I'd never do well on something like this, but it's neat to hear how the distribution can end up. Colombia had more cities represented than the entire continent of Europe.
RE: Hong Kong For HugeQuiz's dataset, Hong Kong is only 5th in population within the Greater Bay Area megalopolis. Here are their rankings within China: 3. Shenzhen 4. Guangzhou 8. Dongguan 12. Foshan 14. Hong Kong Anyway, very well done, Mr. Geographer. These are oddly fun to watch and play along with.
I wonder what the standard is for counting these cities' populations. Maybe it's by counting people who live where the hukou is designated to be urban. That afaik is the only reason why Shenzhen is higher than Guangzhou and at the same time Dongguan is so high up the ranks.
I think starting with a super northern Canadian city or an Alaskan city could yield really interesting rings… but I think the city most on everyone’s mind is Asheville, NC right now, for obvious reasons.
I actually met someone from Kazakhstan over the summer, he was working at the resort in Yellowstone. He said I was the first person he'd me there who knew where his city, Almaty, was. Edit: you should start from Ushuaia, Argentina
I have traveled to more than 100 countries so far (And quite extensively) and have fantastic geography knowledge but this was so challenging as I was playing along with you. Good stuff man
I'd love to see you start from Stockholm, not only would it be a fitting homage, but it would give you some pretty interesting Asia/North America calls, and you'd finish up in Oceania!
My vote is to start where you lost, but if that fails quickly then to start in Milan. That would get more European cities and have you go through North America east to went instead of north south.
1. Chengdu is not in the same ring as Ankara, it's in the same as Istanbul. Still debatable on which is bigger there based on measurement. 2. Wuhan is WAY further out than Mumbai (which is in the same ring as either the two previous or Beijing, very borderline).
I think edmonton Canada would be interesting. The start might be tough initially but the mid game would have all sorts of competitive rings and you would end in Africa or Perth Australia.

Thank you all for 50,000 subs
Do it from buffalo ny plssssss
Do it in Manila
The most impressive is how you're able to spell all those city names 😅 Great job! 🤩
do it from honolulu next time!
Where have I heard that before...
@@ChicagoGeographer okay, actually, starting in Auckland is cool, I just tried it out
I’m down auckland❤
@@ChicagoGeographer Hawaii lol
@@ILuvFrogs-y1hHe said that because he did that last video
Start where it ended!
Sorocaba, Brazil
(or you can also go from my home town of Vancouver, Canada!)
the city you missed was Sorocaba, Brazil. Not exactly a suburb of Sao Paulo, but close to it.
king we need the 100km version!!! also wow, that was impressive as hell 👏 i was in awe the whole video

Not quite. At least by my count, Europe had 4 and Colombia had 3.
@@misterbeastisthegod wasnt it only 3 ? Moscow, Istanbul and Madrid
@@Mattiasthesecond I think Perm is technically in Europe.
@@misterbeastisthegodit is.
@@misterbeastisthegod and st petersburg
I would love to see you and Jake Lyons do a head to head race on one of these

The Havana Ooh Nah Nah threw me lmao.
Nice job on this one would be really hard for me to do XD
Start in Gilboa, Ohio, the home of Big beef cow
Your capitalization deserves extra likes
you should start in Circle, MT next time
Lol

