World Capitals Name Link Challenge

Directions

The object of this quiz is to pick a world country capital to start, then name successive captials such that the next capital’s first letter is the last letter of the current capital and the next capital is as close to the current capital as possible. NOTE: You must type a ‘.’ (period) after the capital name to submit it. The same capital cannot be used twice in this quiz.

For example, you start with ‘Paris’ – you are now trying to name a capital city starting with ‘S’ (the last letter of ‘Paris’) which is closest to Paris. If you answer ‘Sofia’ – now you are trying to name the closest capital to Sofia which starts with a ‘A’ and so on.

The quiz ends at the 25th capital from the starting one. You get 100 points for naming the closest capital on each step, and they decline based on the distance your capital was from the closest. You get 15 minutes to complete the quiz.

Enter capital city followed by a period to begin (i.e. 'Paris.')...

World City Random Grid Blackout Largest City Challenge

Type 'easy' or 'hard' to begin the quiz. Easy is a 15-degree grid, hard is a 10-degree grid. Then, try to name the LARGEST city in each grid square which fits the category label for each square. The grid will be placed randomly each time. 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 largest city accepted in that square (100 being you named the largest city).

LETTER: means the city starts with that letter.
NUMBER RANGE: (such as 2-5, 10+) means the city contains that many letters (excluding spaces and special characters).
POPULATION RANGE: (such as 50-100K) means the city has that range for its population.
2+ WORDS means the city name has 2 or more words (words denoted by a space or hyphen).

At the end of the quiz the largest population missed answer will show in each unanswered square, and for those answered the largest city will be listed if you didn't answer it.
