Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 5-degree grid, hard is a 2.5-degree grid. Then, try to name the largest cities in each square IN ORDER. To name a city, you must first click on the grid square to make it have a GREEN border. Then, type in the city answer for that square followed by a '.' (a period).
The squares will start with '0/5' (or maybe fewer cities if less exist in that square). Click on a square and enter the largest city in that square not yet answered (so, the largest city if you have yet to answer a city in that square). You will then have '1/5' and need to click on that square to name the 2nd largest city, and so on until you complete all the cities up to 5 (or less if less exist). If you name an incorrect city in a square it becomes 'locked' and turns red and you can no longer accumulate cities in that square.
You receive 1 point for the largest city in a square, 2 for the 2nd largest, and so on.
AK and HI are NOT included in this quiz.
At the end of the quiz the largest remaining city you haven't named will be shown in each square.
The advanced level needs to be updated, since Eugene is now larger than Salem, Roy is bigger than Syracuse, and Herriman is bigger than Eagle Mountain. It says it was last updated in 2015, 11 YEARS AGO!
The quiz was always live – I changed that now so it states that. And now of those population comparisons is true, according to most recent estimates on citypopulation.de.
When I ended an untimed int quiz, the results never displayed and I was left instead with the message “Calculating stats…”
I’ll take a look and see if I can figure out the issue.
