Data is from citypopulation (reference date january 2022) for 1 million cities and genomes (reference date may 2022) for smaller ones

McMurdo Station is off the map so has not been included

Dot size depends on rank within that latitude; a red dot indicates that's the only city for that latitude, a purple one means it's one of the two

Wow. I like this quiz. Must have taken eons to set- up.

Great quiz. Should have got a couple more than I did, but actually most of the ones I didn’t get were placed I had not heard of.

This was a super fun quiz!!

Take my nomination!

maybe make the dots more visible underneath, I missed a few because I just couldn't see the dots ;P

Great quiz, although Grytviken is not inhabited permanently

Level 81

Jul 18, 2022

I second this motion. A quick Google search shows that the entirety of South Georgia has around 30 inhabitants, well below your 10,000 criteria, and Grytviken has no permanent inhabitants.

Level 56

Interesting Quiz! I just knew Nuuk in Greenland but it was not the answer :(

Great quiz. Nominated. Johannesburg is listed twice.

Level 80

Jul 12, 2022

I nominated this quiz, and it was at the top of the list the past two weeks (July 2022). Why did it not ever get featured? I like the concept.

Level 81

Jul 12, 2022

I like this quiz. It was top of nominations for weeks and has now disappeared from the list. Nominate button is not shown.

What is wrong with it.

Level 77

it will get featured after it gets updated with current data and standard city names/type-ins

Guiyang is mispelled as Guyang.

Level 73

Jul 20, 2022

^This, and "Guiyang" is not even an acceptable type-in.

Is there a reason that "DC" is not accepted here for Washington, D.C.? (it's accepted in virtually every other JetPunk quiz)

Level ∞

DC will work now.

One of the best quizzes on the site!

When you zoom in, some of the black dots have a tendency to shrink into invisibility.

Level 89

Jul 19, 2022

Ooh, tough stuff! I suspect I’m not going to improve much on my first attempt of 96/131 without putting in way more effort than would be justified by the extra two points I *might* earn.

Great work, thank you, @Scambigol.

Level 82

Fun quiz. Very challenging!

Level 78

Jul 20, 2022

Great quiz, although I got 100 right and only got 3 points, which seems a bit mean

Level 90

Jul 20, 2022

Barrow is now known as Utqiaġvik and Port Elizabeth is now Gqeberha.

Level 89

Jul 20, 2022

Which, of course, makes them so much easier to remember and to type.

Level 66

Mar 6, 2024

Not as easy to remember, but definitely more memorable

Level 57

Aug 22, 2022

I'm never quite convinced by these official name changes where the government does it in the face of strong opposition from the people who live there. I think Port Elizabeth is still "known as" PE far more than it is as Gqeberha.

Level 73

Jul 21, 2022

If Hobart is listed at 43, Launceston should be at 42 and would qualify as biggest at that latitude.

Level 58

Aug 19, 2022

Launceston is at 41°26', so belongs just to 41, not 42 (Hobart is at 42°52′, so rightly belongs at 43.

Level 81

Jul 22, 2022

Great quiz. Please accept Archangel as type-in

Level 68

Many of theese cities has much lesser than 10000 inhabitants.

Level 83

Nice quiz! Maybe you could allow "Port Stanley" for "Stanley"?

Level 71

Aug 19, 2022

Yes, that was my mistake too!

Level 68

Aug 19, 2022

That was a fun way to learn about the world. Though I have a hard time believing the average score of 77 is an accurate reflection of common knowledge.

For 50 North, I'd like to submit Winnipeg for consideration.

Level 82

Aug 19, 2022

Those extreme latitudes are tough. I was even trying random crap like "Arctic Station" and "North Pole Outpost" on the assumption that there was some research center with 12 people up there... but I missed "Arctic Bay"

Level 68

Aug 20, 2022

Why is this written in the caveat: "Includes cities with at least 10,000 inhabitants"? There are many cities in the quiz with much lower population.

Level 56

Aug 20, 2022

What about Lubumbashi for 11 degrees south?

Level 57

Aug 22, 2022

This is so fun and well done

San Miguel de Tucumán is generally known just as Tucumán. Was disappointed to find that my obscure guess actually should have worked!

Plus, it is really tough.

- "The Ruhr" is NOT a city.

- Many of the cities mentioned are way smaller than 10000 inhabitants.
