World Closest 1M+ City Challenge

Directions

First type ‘start’ to begin. Then you will be given a world city of 1M+ population. Try to name the closest other 1M+ population city. Only the 5 closest 1M cities will be accepted as an answer. You can type ‘next’ to skip the current city. Getting the closest city will yield 100 points. 2nd thru 5th closest will give a lower point total, based both on the rank of the city (2nd thru 5th, minus 10 points for each ranking below first) and how much farther the guessed city is away than the closest city. 10 total cities and 3 minutes total time, no maximum time for a single city. 10 unique countries will be used for the cities.

Type 'start' to begin.
