Tried for Fargo when I already had Minneapolis. “fargo” did nothing, so I tried “fargous” and the quiz ended. I don’t think I had the 1 jump yet either.
This still happens. Definitely hadn’t jumped to the other continent this time.
Also, in the instructions it says “SEE NAMING NOTES below quiz.” but there are no notes on this page.
And how does one enter Jacksonville FL (or any other city where there are 2 or more with the same name in the same country)?
I’d love to see a version of this quiz with extra lives. It’s so annoying to have the entire quiz completely end when you’re on a roll.
How do you enter Muscat, Oman?
i think when i got the data for this quiz the source i used had muscat’s city proper population under 50k.
Aaaaah! I entered san francisco. for the US city and died. (It was definitely valid, just not the proper input, I guess.)
This quiz can be tricky because of the duplicate names… “sanfrancisco.” will activate a small city in Argentina. For the US city you have to enter san franciscous.
doing well until i put in palma sp . game over. i thing it thought i was typing palmas.
yeah it’s just palma. with the period.
Tanta comes up whilst typing Tantan. Port More still hasn’t been fixed.
both should be good now.
How can San Pedro (Ivory Coast) be entered? I’ve tried several combinations but none worked. Also, is there any way to know the maxiumum score for this quiz? 8640 is a theoretical number, but some places like Australia, New Zealand, Honolulu, Anchorage, Reykjavik, Cape Verde, Mauritius, Fiji etc are not reachable… unless you start there but it’s kind of dumb. 🙂
Ok found it, it’s San Pedroco. I was thinking the country in terms of Ivory Coast.
Love the quizzes by the way! Sorry to complain!
I was done with NA/SA (or at least what I could do), and then typed in Dublin Ireland to try to start the “Rest of the World” section but the game ended when I typed in Dublin. I don’t know why…
hmmm i just tried a couple times doing some NA/SA cities then entering Dublin and it worked fine – did you perhaps enter a non NA/SA city before Dublin by accident and didn’t see it on the map?
The only thing I noticed is that Dublin, CA is not featured (or can’t be entered) and I couldn’t find a way to enter Athens, GA… as per your instrucions it should be Athensus. No big deal, they’re far from essencial and given the scope of this quiz it must be a pain to get all names right.
athens is fixed now – Dublin, CA had a 2010 census pop under 50K. i’ll be updating the world cities database with 2013 US estimates soon (when Dublin went over 50K).
Portmore (Jamaica) needs a period beacuse of Port Moresby… I don’t think it’s that clever to go to Oceania for this particular quiz but all options should be available the same.
fixing.
If you want “Tumen”, Russia, but type “Tyumen” (one way of transliterating the Russian name), you get a circle somewhere else.
Hummm… Tumen is small city in China, Tyumen a larger one in Russia… both are correctly displayed in the quiz… or am I missing something?
it is usually Tyumen Russia (googling Tumen, Russia brings up Tyumen), so i don’t have ‘tumen’ as a spelling at all for it, only for the Chinese city.
The game ended for me on that one too, and I intended the Russian city (never heard of the Chinese one). Anglicisations can be funny. I’d be a bit more generous on that
I was trying to type in Fredericton, New brusnwick to continue my north america string, and accidentally typed Frederick, starting a circle in Mauritius. Obviously I messed up, but if there is some way to add a feature allowing you to undo a turn only if its your first circle, could you implement that?
not really, sorry.
i’m fixing some small naming issues now – i’m sure there are more, just let me know in the comments here and i’ll get to fixing them.
