    Dude I forced my uncle who is a tutor (for synchronous geographical developement) at the biggest economy/geography based university in our country to watch the second seed you played and he was actually very impressed with your knowledge, and it's not easy to leave an impression on that man lol.
    Kudos!

    I got rank 58 in board #31. Sadly can't compare with you. But I used the Turkey and UK guesses from the previous board. The other three boards were not quite as good. On #32 I tried to be clever and tried to use the Sarajevo Winter Olympics 1984. As Yugoslavia didn't work, I used Bosnia and lost a guess as it didn't count.

      I was thinking about Sarajevo as well. So it doesn't work, that is disappointing.

    Absolutely goated performance on the second board 🐐

    GG!
    This is a fun game and I try ty play it every day (if I have the time).
    On board #24, i scored a pedestrian 211.4.
    The scores vary constantly depending on what has been guessed, and most players try to guess the more obscure countries so guessing the most obvious country is not always a bad guess.
    The best strategy is to load the game as soon as it's released, at midnight Eastern time, before anyone else has submitted any guesses. Then you can score the legendary first 0.0% score on each answer.

    • @finlandtaipan4454
      @finlandtaipan4454 3 месяца назад

      Oh, there are more rounds.
      On board #25, my strategy totally backfired. I was ever so slightly late, and although I got the coveted 1st (legendary 0.0%) on five of the coutries, I also got the last (with 100% penalty) on 3 of them and another with 66.7%. Total 366.7, yikes!
      Thank you for not playing board #31 because that was another failrure of my strategy (6 legendary firsts but also 3 loathsome lasts for a total score of 300).
      I did better on board #32 later in the day: 99.2.
      Vatican City is so wrong on so many levels. They totally failed on human development index the other day.

    For the first grid you played, TERRIBLY disappointed that France is not a valid option according to the website (French Guiana).

    Board 32 - Score: 65.5 Rank: 134 / 8,167
    Board 25 - Score: 68.7 Rank: 288 / 18,640
    Board 24 - Score: 98.8 Rank: 98 / 21,517
    Honestly a bit shocked at my scores. I knew I'd do "good", but a couple of these were far beyond my expectations.

    These are cool, but I found them to be a little repetitive. The same few criteria seem to be used over and over.

    • @Lennli
      @Lennli 3 месяца назад +3

      yeah i agree, all of us didnt play them before recording though so for now it was very fun

    • @Zemmip
      @Zemmip 3 месяца назад +1

      @Lennli yeah, this would be great daily game if they can just add a wider variety of categories IMO

    • @Canadagraphs
      @Canadagraphs 3 месяца назад +3

      yeah, one of the streamers I watch, did them for like 7-8 days, then stopped because they were kind of repetitive. They need to think up different topics.

    Tested Brunei on #32 and says it doesn't count... but GDP's at 37K and the whole country has less than 50K people. Weird

  • @unknown6000
    @unknown6000 3 месяца назад

    Wait since when has Turkey has over $30k GDP per capita?
    Also this is how I did (well enough but you of course beat me by a mile):
    Board #24: 102.7 (137/21,925)
    Board #25: 81.7 (758/19,147)
    Board #32: 64.7 (193/12,679)

  • @denmlastankovic
    @denmlastankovic 3 месяца назад +1

    Didnt like the fact that they've completely ignored 1984 Sarajevo Olympics. Wasted both of my guesses on Bosnia and Serbia (present day country that games were held and present day country that inherited most of that sort of things from Yugoslavia period). Quizmaker should either steer clear from that sort of questions, write futnote before taking the quiz like Sporcle does or accept both answers...

    What do you mean so few countries with the letter A? Easiest letter for me when it comes to countries. Am I not catching on to the American sarcasm?
