Should be fixed. Problem was on the SVG, Yangon was capitalized, but wasn't capitalized on JetPunk so JetPunk thought they were completely different answers
I'd love an expurgated version of this quiz that removed anything below the line of the 10th or so biggest city in each country, even if it qualifies as 1M+ population. Because that 1M cutoff line includes a LOT of cities in China and India that I'm never going to know.
No, I like it this way. I have started to study the biggest cities in China and India. Really, if a city is bigger than one million in population, we should have heard of it.
The key is to keep trying until you get a map with only well-known Chinese and Indian cities, which finally happened for me today! Or to study, of course.
Hyderabad is slightly northeast of Karachi (and the dot for it is smaller too). If you were to zoom in, you would see Karachi is right on the coast and Hyderabad is a little northeast of Karachi and not on the coast.
Yeah I tried like 5 different cities in the Ruhr. I even tried "Rhine" because the region is often called Rhine-Ruhr but I couldn't remember the "Ruhr" part. I feel like at least some of those cities like Dortmund should be accepted.
I got that one too. The 1,000s of smaller cities make it nearly impossible to pinpoint a run of 20 random cities. Interesting to take multiple times to get some geography down, although to me China and India are lost causes beyond major cities.
This quiz is an excellent idea, but it becomes quite frustrating when a dot's placement on the map could be multiple possible answers, such as the Beijing/Tianjin/Shijiazhuang area, Okayama/Osaka/Nagoya, Taipei/Taichung or pretty much all of Belgium/Netherlands/Western Germany. You just end up typing random metro areas (all of which could qualify) until you happen to guess the correct one.
Overall, it's still fun, but I think making all the dots smaller (and the same size) might help us see where they're located a bit more precisely.
This is one of my favourite quizzes, but I had a similar problem. Would it be possible to accept Dusseldorf, etc. for The Ruhr, as it is in most geography quizzes on the site?
It is maddeningly frustrating how many random, third-tier Chinese cities I got on this. Like, five. And some city in South Korea that isn't Seoul. It seems unreasonable to include cities with no international cultural profile. I mean, why not force some dude in Shenzhen to try and guess Cincinnati while we're at it?
After countless (my guess is around 300) attempts I finally got 100%, mostly just lucky that the only Asian city I got was Guangzhou. I now have no idea what to do with my life
I know a lot more cities in China than many in the UK are likely to, thanks to the game Airline Mogul. However, there are some very large places without an airport of their own (served by the likes of Guangzhou-Baiyun or Shanghai-Pudong) that I have simply never heard of, despite being bigger than any British city other than London :-|
And it was harder than I expected. Good job!
You 2 got to Levels 65 and 67 without ever taking a world cities quiz.
It's generally a good quiz, but if a relatively minor city is surrounded by many bigger ones it becomes a matter of luck.
Overall, it's still fun, but I think making all the dots smaller (and the same size) might help us see where they're located a bit more precisely.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎊🎊
Tangshan
Zibo
Port Harcourt
I was lucky to get the most famous cities randomly....
tbh I think NINJAQKk changed something here, now it seems easier, isn't it?
