Geoguessr - The Race to 15 [countries in a row] #3

With the Challenger (Geography Challenges) dropped his game slightly and achieving a measly 11 (still 1 higher than my record) now's the time to get my act together, but a heavy night on the town surely took it's toll on my cognitive skills?
Spoiler alert: There's an insane guess in here, and it might be my favorite one ever.

[@ryanmarx3812]

@emmitt white that's not true

In the past France had the front plate white and the back plate yellow. Bcs it where all old cars it where also old license plates. Thats why it was not Luxoumbourg plates.

[@garyking5036]

Most likely the plates are yellow because the picture is like a decade old, which is a different yellow/orange than Luxembourgs btw. there's no such licensed plates in France anymore nowadays even on old cars as i noticed a few years back.

Laughed when you tried to pronounce "slaghuis" .It's my language, Afrikaans, derived from Dutch. "Slag" meaning buthers and "huis" meaning "house" so butcher house/ butchery. Love your videos man, can't wait for part 3

[@Patches2212]

Guess one can say he "butchered" our language

[@RealCadde]

I am pretty confident "Slag" means "Slaughter" and "huis" means "House". Slaughterhouse. But whatever...

[@EugeneAyindolmah]

@@RealCadde It does

[@Patches2212]

@Cadde , although you are correct, the terms slaughter house and butchery are interchangeable and synonymous with one another in both English and Afrikaans. Like the term "slagter" doesn't translate to "slaughterer", but "butcher", thereby proving the duality of the term "slag".

[@marcusotter]

Saying that my city "Uppsala" is a place in Sweden, "obviously" has me so impressed. It only has ~150 000 inhabitants, not an obvious city at all when you're comparing it to the entire *world's* cities. Fantastic channel, found you through mission across wales and staying for this great geoguessr content.

[@chloefossard4604]

Just so it doesn't confuse you too much in the future, French cars from before 2009 do have yellow number plates at their backs. The more recent ones don't anymore, but you still see very many of the yellow ones.

[@Ynysmydwr]

Congratulations on the 15! Here are some more of my "helpful hints". I hope it makes them seem less annoying if I tell you that they relate only to the places I guessed right ...best to draw a veil over the many that I got hopelessly wrong. 9:55 -- Couldn't have been Romania, in any case; not with that yellow-diamond "bends ahead" road sign. 11:55 -- That style of road-edge-striping is *very* Danish, and yes, Danish numberplates do have a red surround. 16:45 -- Numberplate (European shape) and yellow directional sign (even though it's blurred) make it Norway. 30:35 -- Quite a few older vehicles in France still have black-and-white front numberplates, yellow rear numberplates -- which was the style there until a few years ago. By the way, Tom, you are showing your (young) age by failing to recognize a Renault 4 when you see one!😀

[@elizabethcollis9519]

As an Australian seeing the mix of yellow (NSW) and white number plates (I'm pretty sure elsewhere) and knowing it was (probably) going to be on the border of NSW and Vic, I felt so tense watching you almost guess South Africa for the 2nd guess.

[@UbuhEats]

I knew it was in Australia because of the number plates and the houses. The containers were a dead giveaway it was near Sydney Airport. I would have guessed in Tempe so only a few more kms down the road

[@emmittwhite1290]

When did you sub? I subbed last year and I’m trying to figure out how many he had when I subbed

[@Brax1982]

2017, here. The algorithm always promoted him for Geoguessr. But this Mission Across Wales business made him pop up in my recs, although I wasn't watching anything Geoguessr-related for a long time. Then again, the recs do work differently, now. They give you suggestions based on everything you ever watched instead of what you watched most recently and most frequently.

[@pidgeotroll]

Your channel is going BONKERS right now! +125k subs (+150% of original) growth since your first Mission Across Wales video dropped. I know it was a huge endeavor, but I suggest you start planning something similar, an outdoors trek-type video series, to follow up and capitalize on your current success. PS: I got 13 in a row but no video proof of course. PPS: When saying "Jaguar" in an American accent, we say "JAG-whar" (with the hard r sound), or "JAG-wire," depending on region.

[@RealCadde]

From what i know, he had like 50k subs before the wales video. So that's actually a 400% growth. A.K.A, 50*4 = 200k. Roughly. And +150k subs btw but i won't be picky about that.

I've been imagining you with a gopro driving across europe, or india, or any other place for that matter, and it would be amazing. if watching you look at images of foreign places on geoguessr is interesting, imagine if you were actually exploring the country. It's awesome that you got to put that idea into action in wales, but you definitely need to continue, cus you could easily become one of those giant channels of world travelers who get tons of donations to help finance their trips. if you let us know that you were fundraising for something like that i would definitely throw ya 5 quid m8

[@Brax1982]

Complicated issue. They are sovereign states, but not sovereign countries. All ruled by the same queen. At least, they are not countries by all definitions. They have their own national football teams. But they go to the Olympics as UK. Stuff like that. Then there is that whole thing with Israel and Palestine... The important thing here is that they are not countries on Google Maps. That's what should count.

[@riceboi7867]

Simple answer = no

[@Ulkomaalainen]

The confusion isn't helped by the fact that the UK calls their first level divisions "countries", but in general, countries are those who go to the United Nations, so that's the UK here, which encompasses both Scotland and England, so same country.
