Always fun to see more hugequiz! Great quizzes on hugequiz are also: "City Closest coverage" and "City Population Coverage". Both are about covering the world with circles like you have done before but the circles are dynamic in size. Either extending until they cover a given number of cities or a given amount of population. So you have tiny circles in densely settled areas and huge circles in sparsely ones.

I suppose, but that's like anti click bait. That'd be the most pointless challenge ever if it was that way. It'd be typing the same city over and over again.
I'm guessing the 201 has you starting in the middle of nowhere to get a bunch of tiny cities to be the biggest city. Either that or you start somewhere in the Middle East/Central Asia to remove overlap between Asia and the Americas.
From the comments of this quiz I know where: 1. Bandar Lampung, Indonesia 2. La Dorada, Colombia 3. Arica, Chile 4. Tacna, Peru 5. Sanya, Hainan, China
@@kaiwangle5003 Yup... not just antipodal but with some population around both ends. Eg Madrid isn't ideal because getting to the antipodes in NZ probably misses some bands in the water.
I don't think anyone mentioned it yet, but I think the limit of 201 instead of the 156 that you had, comes because so much of the earth is ocean + uninhabited regions like the poles. So for most of the starts, there are fewer than 201 rings that even have cities with high enough populations to show up in the dataset.
That was great! You almost looked as though you practiced before as a first time viewer bit the more I watched the more I see you really are just that insanely knowledgeable! WOW!
You need to start somewhere in the tropics to get that many more. It only takes cities over 50K, and with the exception of just a few places in Argentina and Chile, those don't exist below 45 degrees south latitude, and even then, south of 55 degrees South latitude, there are none. When you're starting at a high northern latitude like Luxembourg or Amsterdam, you'll find that once you get close to the antipodes, you're closing in on Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.
This might be of use to you, if press backspace while holding ctrl, it will delete the whole word, so you don't have to backspace through every letter of a city name.
23:27 North America entering the fray felt like a Pro Wrestling surprise entrance. I had the and his name is John Cena music in my head in that moment.
Btw, HugeQuiz has a "City Learning" section now 👀 Up to the top 250 cities by population. Continents and the world are for everyone, but premium has a special set of countries 👀
Yes, Basra is that far south. It's literally on the Iraqi coast, so max south. Amazing work! EDIT: That was amazing indeed. You even managed to get an answer in Brazil! It's so sad that you managed to overlook Vladivostok (the right answer I believed you missed)
19:59 Osogbo?! Wikipedia lists it as the 61st Nigerian city in population! You have my admiration for knowing your Nigerian state capitals, sincerely very impressive! However I can't figure out how Osogbo can be largest in that ring. TBF its own Wikipedia article has it at 202k, whereas the list says 157k, so perhaps it's 50th largest. Even so how can there not be another more populous city, Nigerian or otherwise, in that 100 km band? And how on earth did you know to try that one among your half-dozen guesses? I'm in awe.
The dataset used by hugequiz appears to be using a definition essentially based on city limits, but not with some of the silliness that comes from strict city limits (like Chongqing becoming a "city" of 30M).
@@Blattealkiller the main problem with the real (metro) sizes of the cities is that it's usually estimated not actually a known number in a lot of places in the world. So you get the problem with this source estimates this city in this ring at 2.11mil but this other city in the ring estimates 2.16 mil, but another sources says the first city is 2.3mil since this source designates this town a suburb, etc. You can get an official number for city limits usually, even if the city limits doesn't make a lot of sense.
The second circle is just wrong, Cologne in western germany is in there and with about 1.1 million inhabitans much larger than the actual city of brussels with about 188 tousend people. If you count the region Région de Bruxelles-Capitale it's about 1,25 million but includes more than one city. In fact in the seond circle there are much more bigger citys than the city of brussels, like Charleroi and Liège in belgium, Straßbourg in France or the citys of Bonn, Frankfurt, Mönchengladbach and Düsseldorf in Germany
I think if you start in like one of the corners of the globe, maybe then it's possible for the 201 rings? Interesting video, you know a lot of cities lol
I just sat there for several minutes, but apparently I didn't realize that my very first circle was thousands of kilometers and the answer was San Jose (CA).
Imagine as first City you take Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, which is located on Tristan de Cunha Island, which is basicly just a giant Shield Vulcano in the Southern Atlantic with around 3.141.592,65 squaremiles of absolut nothingness around it. Would be intresting, what happens than.😂🤣😅
Yeah, that's why the quiz is based on the ring, not the solid circle. Otherwise he'd have gotten to London, London, London... Istanbul, Istanbul... and then Cairo for a long while until definitional questions of how to compare it to Mumbai.

