Fun fact. Ludwig is mostly reffering to pine trees. In Poland these trees were massively planted as a forest recovery program after ww2. Basically there are everywhere in Poland and I guess Ludwig noticed that after many times he spawned in Poland. Anyway it turned out to be a bad decision and other species should be planted.

It def takes time and the grind up doesnt happen from just watching some tip videos it comes from experience but it can be done in a shorter amount of time
It is memorizing "stuff like this" that takes a lot of time. Why should there be a disclaimer that says you need time to become good? Is that not the most obvious variable when getting good?
what? he literally said he recognized it because theres a text sign in thai. without knowing the camera metas he would have just guessed any southeast asian country..
5:53 that kind of foliage and low-lying trees/brush is actually very indicative of eastern canada. Novascotia, PEI, Newfoundland, ect because it's a lot rockier there, particularly around the coasts, you don't get big trees like in the rest of Canada. You can also tell it's not BC (the other coast) because being further away from where the english settled and across the rockies, it wasn't hit as hard by loggers as well being on that side of the rockies kept a lot of rain and weather from passing out of BC leading to big natural forests.
It’s insane how you can make it sound so easy. Your thought process is not only incredibly clear, but the fact that you can take in that much detail that quickly, that perfectly, AND remember your exact thoughts to explain it so clearly, it’s superhuman.
Just a side note, for Australian state initials, we say the letters individually; not as a sound. (Bar a couple. Like Tas or Vic.) Hearing you say WA as a Waluigi Waaaaaah was great. Thanks for the laugh.
@@ToriGamesxxx Though that's more because the Vic is short for Victoria. Same with Tas for Tasmania. The others are acronyms so it doesn't make sense to say them as words.
I just want to thank you for taking time to explain the guesses you make, it is genuinely so educational and entertaining; one of my favorite parts about watching you. I've been playing the game and watching content creators of it for over a year now, you're without a doubt one of the best I've come across. Thank you for making the videos and streaming, I wish you all the success!
Worst thing is. I live in northeast Brazil and that does indeed look like Northeast Brazil. It is specifically Brazil's semi-arid climate, the Caatinga. That's from north of Bahia up to South/Middle Piaui or from northeast Bahia, through Pernambuco, all the way to Rio Grande do Norte. I identified it due to the fence and tree, however, not the color of the dirt.
I have the exact same thing with the countries that I know particularly well. It's kinda freaky that you can "feel" where a photo was taken just by looking at the foliage and road surface but it just works. Similar to how we can tell when something "doesn't sound right" or how AI algorithms learn to distinguish between different things.
Yup. The stuff about brazillian soil he said is all right, up northeast and in some parts of the southeast with states like Bahia and Minas Gerais respectively there really is a lot of red soil.
Tangent: my grampa (wwii vet) was a lineman for the phone company. He spent his entire post-war career climbing telephone poles. He could glance at any pole and know exactly when it was placed at a glance, just from the decades of having to keep them in good repair.
Very interesting to see your thought process! In those TikToks, it looks like magic - but after you explained it, it kinda seems more logical… but still magic
@@ganishnutinishnu7370 it would be harder for him to be a cheater at this point because the amount of content he’s put out and how many tournaments he’s been in
what gets me is how much knowledge you gain about different places on earth by doing this - how many facts you were spitting about all of these countries. that's a very powerful asset
It’s genuinely so fascinating to watch you break down all of these videos! You’re entertaining to watch, and it’s so cool to see more and more people get into geoguesser!!
As an half Brazilian, yes, the brazilian dirt, especially in the south of the country is very red and recognizable if you see it just once in your life
I have some insight on why 0.1s is possible! Visual memory can be analysed in 3 stages iirc from my intro psychology class. There is a fraction of a second where you have access to basically *the entirety of the visual information you saw.* Then most of that is lost and the "important bits" transferred to working memory, which is about 20s. Then, the tiny amount you chose to remember about the image gets stored in your mid term memory. Think of it like a "cache" on a CPU, then only parts of it get transferred to RAM, and then after 30s or so an even smaller amount of it gets stored to hard drive. The important part is: In that first moment just after seeing the image, you still have basically the entire thing available to you, before it rapidly decays at an exponential rate. Which means that if you have the experience / are good enough to make use of and process information within that first half a second or so, it is actually surprisingly "easy" to do something like this.
