World Grid Population Challenge

First choose a grid size by typing '30', '20', or '10'. A grid of that size lat/long will be placed on the map (so if you choose '20' the grid width and height will be 20 degrees). Then, double click on the grid square with the highest population within it (based on world 10km x 10km population density estimates). The highest-population remaining square will give you 100 points, all the way down to 0 for the one with the smallest population. Try to obtain the most points by successively double-clicking on the highest-populated grid square.

World Circle Radius Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to adjust each circle's radius so it contains the target population shown at the right. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random populated world grid square (there are over 800K 10x10 km grid squares used for the data, courtesy of https://human-settlement.emergency.copernicus.eu/index.php). Also you will see an adjustable circle of radius 500 km to start. Adjust the circle's radius by dragging it until it contains the target number of people shown - this target will be between 2.5 and 250 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target.

I don’t think this source is trustworthy. The entire REGION that Massawa is in has under 1m people by every source I’m able to find (I’ve seen estimates as low as 400k and as high as 900k).

I believe the answer for Germany is incorrect – Berlin as a city has a higher population than the number next to the listed answer

Per the source it’s the largest. Urban areas can be defined different ways depending on the source.

Sorry, but it’s wrong. Dortmund is part of the Ruhr area which is not called dortmund. Ruhr area has much more people though. Even Berlin has more than 3.4 mil

I agree. It should either be “Rhein-Ruhr” or “Berlin”. No German or European would ever call the Ruhrgebiet, Dortmund. Dortmund is just one of the many towns making up the area.

The answers for Comoros and Eritrea seem to be incorrect.
