World Largest Cities With Short Names

Directions

First choose the number of cities by typing ‘100’, ‘250’, or ‘all’ – then try to achieve the highest population among World 2-4 letter cities of 50K+ population that you chose. I tried to use only the most common English spelling to get name length (so ‘Koln’ is not on this quiz).

Enter # of cities (100, 250, or 'all')

World Closest 1M+ Agglomeration Random Location Challenge

The object of this quiz is to name to closest World 1M+ agglo 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 1M+ World agglo to this marker by typing in the main city/agglo name followed by a '.' (period). You will then be given a score up to 100 (100 being the closest 1M+ agglo) based on how far away your agglo is in relation to how far away the closest one is. You get 25 agglos for a maximum of 2500 points. If you name a agglo that has the same name as another possible answer, don't worry - the closest agglo of that name will be chosen.

There are some oddities in the data for this one, and I just noticed the data is from 2015. Shouldn’t it be live?
