    These HugeQuiz quizzes are really cool in concept, but a lot of the time I wish they'd straight up double the amount of time given to complete the quizzes. A lot of them feel ridiculously rushed for what they're asking

      @@hugequiz Do you think it would be a good idea to show the most recent circle / square / region in a different color? Sometimes I accidentally get something (eg Dominica when I was trying to type Dominican Republic) and I'm not sure why; seeing feedback might help that.

    In France there is something called « la diagonale du vide » / empty diagonal that crosses France from SW to NE which basically got stuck into. I must admit being a Frenchman I don’t know what city you were searching at the end possibly evreux or dreux that would have given Le Mans and then all the rest…
    Great video !
    Edit :just had a look it was Alençon definitely not an easy one…

    I just did a couple hugequiz quizzes and I also really enjoyed the "City Population Coverage" and the "City Closest Coverage" ones. Both have circles of dynamic radius that stretch from the typed city until they enclose a set amount of population in the first case or a set number of cities in the second case. So densely settled areas need a lot more circles to be covered while sparcely settled ones get massive circles. It can be really satisfying to cover everything.

    Fun quiz, except my knowledge of small enough cities doesn't extend too far beyond Germany/BeNeLux/the UK. I was able to get to Sweden by getting Ringsted, which was a stop on a train trip from Hamburg to Copenhagen I went on last year. My coverage of Sweden ended at Lund, though I swear should be able to at least get the terminus of the Öresundtog... It would be a lot of fun to try a smaller version of this quiz of just Germany, because that's where I know by far the most cities
