From a bounding box to a tile count: size the offline basemap for a field app across zoom 10–15.
You hand in your answers as values.
Dataset
- London boroughs · Polygon · 33 features · EPSG:4326
What you’ll do
- Take the bounding box of the borough layer
- Convert box corners to tile coordinates at each zoom
- Count tiles per zoom and total them into a storage estimate

Turn a count into a rate: population per square kilometre for every country, with the area measured rather than looked up.
You hand in a GeoJSON result.
Dataset
- Countries · MultiPolygon · 241 features · EPSG:4326
What you’ll do
- Measure every polygon's area in an equal-area projection
- Compute a rate by dividing the count by the area
- Return every country, ready to shade
