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 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 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'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.
@@ChicagoGeographer The one you were looking at in Brazil was indeed Sorocaba, Brazil. But Guayaquil, Ecuador was there and is 4 times bigger than Sorocaba at 2.6M people.

Thank you all for 50,000 subs
Do it from buffalo ny plssssss
Do it in Manila

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
The most impressive is how you're able to spell all those city names 😅 Great job! 🤩
Start where it ended!
Sorocaba, Brazil
(or you can also go from my home town of Vancouver, 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
I would love to see you and Jake Lyons do a head to head race on one of these

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.

Start in Gilboa, Ohio, the home of Big beef cow
Your capitalization deserves extra likes
The Havana Ooh Nah Nah threw me lmao.
Nice job on this one would be really hard for me to do XD

1:35 go to Timbuktu?
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.
I’ll always be amused by how excited you get about Chicago
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.

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!
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
Dude, this was awesome. Great job.
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’m glad there is a channel with someone from chicago that is good at geography, I’ve been lookin for it.
do it from riyadh next time... let's see how good your desert city knowledge is.
Start in Ushuaia. That should be fun.
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.
12:53 Ooo na na
I like how he does a Joe Swanson impression the whole video
Some strange correct answers.
Ankara bigger than Chengdu?
Wuhan bigger than Mumbai?
Start from east london south africa
I guess that the next answer could be Sorocaba, Cotia, Taboão da Serra or Barueri
Every time you do these videos, I am amazed by your knowledge of cities and their correct spelling! 😳
What an incredibly impressive display of geography knowledge
Starting from ecuador would be interesting!
"Americans are so bad at foreign geography"
Americans:
He's an exception
I doubt many Europeans could do this either.
Start in Silay, Philippines, nothing significant about it but I recently did it for the lols
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.
Start in Papara French Polynesia
I recommend playing Metro Memory, they actually have Chicago! Basically you need to remember the stations on the "L"
Congratulations! You’re at over 51,000!
52000 now
100km quiz from Cape Town, South Africa could be fun!
I actually start some of my quizzes in Kazakhstan! Almaty is close to the geographical population center.
Great video as always, slightly surprised you managed to avoid making a reference to the film Casablanca when the city came up.
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
🐐
KAZAKHSTAN MENTIONED RAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Here we go
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
15:29 that city is the missing largest city you had, Sorocaba, with about 700k people
Extreme Difficulty: start from one of the pacific islands like Niue, Palau, Tonga or Tuvalu.
Looking into the intro we can see typhoon yagi making landfall in vietnam
100 km starting from Accra!
This is seriously impressive!
start in wakefield if you do the 100km version
Medellín, Bogotá, Cali 💛💛💙❤
Suprised Sydney counted, I thought Melbourne overtook in population recently
start from edmonton next! northern canada represent
Do 100km and start with SF, CA, USA
This is definitely an Asia moment
Was it not Guayaquil at the end?
as I put on screen at the end it was Sorocaba Brazil
You should start there next time for redemption
Im from Brazil, you talk soo good the name of our citys, im from São Paulo
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
Do it from Kütahya next time
Please do the 100km one!
id like to see the 100km one, also start from Tórshavn faroe islands since im from there :D
Wait wut ur not at 50k subs? You deserve way more
Do mongo,chad next
If a 100km vid was to ever come out I say you should start in Ankara turkey
plz do this again this was very fun
Next time try starting from Reykjavik or from Pyongyang.
Well, that would be vastly different, wouldn't it.
@@tomscorpion6288 Or even from Ittoqqortoormiit.
I take my comment back, Jake did an any cities version and he also got 201 from Argentina
Funny I was thinking it was San Salvador in El Salvador but Salvador in Brazil is bigger.
Start from where you lost😉
I think you should start with Pago Pago, American Samoa. I wanna see you attempt those Pacific Islands lol
Do Seattle
i think the last one was Guayaquil
7:43 love from Kuala Lumpur ❤❤🇲🇾
Kudos, hugely impressive.
I thought you were gonna do we’re in live :(
St Paul, MN
Was it not just Auckland? he said it wasn't that but it was like on the line
These circle challenges are the best!
my 5 propositions:
Honningsvåg Norway
Wuhan China
Szczebrzeszyn Poland
Sorocaba Brazil
Utqiagvik USA
Do Adamstown
Was the one you lost on Guayaquil, Ecuador?
Budapest, Hungary
Start from Ushuaia, Argentina
Start from Hong Kong next
I’m from Adelaide so the Australia checks mentally hurt me
YAY JAKARTA SEMARANG AND SURABAYA
Also youre cool

PERTH MENTIONED RAAH 🗣🗣🗣
RAHHH WE NEVER GET CONCERTS
100km Version please
You should start in Berlin next time
the largest city was guayaquil ecuador i think
as I put on screen at the end it was Sorocaba Brazil
@@ChicagoGeographer The one you were looking at in Brazil was indeed Sorocaba, Brazil. But Guayaquil, Ecuador was there and is 4 times bigger than Sorocaba at 2.6M people.
@@SandraBosinta I think it's just north of the ring. It was the only city I could think of and one of only two I know in Ecuador.
@@SandraBosinta I did the entire quiz again the same way and Sorocaba was the answer for that circle
@@ChicagoGeographer You are right, sorry. I thought Guayaquil was further south. Great video!
Start from Ouagadougou 🤔
