World Closest 250K+ City Random Location Challenge

Directions

The object of this quiz is to name to closest World 250K+ city to each purple marker that appears. When you begin the quiz you will be placed in a random location within a continent and between 60 North and 55 South latitude (might be over a body of water, but won’t be over an ocean) which will be denoted by a purple marker. Name the closest 250K+ World city to this marker by typing in the city name followed by a ‘.’ (period). You will then be given a score up to 100 (100 being the closest 250K+ city) based on how far away your city is in relation to how far away the closest one is. You get 25 cities for a maximum of 2500 points. If you name a city that has the same name as another possible answer, don’t worry – the closest city of that name will be chosen.

Enter closest 250K+ city followed by a '.' to submit.

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.

Great fun! Only thing might be that score is a bit cutthroat in highly dense areas where the answer is in close proximity – I suspect most highscores happened with no cities in China or India, otherwise even guessing within the correct part of the province/region gives <50 points. I don’t know how (or whether) to fix it though
