Canada City Random Grid 1st-5th Largest City Challenge

Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 10-degree grid, hard is a 5-degree grid. A grid will be placed randomly on the map. Then, try to name the 1st-5th largest city in each square, depending on what the square label displays (so if the label says '3rd Largest' you are trying to name the 3rd largest city in that square). 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). You are given a score from 0 to 100 based on your answer's population compared to the target city accepted in that square (100 being you named the correct city).

At the end of the quiz the target city will show in each unanswered 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…”
