You begin with two Europe countries/US states shown in the grid. Upon starting, your job is to sort the countries/states in order from largest to smallest by max elevation (so countries/states with the highest max elevation first). The order is represented by the '1st' thru '16th' in each box. You can click on a country/state to move it to a higher position in the list - simply click once and it will turn red, then clicked another higher-ranked country/state to position the first country/state before it. Click submit to check your answers...if they are in order you will get a new country/state added to the end which needs to be positioned correctly, and so on until you either get one wrong or complete all 15 levels.
PLEASE NOTE: Only the portions of each country geographically in Europe are counted to determine the highest points. So no Asian portion of Turkey/Russia, African portion of Spain/Portugal, Greenland, etc.
hugequiz Premium members will see country/state max elevations when the quiz is over.
This says 71% of people found Ankeny, IA. I have a feeling that the number of people who actually knew about Ankeny, IA before they started this quiz is a little lower than 71%…
I found some ‘A’ Places that Cityquiz.io takes that this one doesn’t – i.e Attu Station, AK (though it does technically have a population of 0) and Angola on the Lake, NY (which is accepted separately from Angola NY on cityquiz, and even appears as a separate location on google maps) – also are the NJ and PA Townships (i.e Aberdeen Township and Aston Township) just accepted under Aberdeen and Aston, respectively?
May be good to cross-reference with Cityquiz.io to ensure you didn’t miss any places for other letters as well
Those are CDP’s/hamlets/etc not cities – not on my city quizzes.
Oh I see – So they’re not incorporated? Some I’ve found this one to be missing are quite large – like tens of thousands in population – well, I dunno – your quiz, your rules, I suppose lol
Just trying to help – not that I’m a geographer… just find these quizzes interesting on what one quiz counts as valid that others don’t
Yeah a lot of places actually aren’t ‘cities’ in the sense they aren’t incorporated. This includes townships in most states, towns in most states, etc.
Confusing stuff if you ask me lol. And yet something about discovering place names is almost addicting
On the Y-quiz it shows two cities within the 100-250K range which don’t exist(?)
Yonkers and Yuma. I see them on the map.
Must have blacked-out or something
Did you forget Texarkana, AR for the letter “T”?
Nope – I just tried it and it took.
Weird. I just tried it earlier and only Texarkana, TX showed up.
Weird issue for L i think, everything seems to be doubled on the stats bar. For example, it says 0/100 states completed and the total number of cities for every amount (i.e. 1M+,500K-1M,…) is listed as twice as much as their actually is.
hmm can’t reproduce this – try just reloading the quiz. it’s working fine for me for “L” and other letters.
This whole quiz could be ruined if somebody founds a city called “Alldone.”
Such as if Aldan, PA were to name itself “Alldone, Pennsylvania” as a joke. ^^
On the D quiz, is “Deer Lodge, MT” actually Anaconda-Deer Lodge? If so, that’s sneaky, Darin.
no – Deer Lodge is a separate place, then ‘Anaconda-Deer Lodge’ is under the A’s.
