Click START to begin - then fill in the 100 squares with World countries (see NAMING NOTE below) based on the categories in the rows and cells. For example, if you are looking at a cell with 'Asia' in its row, and 'Starts With A' in the column, that cell can be filled in with 'Armenia.' Many shortened names of countries are accepted, such as DRC, CAR, UAE, UK, US, etc. Answering a country which doesn't fit in any remaining unanswered cell will end the quiz.
Occasionally a cell may not have a qualifying answer, in which case it will appear blank and be a gimme. After completing the quiz you can simply click RESTART to play again.
Please note that 'star on flag' does not include a representation of the Sun.
Scoring is based on 100 points for each correct (or blank) square, and 5 points are subtracted for every second used on the quiz. So you are rewarded for getting squares quickly, however be careful as not to name a country which doesn't qualify for an open cell.
NAMING NOTE: You must type a '.' (period) after a country name or abbreviation to submit it, to prevent entering a country you don't want to (i.e. Guinea when you want to enter Guinea Bissau). For country naming purposes, the following names are used: Cote d'Ivoire, Timor-Leste.

why it does not shenzhen?
Included in Guangzhou agglomeration.
great quiz! Really enjoyed not having to stress about time too!
Hey, its a little bit weird, that cologne gets accepted for ruhr, because Cologne is definitly not part of the Ruhr-area, which, more or less 50 km north of Cologne, ranges from west (duisburg) till east (Dortmund) with relatively little north-south-extent, containing as biggest cities Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg and Bochum (amongst several others over 100.000 population).
The source site (citypopulation.de) changed to include Cologne as part of the Ruhr agglo, and not its own separate one.
Hey Darren, mind adding the source for this one? Doesn’t seem to be Demographia’s World Urban Areas list this time.
I think I misspelled your name lol, forgive me.
citypopulation.de
Thanks!! Do you still use the Demographia list in any of the quizzes? Or am I just confused, ha?
citypopulation.de is my only source for population numbers
