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 50K+ cities in each square IN ORDER. 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).
The squares will start with '0/5' (or maybe fewer cities if less exist in that square). Click on a square and enter the largest city in that square not yet answered (so, the largest city if you have yet to answer a city in that square). You will then have '1/5' and need to click on that square to name the 2nd largest city, and so on until you complete all the cities up to 5 (or less if less exist). If you name an incorrect city in a square it becomes 'locked' and turns red and you can no longer accumulate cities in that square.
You receive 1 point for the largest city in a square, 2 for the 2nd largest, and so on.
At the end of the quiz the largest remaining city you haven't named will be shown in each square.
Should UK really count? It has Gibraltar in continental Europe
australia?
It’s a continent.
but its also a country?
it’s not an island though – it’s defined as a continent instead.
I disagree, Australia is definitely an island. The continent of Australia also includes Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Tasmania, and New Caledonia; and you can also add Micronesia, Polynesia, and Melanesia.
In general it’s considered by most a ‘continental landmass’ too big to be an island, which is how it is defined here and on pretty much all other large quiz sites:
