In this quiz, you have to name cities in North America, which creates a circle around each one on the map. The goal is to cover as much of the continent with these circles as you can. I was recommended to play this quiz and I thought it sounded interesting, so I hope you enjoy!

I'm not sure if you typed Reno or not but I think it would have filled in most of that Nevada gap. And the place in Mexico that would have filled in the Texas gap is Ojinaga. It's a fairly large border town.

Yeah I was gonna say the same thing, Ojinaga is the last border town before the Big bend/ bolson de mapimi gap where Chihuahua and Coahuila are disconnected.

@TheCriminalViolin Жыл бұрын

@@sammyb1661 Nope. But he somehow thought of Winnemucca over Elko, which really surprised me. I can't say I've ever met or heard of someone who even knew Winnemucca exists before this video, yet failed to understand how he knew of it, but not Elko lol. There's plenty who know of Elko. Less that do of Ely, and basic no one who knows Winnemucca. And given how small Winnemucca is, I figured Elko was the only town east of Sparks in Northern Nevada that could possibly just barely tickled the 10k mark. Though I doubt it is that size.

Awesome job! Two things: technically you don't need to cover all the land area, just all the valid cities. And also, you probably could have covered the rest of Nevada with Reno, and at least patched up some of the south Mexico coast with Acapulco.

Well done and thanks for playing! Edit: fyi you don't need to cover the entire map in blue, just the areas with 10k cities. So you can have a dead zone as long as there aren't any 10k cities in it.

@Linkzcap Жыл бұрын

it's way more fun to cover the entire map though

@ChiSoxRox2005 Жыл бұрын

I'm hooked on these maps, but I've been using the opposite tactic -- what's the most compact coverage, leaving the most uncovered space? Lots of "what circle will just catch Eureka" type thinking. There's a fun 100K+ coverage map where you have to minimize the number of circles -- and each city is unique on that map so no free circles from Springfield, etc

Very impressive, no way I'd even get close to this. In Canada though I saw some improvements. Fort St John BC, Grand Prairie AB, Fort McMurray AB, Lloydminster AB/SK, Val D'or or Rouyn-Noranda QC, Sept Iles QC, Corner Brook NF, Sidney and Yarmouth NS. all would have given you some more territory in the north a bit. As for western BC I think that may be a dead zone, not sure what to put there. Also don't know if Chibougamou QC is 10K or Thompson or Churchill MB.

To complete Québec (almost), you could have named some of these: Amos, Val-d'Or, Rouyn-Noranda, Dolbeau-Mistassini, Baie-Comeau, Sept-Iles, Rimouski, Matane. But good luck if you have to find a city of more than 10,000 people north of Amos, Dolbeau and Sept-Iles...

There definitely was a handful of slivers you didn't see you missed, one in Georgia, one in Oregon, and there was a couple others in other states you missed. I also am surprised you thought of Winnemucca over Elko in north Nevada though. It seems no one even knows there's a place in the world with the name Winnemucca! But many seem to know of Elko.
