I'm really surprised that edmonton didn't also make it --- more north, slightly lower population. Makes sense to me that it's Calgary, if anyone, from NA, though.
The USA on a global scale has basically no big cities. It's quite an anomaly, actually. Our biggest city is NYC by quite a lot, but even most medium-sized countries like the big European countries and others bigger/roughly the same size in population (~50-150m, compared to the USA's ~350m) have at least one city bigger than NYC. Also, most of Canada's big cities (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, etc.) are forced to share a latitude with the big cities in Europe, the USA has to contend with China (good luck) and everything else has India to contend with. I'm the most surprised Mexico City missed out, if anything
Pretty crazy that the US gets completely shut out, and North/Central America only gets one and somehow it is Calgary. You would expect at least New York and Mexico City to get on the map. But China and India just dominate those latitudes.
@@eloiricher9654 technically Omdurman is the biggest city in Sudan, but it's part of the Khartoum urban area. Kind of like Quezon City and Manila in the Phillippines.
Nice job! Yeah, the grid being random gives you different maximum possible scores. The reason it varies by more than 1 is because there are gaps between some of the latitudes. So, the middle section of contiguous latitudes that contain most of the cities can vary in number of latitudes by 1, but then there are groups of cities in the far south latitudes that can also vary in the number of latitudes that they take up. The reason there aren't any other 117 scores is because most people who are good enough to get a perfect score will be refreshing the page before they start until they get a higher maximum possible score. Not sure why I'm the only one with 120, maybe one of the cities went under 50k, or maybe I just got really lucky with the grid alignment.
City Quizzes never cease to amaze (and bug) me. Tried the easy version, wrote "Harbin", "Haerbin", but not "Herbin", then was 100% certain it had to be Paris and doubted my whole life. Classic rookie mistake.
For the last one, I was sure you were looking at the wrong empty strip and it was going to be Hobart (turns out I don't know where Hobart is) Superb quizzing as always, love a Hugequiz video
Your knowledge of random cities around the world is very impressive. Also, if you do ctrl+backspace it'll erase the whole word for you at once instead of holidng down the backspace key :)
Well done! I really respect your commitment to keep going in order rather than just name all the gimmes and come back. When I play these quizzes I do the opposite. Any reason you do it that way, or just how your brain works best?
I guess it just makes the most sense to me to keep it organized! But I definitely could’ve saved a bit of confusion by knocking out the obvious ones beforehand 😅
You should try "Europe 100 Km Coverage Challenge". Basically you can only name cities, that are in the 100km range of all of your previously named cities. It is quite hard to get out of the high density blue banana area, but it is quite fun
was chanting albury for a while after you knocked out shepparton. looks like the line just skirts over the top of bendigo. judging by the fact that albury got put in the 75-100k category i'm guessing that they combined albury-wodonga?
calgary being the only one is north america looks funny

weird not seeing NYC or CDMX on there especially
What is Mexico City in? Gotta be like HongKong or Delhi
@@Speedster___ good question, could probably skim around the video and figure it out, I might even
@@MineRoyale. Edmonton's at about the level of Minsk. And Russia and the former USSR has a surprising amount of big cities.
It's surprising that North America has only 1, and it's Calgary

Alt title: Jake finally defeated china
Next up: Jake names every city in China with pop>50k 💀
@@nilsp9426 I'm pretty sure nobody can and ever did that
@@nilsp9426basically all of china 💀
@@bodi3793not even our Chinese can do that😂
🐐
Also per your question about the grid count, yes populations are constantly being updated so things can vary over time.
Another episode of "Jake types every Chinese character + Zhou". Getting Hong Kong and Shenzhen in different lines is insane.
when we naming city, and only came out one character, we just add a zhou character in the end and call the day😂
Hugequiz is definitely my favorite non-GeoGuessr series of yours!
I was screaming Hobart the whole time you were perplexed by the missing Australian city 😅 Guess I was wrong
I did the same thing whit Khartoum but I was also wrong, it was a other random city in Sudan

@@Twisty543 Thank you for the clarification, I assumed it was something like that but I wasn’t sure
I knew Albury was missing, but I also thought Coffs Harbour was missing earlier on
Hobart is a correct answer for that latitude. At the time of this video, it was not included on his map. I took a quiz today and got Hobart.

That was hilarious timing :D
Well played. This one certainly seemed harder than longitude one.
Yay! Another Jake huge quiz video! You’re awesome Jake keep up this incredible work, you are appreciated.
There is a Sporcle quiz with most common 50K city names which may be useful here!
you can press option/ctrl + delete to delete words instead of holding backspace

barely broke a sweat on that quiz 👏
Jake you never stop blowing my mind with your geography knowledge 😍
insane knowledge man
Incredible job! So impressive. A bunch of those were not at all obvious
I would really like to see some good old fashioned moving duels again :)
insane! expert mode should be fun
enjoyable video👍
This one was clutch 🎉
Legendary run indeed
Congrats!!! 🎉
Nice job
did this but realized after i forgot about punta arenas
I’m in Alberta; wouldn’t have thunk it 😂
Very impressive
next level, tighten the grids
So many clutch gets!
Of course we want expert mode!
Super impressive ... I could use Google maps and have an hour and I probably couldn't finish 🤣

maybe the higher highscore was because they played on expert and not advanced?
No, pretty sure that was the advanced leaderboard

why are there a few empty ones in the south, surely there are at least some villages?
