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.
Curious why the second Indian city is Mira Bhayandar and not Thane?
Per typing in Thane on Google Maps, it looks like the eastern part of the city is not on the island.
1) Of the five boroughs of New York City, only The Bronx is not entirely located on islands. I say it should count.
2) While the majority of Hong Kong’s residents do live on the mainland, if you only counted the island population of Hong Kong, it would still make the top 40 overall.
3) Same goes for Xiamen (Huli + Siming = 2.1 million).
4) I don’t believe any part of Zhongshan is on an island.
I want to include cities entirely on islands. Also it appears Zhongshan is entirely on a river island (Zhongshan island).
Geoje(South Korea) is also a city located on an island.
will add, thanks.
Would you consider doing one that’s largest cities above a certain altitude?
it’s tough because largest cities can cover a large span of altitude
Venice is a curious case… the city center is definitely on an island but the majority of the population of the Venice commune is found mainland. A little known fact I think.
Yes, I guess it’s a good criteria.
