US Grid Top 5 Challenge

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.

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 THIRD LARGEST 10K+ North American city in each grid square.

You are given a score from 0 to 100 based on your answer's population compared to the 3nd largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the 3nd largest city).

Something odd seems to be happening with Indiana Dunes. I find them listed in BOTH my 20 Hardest and 20 Missed lists. The one in the Missed list shows that it was answered by 60.94% of test takers – while the one in the Hardest list shows it being answered by 59.45% of takers. I cannot spot a difference in the formatting of these two answers (I don’t, for example, see two spaces between the words in one of the list entries) – but something looks odd here. I have taken screen shots of both lists, and can share those if you like (although there does not appear to be a tool to add them to these comments – so you can reach out to me if you need those).
Thanks for all your work.

Congress designating Gateway Arch as a national park is just plain stupid.

It was previously the “Jefferson National Expansion Memorial”, and it is more than just the arch. It also includes the old courthouse and the westward expansion museum.
