Do abbreviations or alternate spellings count?

US City Longitude Grid Blackout

Directions

Type ‘easy’ or ‘hard’ to begin the quiz. Easy is a 2-degree range, hard is a 1-degree range. Then, name any US city in each longitude range which fits the category label for that range.

AK and HI are not included as they often have only one eligible city in a range.

LETTER: means the city starts with that letter.
NUMBER RANGE: (such as 2-5, 10+) means the city contains that many letters (excluding spaces and special characters).
POPULATION RANGE: (such as 250-500K) means the city has that range for its population.
2+ WORDS means the city name has 2 or more words (words denoted by a space or hyphen).

At the end of the quiz the largest population missed answer will show in each range.

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.

East Northport is a town on Long Island and it doesn’t include it for E. I am positive that it is in the right longitude.

NY towns are not like cities, they are not incorporated like cities and not included on my largest places quizzes (nor would they be listed on any quiz site’s ‘largest cities’ quizzes for NY).
