Selection Challenge

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.

Canada Circle Radius Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to adjust each circle's radius so it contains the target population shown at the right. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random Canada dissemination area (there are over 55K dissemination areas across Canada, the smallest census tabulation area). Also you will see an adjustable circle of radius 100 km to start. Adjust the circle's radius by dragging it until it contains the target number of people shown - this target will be between 10K and 5 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target. Circle population is tallied by totaling all output areas within that circle.

Adjust the circle's radius by dragging it until it contains the target number of people shown - this target will be between 100K and 25 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target. 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.

This quiz is pretty good, but it’s really annoying when you accidentally double click on a green pin because it’s so close to a red one. It would be nice if double clicking the correct city would also disable the button.

yeah I’m going to leave as is, in directions I do mention the need to zoom in on occasion.

Great idea for a quiz! It would be fun to have this quiz where we can toggle through instead of just with the forced order. Also, maybe expand it to include ALL of the cities in a state.
