Can you name the 100 largest cities in the U.S. in 10 minutes?
 
https://hugequiz.com/quizzes/geograp...argest-cities/

As a tip, this is largest cities, not largest metro areas.

Go here, type 100 into the box, and start typing. It puts up a handy map to help you out. It doesn't have a time limit, so give yourself 10 minutes and report back.

I think about geography a lot, I mean a LOT, and I got 81. I missed a couple of obvious ones, but in looking at the ones I missed, 81 was about my limit.

in ten minutes i missed 29/100

I'm very southern california and vegas/phoenix/dallas-deficient. .

Also the pins were off in some locations

79/100, and that was with me taking an extra 2 minutes beyond the 10 to really think about some of those metro areas and all the cities proper that make up those population centers. In 10 minutes I probably got 76 or 77.

This is lot tougher than it looks. I've never been to Dallas, and there are a dick**** ton of random shitty cities to account for in that area. Never even ****ing heard of Garland, TX.

I wonder if it almost wouldn't be easier to score a higher percentage on this quiz by adding more cities to the mix. It's definitely way easier to name cities when you only have to pick off one or two in a single state.

I could do metro areas, cities would be hard with all the suburbs that are actually big.

Rain Man 09-28-2017 08:38 PM

California was killing me. Chula Vista? I also had a challenge in the DFW area and Phoenix area. For some reason I didn't scroll up high enough to notice the Washington state cities, so I missed some obvious ones there.

Oh I DO like your avatar!

I missed about 50. Shit is tough with these large metro areas. California, Arizona, Texas and ****ing North Carolina killed me.

I will say it helps immensely to have lived in the states you're filling in.

Spoiler!


You've gotta be shitting me. Did anyone guess that one?

I tried everything I could think of. Daytona, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale (which may have worked), even Palm Beach. I would have never guessed Hialeah or even spelled it right if I did.

That's worth your first thumbs up notification.

I guessed Fort Lauderdale based on the proximity to Miami but that was a no go.

I was really pissed about that one. I aced every state I've lived in since my teenage years except Florida because of that place and I've never even heard of it.

Lauderdale didn't make it and Hialeah did? That is indeed surprising.

If I didn't live in Colorado, there's no way I would've known Aurora.

Bearcat 09-28-2017 09:10 PM

75.... I was cocky, thinking the map would make it really easy, but blanked on some of the cities in Texas and California. Aurora was bugging me, I guessed Fort Collins and Boulder, but didn't zoom in far enough to see it was actually within the Denver metro (but wouldn't have guessed it anyway).
