The object of this quiz is to place 20 circles of radius 1000 km on the map so that they contain the largest total population.
When you begin you'll be given a 1000-km 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 contained within it based on world population density at https://human-settlement.emergency.copernicus.eu/index.php. Try to complete all 20 circles with the highest total score.
Any INTERSECTING areas are only counted one time, so no population will be counted more than once.
What’s the 12th japanese city ?
Chiba doesn’t even work
Sendai
I feel like this would work really well as a map quiz! In this format it can be hard to keep track of what you are missing and what you already typed, especially for China and India. Would be super cool with a version where you could see the locations of the missing cities!
To everyone interested, I found the solution! Just go to https://hugequiz.com/quizzes/world-largest-cities/ and, if you’re a premium member, type #475# (or whatever the current number of 1M cities are), otherwise just type the nearest cap, and there you go!
Bonus: No time limit there!
update please and thank you!
This quiz is basically live, even though the date updated date may be in the past. It’s current with citypopulation.de at all times 🙂
Honestly what is with the timing on some of these quizzes? Even if I could think of all of these cities in rapid succession and typed a hundred wpm I still wouldn’t have enough time to type them all.
there are bonuses along the way for almost all quizzes, and double time for PremIum members.
I respect all the work you put into these quizzes, and appreciate that you’re trying to mix it up to keep it interesting with the time bonuses. But I feel like most people would just prefer to simply have the time to exhaust their knowledge fully, because as it’s set up now it’s as much, if not more, about knowing what order to type the answers in rather than whether you know the answers or not. Example: You could know 98% of the answers, but if the answers you don’t know include, say, a couple in China, a couple in India, and one in Japan, you have zero hope of having enough time to type all the answers you know. Anyway, just one man’s opinion. Again, regardless of my critiques, I thank you and appreciate you for putting this all together!
The time limit is way too low, I know all the cities but can’t type them fast enough
Agreed
kinda agree
SO OH GOOD!!!
Some of these seem not right. For example Oslo, Vienna and Copenhagen are included although they have far less then 1m inhabitants, Tokyo has way less then in Reality as well… What numbers are used here?
citypopulation.de…all of those are over 1 million
Vienna definitely has more than a million…you might be right about Oslo and Copenhagen though…
Wikipedia — Population of 11th (10th?) Largest city in USA — 1,028,225 (US, TX)
that’s an estimated 2022 population – I’m using the 2020 census. I do update with estimates every few years but haven’t yet. Maybe next year.
