US Grid Path Challenge – All Cities
DirectionsChoose a level by typing ‘beg’, ‘int’, ‘adv’, or ‘exp’ – beg level is 5 degree squares, int 2.5 degrees, adv 1 degree, and exp 0.5 degrees. Then, name any US city to start with by entering it (cities with the same name will choose the largest city of that name first). The grid square you are starting in will turn yellow – you now must name any city in any one of the adjacent grid squares (not including diagonal) – so any grid square directly north, south, east or west of the yellow one. Naming a city in one of these squares will turn your original square red and the current newly named city square yellow – continue in the same way trying to make a path of as many squares as you can. You are not allowed to return to a red square, and if you get ‘boxed in’ with no squares left to complete the quiz will also end.
Please note, as you name cities it will answer the largest city first, so if you are trying to answer a city in a square to the east but a larger city of that name occurs a square to the north, the north one will be answered.
Obviously, due to the layout and separation of squares it will be impossible to complete all of them.
hugequiz Premium members will see the largest missed city in each possible next square at the end of the quiz as purple markers.
Another new quiz type – let me know issues/thoughts. More geographies/versions coming soon.
This are so much fun! And even though I like other kinds too, this feels more educational than, say, coming up with some tiny city that just happens to fall in a tiny sliver of land that falls in a random cell. (I still love the random cells.)
Oops I commented on the wrong one… My response was about the new grid population challenge. I’ll get more into the path soon but I’ve been bad at it so far.
don’t lock yourself into the mojave desert lol