It's funny, you have a hard time recognizing Newfoundland but since I live there I can easily tell it apart from the rest of Canada. It's the short, windswept conifers mixed with a scattered ash or birch tree, paired with the rugged terrain and poor road conditions. Also eastern NFLD looks very different than western. The eastern part near the Avalon peninsula where most coverage is will often have small to medium lichen-covered boulders jutting out of the moss-lands.
@@kyojin7177 you're right, it is what we're called outside of newfoundland, but I've never heard the actuall province called 'newfie' in my life. You'll never hear someone say "I'm from newfie".
I’m from here and pretty damn distinct but I’ve surprisingly got places like Alaska, BC, Yukon, etc. and guessed NL.. the road conditions are probably the a huge factor there lol
I think what is going on in here is pattern recognition. A subconscious process that is very hard to explain because one does not really think about the small details the brain uses to come up with the educated guesses. Then there are the conscious learned things like with the cars, roads signs and electric poles. This is to validate feelings like "It feels like Peru", because indeed your subconsious brain saw the patterns invisible to your conscious brain and gave you the feeling of it being Peru. Veritasium has a nice video about the subject of experts, which in my opinion is exactly what is happening here. Greetings from the Nordics
The same goes for botanical recognition for me. When you study the characteristics of plants/fungi, by family or genus, you begin to recognize them unconsciously even if you don't remember what it is specifically, you can't explain it but you feel it. The human mind is incredible.
As a screening agent working at an airport it’s the same with X-ray. I remember training so much to detect explosives or parts of it that I could tell in one second where it was or if there were no explosives in the image
As someone living in New Zealand, here might be some additional knowledge for you: Harakeke, or flex plant only grows in New Zealand, and they grow literally everywhere, included in that image. So if you see it, it cant be chile
14:11 I'm Brazilian, and the correct point coincidentally is in the state (Paraíba) that I live near my city (Patos), as soon as I saw the image I knew it was here near my city.
geoguessr tourney idea, i would love to see a mode where you have teams of 3 but the team score averages the best two players (throw away the bottom). on a few of the guesses we've seen so far, including the second guess in the score would wildly change the outcome. makes precise hedging more important as opposed to "just cover as many regions as possible"
This is exactly what I was hoping you would do. I love your content it's super fascinating. You going to break a million before the end of the year. Congratulations
If I see orange-ish dirt in Geoguessr, it's most often Brazil, Cambodia, or Uganda. It's usually pretty easy to distinguish between those three countries unless it's completely offroad and there are no signs or people visible. The number one weird thing I look for in rounds is recycling bins since they quite often have readable town names on them although that's more to tell which town or city I'm in, which country the round is in is usually obvious before I'm at the stage where I'm trying to read town names off of bins.
When you explain what you're seeing then it's easier to see how fast you get it, especially having spent so much time playing the game. I'm crap at that game but if there was a "Computer parts guessr" then I'm sure I'd be top 10

You should try a challenge where you get viewers to send in photos of their travels and you guess where they are when they took it. Would be a really cool way to interact with the community and I think would be a difficult challenge.
As someone who didn’t travel much until later in life it really is wild how distinct places are from each other. I’m from the southeast US and he’s exactly right about the trees at 2:30 but I always assumed it was like that in a lot of other places too but nope, just southeast US. Crazy.
