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 2nd largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the 2nd largest city). If you guess the largest city it will be based on the ratio of the 2nd largest city's population to the largest.

At the end of the quiz the 2nd largest city will show in each unanswered square, and for those answered the 2nd largest city will be listed next to your score if you didn't answer it.

5 minutes is absolutely insane for this, I was only able to around to even get to the 55th country on the list. That’s barely 2 seconds per city and even with premium that would only be 4.25 seconds/city. We should be able to take this quiz to show our knowledge, not be literally impossible because of the clock.
