I'd never do well on something like this, but it's neat to hear how the distribution can end up. Colombia had more cities represented than the entire continent of Europe.
RE: Hong Kong For HugeQuiz's dataset, Hong Kong is only 5th in population within the Greater Bay Area megalopolis. Here are their rankings within China: 3. Shenzhen 4. Guangzhou 8. Dongguan 12. Foshan 14. Hong Kong Anyway, very well done, Mr. Geographer. These are oddly fun to watch and play along with.
I wonder what the standard is for counting these cities' populations. Maybe it's by counting people who live where the hukou is designated to be urban. That afaik is the only reason why Shenzhen is higher than Guangzhou and at the same time Dongguan is so high up the ranks.
I think starting with a super northern Canadian city or an Alaskan city could yield really interesting rings… but I think the city most on everyone’s mind is Asheville, NC right now, for obvious reasons.
I have traveled to more than 100 countries so far (And quite extensively) and have fantastic geography knowledge but this was so challenging as I was playing along with you. Good stuff man
I actually met someone from Kazakhstan over the summer, he was working at the resort in Yellowstone. He said I was the first person he'd me there who knew where his city, Almaty, was. Edit: you should start from Ushuaia, Argentina
I'd love to see you start from Stockholm, not only would it be a fitting homage, but it would give you some pretty interesting Asia/North America calls, and you'd finish up in Oceania!
My vote is to start where you lost, but if that fails quickly then to start in Milan. That would get more European cities and have you go through North America east to went instead of north south.
I think edmonton Canada would be interesting. The start might be tough initially but the mid game would have all sorts of competitive rings and you would end in Africa or Perth Australia.
1. Chengdu is not in the same ring as Ankara, it's in the same as Istanbul. Still debatable on which is bigger there based on measurement. 2. Wuhan is WAY further out than Mumbai (which is in the same ring as either the two previous or Beijing, very borderline).
Thank you all for 50,000 subs
Do it from buffalo ny plssssss
Do it in Manila
ChicagoGeographer is awesome!
The most impressive is how you're able to spell all those city names 😅 Great job! 🤩
do it from honolulu next time!
Where have I heard that before...
@@ChicagoGeographer okay, actually, starting in Auckland is cool, I just tried it out
I’m down auckland❤
@@ChicagoGeographer Hawaii lol
@@ILuvFrogs-y1hHe said that because he did that last video
Start where it ended!
Sorocaba, Brazil
(or you can also go from my home town of Vancouver, Canada!)
Prince George Canada
the city you missed was Sorocaba, Brazil. Not exactly a suburb of Sao Paulo, but close to it.
king we need the 100km version!!! also wow, that was impressive as hell 👏 i was in awe the whole video
The Havana Ooh Nah Nah threw me lmao.
Nice job on this one would be really hard for me to do XD

Not quite. At least by my count, Europe had 4 and Colombia had 3.
@@misterbeastisthegod wasnt it only 3 ? Moscow, Istanbul and Madrid
@@Mattiasthesecond I think Perm is technically in Europe.
@@misterbeastisthegodit is.
@@misterbeastisthegod and st petersburg
I would love to see you and Jake Lyons do a head to head race on one of these

1:35 go to Timbuktu?
Start in Gilboa, Ohio, the home of Big beef cow
Your capitalization deserves extra likes

you should start in Circle, MT next time
Lol
Yaaaay, huge quiz
100 km version would be huge too!
but would it be quiz
@@__archermaster__8790 I hope so
12:53 spit my drink out, subtle deadpan jokes will never not be funny
You should try starting from Perth Western Australia.
Dude, this was awesome. Great job.
I’ll always be amused by how excited you get about Chicago
I have traveled to more than 100 countries so far (And quite extensively) and have fantastic geography knowledge but this was so challenging as I was playing along with you. Good stuff man

12:53 Ooo na na
Perth is the closest to the antipode of the eastern US, meaning a Perth start saves North America for the finish line.
There’s Perth, Albany, then Geraldton, and then nobody knows
I’m glad there is a channel with someone from chicago that is good at geography, I’ve been lookin for it.
Yes, do 100km world map and start in Pyongyang.
I'd love to see you start from Stockholm, not only would it be a fitting homage, but it would give you some pretty interesting Asia/North America calls, and you'd finish up in Oceania!
Start in Ushuaia. That should be fun.
do it from riyadh next time... let's see how good your desert city knowledge is.
My vote is to start where you lost, but if that fails quickly then to start in Milan. That would get more European cities and have you go through North America east to went instead of north south.
Chongqing was in the beijing ring but wasn't counted as larger?
The Chongqing municipality is at 32m, but the city itself has a lower population than Beijing
I think the quiz uses actual urban areas, not arbitrary administrative boundaries.
Starting from ecuador would be interesting!
Great video as always, slightly surprised you managed to avoid making a reference to the film Casablanca when the city came up.
This is seriously impressive!
Every time you do these videos, I am amazed by your knowledge of cities and their correct spelling! 😳
I think you should start with Pago Pago, American Samoa. I wanna see you attempt those Pacific Islands lol
Start in Silay, Philippines, nothing significant about it but I recently did it for the lols
Start from east london south africa
I think edmonton Canada would be interesting. The start might be tough initially but the mid game would have all sorts of competitive rings and you would end in Africa or Perth Australia.
I like how he does a Joe Swanson impression the whole video
I actually start some of my quizzes in Kazakhstan! Almaty is close to the geographical population center.
A great start city if you do 100k is something in india or Bangladesh, lot of huge cities that get less attention by in large
Im from Brazil, you talk soo good the name of our citys, im from São Paulo
Congratulations! You’re at over 51,000!
52000 now
What an incredibly impressive display of geography knowledge
7:43 love from Kuala Lumpur ❤❤🇲🇾
I guess that the next answer could be Sorocaba, Cotia, Taboão da Serra or Barueri
100km quiz from Cape Town, South Africa could be fun!
Start in Papara French Polynesia
start from edmonton next! northern canada represent
Wait wut ur not at 50k subs? You deserve way more
Please do the 100km one!
I recommend playing Metro Memory, they actually have Chicago! Basically you need to remember the stations on the "L"
That’s crazy I’ve been to Sorocaba and I didn’t know like 90% of the city names you said in this video lol
Some strange correct answers.
Ankara bigger than Chengdu?
Wuhan bigger than Mumbai?
1. Chengdu is not in the same ring as Ankara, it's in the same as Istanbul. Still debatable on which is bigger there based on measurement.
2. Wuhan is WAY further out than Mumbai (which is in the same ring as either the two previous or Beijing, very borderline).
Looking into the intro we can see typhoon yagi making landfall in vietnam

Extreme Difficulty: start from one of the pacific islands like Niue, Palau, Tonga or Tuvalu.
Sydney Australia
Suprised Sydney counted, I thought Melbourne overtook in population recently
This is definitely an Asia moment
i think the last one was Guayaquil
what is the definition of "big city" here?? like in population or size term?
Start from Nashville Tennessee (where i live)
I take my comment back, Jake did an any cities version and he also got 201 from Argentina
niagara falls, ny
Can you do Ulan-Ude?
If a 100km vid was to ever come out I say you should start in Ankara turkey
This guy needs to 1v1 Zig8zag
The fact this man can name the most obscure and random Indian town makes me believe he’s programmed (jokes aside criminally underrated)
funny how the 'towns' probably have more population than the whole of france

Start from Ushuaia, Argentina
really impressive
Do it from Santiago de Chile

I doubt many Europeans could do this either.