No bro I don't know what you mean 😭 I have never heard of most of these cities, let alone their geographical position within a 100km radius 😭😭😭
This was mad impressive
TBF N'djamena is a national capital and largest city, so farther up in the "things you should know" priority list. But some of those others....
The sentence “it could be Jacksonville or something but I’m going back to India” is gold
Well, it was Jacksonville OR SOMETHING, lol.

you have way too much time 😂
Let’s count time until HugeQuiz’s admin will make the quiz only for premium 😂
They've already changed it to premium
they do giveaways of free lifetime premium accounts through their social media last I checked
Even though I have Premium, I feel it's unfair for others.
No choice! Google Maps API is pricey! And during the first couple weeks each month maps premium quizzes are free (it alternates by week which ones).
No choice! The API is pricey when thousands are playing a day 💰
It gives you 5 minutes after 25, 50 and 100, it doesn't give you at 75, but maybe the owner of the site if he is reading this can fix that!
maybe the threshold to reach is meant to double each time, skipping 75
This was really fun once you got to the point where you had to go back and forth to check different areas in the world
At 5000 km I'm thinking "Look for North America on your back side!" and secretly congratulating myself that he didn't think to until after several wrong guesses in the Montréal band.
Classic getting skillchecked by china
the rings should be more translucent so you can actually still see the entire map, that would frustrate me if I tried this.
Always fun to see more hugequiz!
Great quizzes on hugequiz are also: "City Closest coverage" and "City Population Coverage". Both are about covering the world with circles like you have done before but the circles are dynamic in size. Either extending until they cover a given number of cities or a given amount of population. So you have tiny circles in densely settled areas and huge circles in sparsely ones.
The last 5 minutes were intense, it was amazing seeing you navigate this. Props to you mate, I thought I knew geography.
You can ctrl+a instead of holding the backspace, then you can immediately override your last guess.
you should try one from anchorage I think that might be interesting.
The description was a bit misleading. It's the largest city in the additional ring, not the whole circle. Got very confused with the first few answers
"I pick Mexico City to start. First circle, Mexico City. Second,..."

I suppose, but that's like anti click bait. That'd be the most pointless challenge ever if it was that way. It'd be typing the same city over and over again.
Dang I for sure thought it was Yantai, was never getting Xuzhou
Loved the concept but the time limit is ridiculously small
I'm guessing the 201 has you starting in the middle of nowhere to get a bunch of tiny cities to be the biggest city. Either that or you start somewhere in the Middle East/Central Asia to remove overlap between Asia and the Americas.
I think it's more about making sure there's always a city within 100km, so start somewhere with an antipodal pair like Shandong/Patagonia
From the comments of this quiz I know where:
1. Bandar Lampung, Indonesia
2. La Dorada, Colombia
3. Arica, Chile
4. Tacna, Peru
5. Sanya, Hainan, China
Has to be antipodal points to work
@@kaiwangle5003 Yup... not just antipodal but with some population around both ends. Eg Madrid isn't ideal because getting to the antipodes in NZ probably misses some bands in the water.
@@PhilipJReed-db3zc Yep, starting anywhere in Europe you will get a lot of bands that are basically just the Pacific and Antarctica
I don't think anyone mentioned it yet, but I think the limit of 201 instead of the 156 that you had, comes because so much of the earth is ocean + uninhabited regions like the poles. So for most of the starts, there are fewer than 201 rings that even have cities with high enough populations to show up in the dataset.

Years upon years of practice
that was honestly mad impeessive. i would love to see another video! maybe starting off somewhere in the americas

saw this video in my recommended page so the algorithm might be in your favor for this one :) great video anyways
Great vid as always Jake
never thought i’d watch a guy guess cities for 35 minutes
entertaining video but i cant figure out why
dude how do you know so many cities in countries that are not even on Street View? I'm so impressed right now
I think I have a much broader fascination with general geography than basically any other pro geoguessr player
Me waiting the entire video to see if he guesses my city.
I love the videos with your sister. Please give. Cheers.

There is a paradox because of spherical geometry: after 78 cities the ring areas become smaller and smaller
Little tip: put a low cut filter on your audio. Whenever you're typing it sounds like thunder.