Funny thing is I suck at geoguessr, but whenever I see other people play, I always correctly guess Brasil based on the dirt. I have absolutely no way to rationally and consciously deduce it, nor any real experience to help me feel it out. I don't think I was ever informed on how Brasil's dirt is distinct nor if dirt is a strong indicator for it's regions to begin with, but somehow I luck out on it with confidence, instantly. The fact that this is a thing you're known for doing legitimately makes this even more entertaining to me, I like to think I have that 0.0001% of your talent for absolutely no reason.
I'm brazilian and I can confirm the brazilian northeast has that kind of dirt 😅 That region is very very dry because the temperatures go easily up to 45°C and sometimes it doesn't rain for MONTHS! Yes, they suffer with no water, no plantations... in some regious it even looks like a deserted place.
you explaining that you make mistakes too was an unexpected wholesome spike out of no where. besides that you are definitely a genius to do what you do.
I live in a region of Brazil that is known that red soil. I live in the north of Paraná, whose people are known as red-footed paranaenses. This area was populated in by coffee planters. Coffee thrives in that red volcanic soil.
I can definitely relate to the "sixth sense" bit, if you live anywhere rural you can kind of tell when you see your area in a photo online or something. Whether its the trees, the lighting, the shitty pothole filled MidMichigan roads or whatever, you just kinda know. One tidbit about Michigan in particular is that forests are very rarely only one type of tree, its always a mix of maple, birch and pine trees. Plus backroads usually have very deep ditches with long grass in them.
It’s cool how he acknowledges that he has developed sort of a sixth sense. I know exactly what you mean, since I play a lot of puzzle games like sudoku. I also do some weird things which I don’t really know how I come up with the solutions. It’s just my sixth sense doing it lol.

If I see orange-ish dirt in Geoguessr, it's most often Brazil, Cambodia, or Uganda. It's usually pretty easy to distinguish between those three countries unless it's completely offroad and there are no signs or people visible.
The number one weird thing I look for in rounds is recycling bins since they quite often have readable town names on them although that's more to tell which town or city I'm in, which country the round is in is usually obvious before I'm at the stage where I'm trying to read town names off of bins.
I'm from Brazil. Everything he said about the brazilian dirt makes sense to me. It's a kind of unspoken knowledge, but it's there.
people say "go touch grass" but having this knowledge of the world is worth the learning
"I can see the car has mirrors, so Ghana"
"Yep, Ghana"
this dude literally spends more time waiting for it to load than actually playing the game
I know its weird, but being a brazilian, i can recognize the dirt, idk, the dirt here is pretty distinctive, its kind of a vibe thing indeed.
i love that you say nice to yourself at a guess then the video also says nice
Or how you just repeat what your past said lmfao
You've gotten really good at pattern recognition and using your intuition based on patterns you've noticed in the past.
Idk why but it's so funny when he talks and syncs up with his past self
if this guy was kidnapped and ever got a hold of a cell phone, he could tell the police his exact location
When you explain what you're seeing then it's easier to see how fast you get it, especially having spent so much time playing the game. I'm crap at that game but if there was a "Computer parts guessr" then I'm sure I'd be top 10
9:11 I def got North American desert vibes but i probably would’ve leaned Arizona. maybe if there was a yellow tint to everything I would’ve said mexico
As someone who won my school’s geography bee and nearly made it to the finals of the state bee this guy is just on a completely different level. I can probably do the same thing as him with countries outlines but no way I could do this.
Yeah i also know every country in the world.
@@legendkyd2474 I know them like I can literally recognize them as fast as I can recognize that A is the the letter A. If only I was this good at something useful in life like coding or business I could be rich but no it had to be geography.
I just realized. This guy could never get lost in the wild. He would literally always know where he is. That is insane.
It’s amazing looking in to your thought process when it comes to these. Also really helps as someone that’s easing their way into learning too!
If this man played Phasmophobia he would get the ghost type without leaving the van. His pattern recognition skills are insane
You should try a challenge where you get viewers to send in photos of their travels and you guess where they are when they took it. Would be a really cool way to interact with the community and I think would be a difficult challenge.
