World Google Street View Challenge (Large Cities)

Directions

You will be given a Google Street View window randomly placed near the center of a 1M+ population world city in which you can move around in. Name the world city where you are located within two minutes. The faster you answer, the more points you get. Max points is 100 for guessing in 10 seconds or less. Keep in mind Google Street View does not cover a good portion of the globe so only covered cities can be shown. You will not get more than 2 India or 2 China cities.

Type 'start' to begin.

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.

World Circle Population Guess Challenge

You will be shown 10 different circles of radius 250-2000 km. Using the slider (or manually typing into the box below the slider), guess the population contained within each circle then click SUBMIT for each one. Populations are based on world population density at https://human-settlement.emergency.copernicus.eu/index.php.

World 20 Circle Population Challenge

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.

The scoring doesn’t take into account pausing the game. I paused the game for a long time, and when I came back I got a negative score of -1500

yeah I think for these street view ones I can’t take pausing into account, sorry.

as of now, China and India have very limited street view coverage, so you may not see much if any from those two countries on this quiz.
