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]

I'm going to double the time limits now on the handful of quizzes like this one! 😊

[@angrycharizard]

@@hugequiz Actual GOAT, holy crap, thank you!

[@nothayley]

@@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.

[@F-22-Rapt0r]

@@hugequizfor this quiz or quizzes like this one can you make it so the blue circles don’t overlap and instead it’s much more clean and whatnot? Or is it not possible

[@hugequiz]

@@F-22-Rapt0r Can't sorry.

[@roevhaal578]

I comleted it, I started with Kiruna, then typed Gällivare and I was done, no more cities in range!

[@jakelyonsgeo]

@@roevhaal578 🐐

[@BasicEndjo]

i also thought about that. just getting yourself stuck

[@johanjonsson2190]

Haha just my thought. The closest city to me is Östersund, Sweden. No city within 100km from there😅

[@Saddogimmo74]

Man, as an Italian, you getting Castrovillari was onestly insane

[@shogunkrkn4616]

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…

[@arseniys3054]

The cheat is to start with a city name that matches more than one city! There is also a Sporcle quiz “Most Common World 50K City Names (HugeQuiz)“.

[@prplt]

I tried that and it only gives you the biggest city

[@SalK-LS]

BTW, Jake's score currently puts him in 7th place on the leaderboard.

[@pardogh4244]

As an Italian I'm honestly impressed by your pronunciations skills. You missed just a couple of accents and that's it. Keep it up with contents, you rockin' !!

[@Zach27182]

I wish these quizzes had an extra easy mode, even the easy ones are brutally hard!

[@swordslicer56]

Really impressive. This should be considered impossible difficulty lol, idk how it's classified as "easy mode".

[@smorajs]

You knowing Svitavy just absolutely made my day. The goat!

[@matijamaksan4344]

8:17 Varaždin mentioned. Amazing! Great job.

[@teo43]

i'm genuinely impressed by you knowledge of european cities... just wow. also, as another guy also pointed out, when you got Castrovillari i had no words

[@Rand0mperson433]

As many others have said, you pronounce foreign words really well. I have probably asked u this before, do you know the International Phonetic Alphabet?

[@jakelyonsgeo]

@@Rand0mperson433 I do not

[@444Listek]

very pleasantly surprised with your knowledge of Czech and Slovak cities ... also your pronunciation is really good for the fact you are American ;)

[@AP-zv4vz]

As a french I gotta say your accent/pronunciation of the cities are incredibly on point

[@fleek6319]

let's goooo, I studied 5 years in Osnabrück so I'm extra happy you got a breakthrough with it 🤩💪 very impressive stuff, even a lot of Germans don't know where it even is ahaha

[@Kceam]

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.

[@nilsp9426]

With west coast France you might have gotten a second foot into Spain. Maybe that is the most promising part to learn quickly, if you want. Btw., as a German I was quite impressed you knew Neubrandenburg. It is not quite the metropolis...

[@jakelyonsgeo]

@@nilsp9426 I just know it because its name is so similar to the state - whenever I’m thinking “what cities are in Brandenburg?” it’s an easy one to remember!

[@erikvonborstel452]

The fact that it is in Mecklenburg Vorpommern is just perfect

[@jakelyonsgeo]

@@erikvonborstel452 …omg 😂 somehow I never realized

[@nilsp9426]

@@erikvonborstel452 I also like that Neumünster is in Schleswig-Holstein, but Münster in Nordrhein-Westphalen. Or Homburg in Saarland but Bad Homburg in Hessen. Meanwhile, Sachsenhausen is not in Sachsen, but is a quarter of Frankfurt (Main). Frankfurt being of course a bit weird, because there is another much less important one at the other end of the country. It is all a bit confusing :D

[@hotman_pt_]

I know that one, but might be only cause I'm a Europa universalis player 😅

[@DottorPulcis]

As an italian living in the south, getting Castrovillari got me speechless

[@calvin_geo]

Love the huge quiz content, you’re great Jake!

[@Sweating_Geography]

I rejoice when there is a new Jake Lyons Hugequiz video

[@pingnick]

Almost 70% of relevant cities wow very impressive!

[@TehOnlyAnd1-pw8ci]

Very impressive. I just tried the 200 km version (I don't think I have much of a chance with 100 km) but that's not available in easy so eventually I made a mistake and it was over.

[@rosin4260]

Bro your pronunciation is crazy good wth

[@TyllToons]

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

[@RAFlamingo3]

I really envy you for your ability to pronounce city names like they are pronounced in their native language. Just one tiny correction: It's not "Roschtock", but "Ros-tock". In this case the "st" is not pronounced "scht", like you usually would, but as two seperate sounds

[@sacerdor7467]

I‘m pretty sure it was Trikala or Farsala in Greece. But also Katerini. Might have brought you to Larissa.

[@Fanro3]

honestly a great idea for a quiz

[@limbridk]

Play this on hard mode! Start with "Reykjavik"!

[@MegaTheblueone]

It's crazy how you were able to basically get the whole Balkan but not Spain and France!

[@elainerose8799]

Unbelievable that we never seem to reach the limit of your vast knowledge 😮❤ not only do you know the cities but how to spell and say them too is very impressive

[@mrrasig1000]

6:51 yay my hometown gets mentioned

[@yixing9769]

your french pronounciation caught me off guard it's perfect

[@treyebillups8602]

I looked for what could have gotten you across to Ireland - I think the small city across from it is Ayr

[@Retroist2024]

man this is hard, I use google map and do open book test, I cannot cover most of west europe, some remote areas really lack towns with 10k pops.

[@PL9O]

Polskie miasto na miniaturce = W

[@JacobRy]

what's a good way of learning geography like this, at least rough cities not necessarily this many?

[@teunvanderwal646]

Amsterdam does not have 1 mil population, if you count metropolitan area maybe, but Rotterdam-thehague metropolitan is also over 1mil, and thats not shown.

[@MySisterIsASlytherin]

Do you speak French? Your pronunciation is really good!

[@jakelyonsgeo]

@@MySisterIsASlytherin yes!

[@gefferd2610]

Already a great vid

[@ylette]

Tried it, and covered like 10% of this. But I did get to Copenhagen. I'm a Dane though.

[@sayansingha6370]

Now do the Asia version of this...surely wouldn't be too hard 😄

[@LB1973]

I think its stranraer that would get you into Ireland

[@Kceam]

Great Challenge, but that is a really harsh time limit

[@adzter96]

I think you have to do Douglas in the Isle of Man to get over to Northern Ireland/Ireland really.

[@Niko_229]

this one was really hard

[@ReubenMacdonald-r8i]

I think Stranraer is the Scottish place which is within reach of Northern Ireland

[@jeremyalonzo2099]

To go to Sardaigna isn't Bastia > Ajaccio > Bonifacio working ?

[@DottorPulcis]

He got bastia, it did not unlock any other city in corsica though. Thus I guess it’s just impossible

[@jss.42]

you can get to ireland via isle of man - start in Douglas next time?

[@jakelyonsgeo]

But then I wouldn’t have known any of the UK cities in range 😅 that’s why I didn’t make it to Douglas in the first place

[@znaczy_c0]

10:30 bro did Hungarian empire

Whats the geowizard moment? xD