We don't need another GeoWizard, that's literally his thing
As someone who didn’t travel much until later in life it really is wild how distinct places are from each other. I’m from the southeast US and he’s exactly right about the trees at 2:30 but I always assumed it was like that in a lot of other places too but nope, just southeast US. Crazy.
Thanks for all the explaining, really helps us who are trying to get into geoguessr
Funny thing is I suck at geoguessr, but whenever I see other people play, I always correctly guess Brasil based on the dirt.
I have absolutely no way to rationally and consciously deduce it, nor any real experience to help me feel it out. I don't think I was ever informed on how Brasil's dirt is distinct nor if dirt is a strong indicator for it's regions to begin with, but somehow I luck out on it with confidence, instantly. The fact that this is a thing you're known for doing legitimately makes this even more entertaining to me, I like to think I have that 0.0001% of your talent for absolutely no reason.
I'm brazilian and I can confirm the brazilian northeast has that kind of dirt 😅 That region is very very dry because the temperatures go easily up to 45°C and sometimes it doesn't rain for MONTHS! Yes, they suffer with no water, no plantations... in some regious it even looks like a deserted place.
you explaining that you make mistakes too was an unexpected wholesome spike out of no where. besides that you are definitely a genius to do what you do.
I live in a region of Brazil that is known that red soil. I live in the north of Paraná, whose people are known as red-footed paranaenses. This area was populated in by coffee planters. Coffee thrives in that red volcanic soil.
I can definitely relate to the "sixth sense" bit, if you live anywhere rural you can kind of tell when you see your area in a photo online or something. Whether its the trees, the lighting, the shitty pothole filled MidMichigan roads or whatever, you just kinda know. One tidbit about Michigan in particular is that forests are very rarely only one type of tree, its always a mix of maple, birch and pine trees. Plus backroads usually have very deep ditches with long grass in them.
You are quickly becoming one of my new favorite youtubers. Keep it up!
This guy takes photos of the entire book with his brain so he can read later.
“this pebble on the side of the road spoke chile or new zealand”
1:15 finally someone understands the annoying advertisments all around my country.. i swear guys, that problem is worse than you think
It’s cool how he acknowledges that he has developed sort of a sixth sense. I know exactly what you mean, since I play a lot of puzzle games like sudoku. I also do some weird things which I don’t really know how I come up with the solutions. It’s just my sixth sense doing it lol.
i love hearing your thought process on this!! my toxic trait is thinking i’m picking up how to play just by watching your tourneys and stuff LOL
this guy could probably find out my exact location just from a singular pixel of my blank white painted wall
1 year later and I'm still blown away just by your inquisitive intuition alone.
Hope you continue to post more on RUclips! I really love watching you play/listening to your commentary.
Crazy how you can remember all these little deltails to know where you are in the world. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning.
This was both very fun and entertaining so please do more
I remember like 4 or 5 years ago I used to watch captaindparklez casually play geoguesser and even he picked up on Brazilian dirt being very red
Love to see people WHO are great at things say that everything is not first try because its easy to think that if all you see is highlights so big up to you!
This is what mastering a skill looks like.
But could you use this skill outside of geoguesser?
@@Guus115 If he got kidnapped and dropped in some random part of the world he would know exactly where he was.
Will that help him survive in any way? No.
@@Guus115 Geowizard sometimes uses it to identify where photos were taken. I could see it being useful for doing investigations, but only if the country happens to be in Geoguessr
10:55 "I discredit myself with this one i guess"
Hmmmmm, nah bruh. Not really. Not at all. XD XD
That Danemark guess was absolute insanity.
As a Brazilian with family in both areas he guessed, yes it does look like Brazilian soil 😭
Ent ne kkkkk

You do not want to be on this man’s bad side he will pinpoint your exact location from a pic you took with friends while hanging out outside.
ur content is awesome and rlly entertaining, looking forward to what u put out in the future