1:35 go to Timbuktu?
Yaaaay, huge quiz
100 km version would be huge too!
but would it be quiz
@@__archermaster__8790 I hope so
12:53 spit my drink out, subtle deadpan jokes will never not be funny
You should try starting from Perth Western Australia.
Perth is the closest to the antipode of the eastern US, meaning a Perth start saves North America for the finish line.
There’s Perth, Albany, then Geraldton, and then nobody knows
I’ll always be amused by how excited you get about Chicago
I actually met someone from Kazakhstan over the summer, he was working at the resort in Yellowstone. He said I was the first person he'd me there who knew where his city, Almaty, was.
Edit: you should start from Ushuaia, Argentina
Dude, this was awesome. Great job.
Yes, do 100km world map and start in Pyongyang.
12:53 Ooo na na
I have traveled to more than 100 countries so far (And quite extensively) and have fantastic geography knowledge but this was so challenging as I was playing along with you. Good stuff man
I’m glad there is a channel with someone from chicago that is good at geography, I’ve been lookin for it.
do it from riyadh next time... let's see how good your desert city knowledge is.
Start in Ushuaia. That should be fun.
Every time you do these videos, I am amazed by your knowledge of cities and their correct spelling! 😳
I'd love to see you start from Stockholm, not only would it be a fitting homage, but it would give you some pretty interesting Asia/North America calls, and you'd finish up in Oceania!
I like how he does a Joe Swanson impression the whole video
Start from east london south africa
My vote is to start where you lost, but if that fails quickly then to start in Milan. That would get more European cities and have you go through North America east to went instead of north south.
I think you should start with Pago Pago, American Samoa. I wanna see you attempt those Pacific Islands lol
Starting from ecuador would be interesting!
What an incredibly impressive display of geography knowledge
Congratulations! You’re at over 51,000!
52000 now
Chongqing was in the beijing ring but wasn't counted as larger?
The Chongqing municipality is at 32m, but the city itself has a lower population than Beijing
I think the quiz uses actual urban areas, not arbitrary administrative boundaries.
Great video as always, slightly surprised you managed to avoid making a reference to the film Casablanca when the city came up.
Wait wut ur not at 50k subs? You deserve way more
Start in Papara French Polynesia
That’s crazy I’ve been to Sorocaba and I didn’t know like 90% of the city names you said in this video lol
I guess that the next answer could be Sorocaba, Cotia, Taboão da Serra or Barueri
Some strange correct answers.
Ankara bigger than Chengdu?
Wuhan bigger than Mumbai?
1. Chengdu is not in the same ring as Ankara, it's in the same as Istanbul. Still debatable on which is bigger there based on measurement.
2. Wuhan is WAY further out than Mumbai (which is in the same ring as either the two previous or Beijing, very borderline).
I recommend playing Metro Memory, they actually have Chicago! Basically you need to remember the stations on the "L"
100km quiz from Cape Town, South Africa could be fun!
Do Seattle
15:29 that city is the missing largest city you had, Sorocaba, with about 700k people
I think edmonton Canada would be interesting. The start might be tough initially but the mid game would have all sorts of competitive rings and you would end in Africa or Perth Australia.
Im from Brazil, you talk soo good the name of our citys, im from São Paulo
I actually start some of my quizzes in Kazakhstan! Almaty is close to the geographical population center.
This is seriously impressive!
The fact this man can name the most obscure and random Indian town makes me believe he’s programmed (jokes aside criminally underrated)
funny how the 'towns' probably have more population than the whole of france
start from edmonton next! northern canada represent
Suprised Sydney counted, I thought Melbourne overtook in population recently
"Americans are so bad at foreign geography"
Americans:
He's an exception
I doubt many Europeans could do this either.
Looking into the intro we can see typhoon yagi making landfall in vietnam
Kudos, hugely impressive.
Was the one you lost on Guayaquil, Ecuador?
Extreme Difficulty: start from one of the pacific islands like Niue, Palau, Tonga or Tuvalu.
Start in Silay, Philippines, nothing significant about it but I recently did it for the lols
I take my comment back, Jake did an any cities version and he also got 201 from Argentina
Do it from Kütahya next time
Was it not Guayaquil at the end?
as I put on screen at the end it was Sorocaba Brazil
You should start there next time for redemption
100 km starting from Accra!
plz do this again this was very fun
Please do the 100km one!
W channel keep it up
These circle challenges are the best!
Do Adamstown
7:43 love from Kuala Lumpur ❤❤🇲🇾
id like to see the 100km one, also start from Tórshavn faroe islands since im from there :D
I was raising my eyebrow at the “okc is the biggest” but I realized that OKC is bigger than atlanta city proper wise
I thought you were gonna do we’re in live :(
St Paul, MN
A great start city if you do 100k is something in india or Bangladesh, lot of huge cities that get less attention by in large
If a 100km vid was to ever come out I say you should start in Ankara turkey
Do 100km and start with SF, CA, USA
start in wakefield if you do the 100km version
This is definitely an Asia moment
🐐
Do mongo,chad next
what is the definition of "big city" here?? like in population or size term?
Does bro know every city in the world omg!
Was it not just Auckland? he said it wasn't that but it was like on the line
Do it from Buffalo ny
Plssssss
No chongqing is insane
i think the last one was Guayaquil
Start from Hong Kong next
my 5 propositions:
Honningsvåg Norway
Wuhan China
Szczebrzeszyn Poland
Sorocaba Brazil
Utqiagvik USA
Shout out from Davao City via Toronto!!!!
Budapest, Hungary
Start from where you lost😉
Can you do Ulan-Ude?
Pls start in Hanoi,Vietnam
Funny I was thinking it was San Salvador in El Salvador but Salvador in Brazil is bigger.
Start from Ushuaia, Argentina
Start in Edmonton
Next time try starting from Reykjavik or from Pyongyang.
Well, that would be vastly different, wouldn't it.
@@tomscorpion6288 Or even from Ittoqqortoormiit.
Start in Timbuktu
KAZAKHSTAN MENTIONED RAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Here we go
Start from Ouagadougou 🤔
