US 20 Circle Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to place 20 circles of radius 100 miles on the map so that they contain the largest total population.

When you begin you'll be given a 100-mile radius circle centered on the map. Move it using the mouse and click SUBMIT. You will be given a score for that circle corresponding to the total population among all US census tracts within it (there are about 85K total US census tracts averaging about 4K people each). Try to complete all 20 circles with the highest total score.

Any INTERSECTING areas are only counted one time, so no census tract will be counted more than once.

A note: if one place is completely contained within another and you name the larger place, the interior place will also shade in, but you still will need to name it. This is rare but I don’t have a way around it.

Would it be possible to create a quiz that allows you to name all of them without having to go by state?
