I think it was 3 most common answers in the last one, Mongolia as well 😅

[@GeoPeter]

True!

Fun games! My scores: 93: 214.2 92: 163.3 91: 244.3 90: 105.1 I have been able to score 0.0 on occasion by loading the game before anyone had submitted any answers and thus being one of the first to submit each answer.

[@GeoPeter]

Haha, nice!

Because of the way this game works, the scores for each country in each square must be adjusted slightly after every time someone plays a board (because the distribution of the guesses changes). That means that two people with exactly the same guesses on the same board may end up with very different scores in the end. That's quite fascinating.

[@GeoPeter]

Yup, exactly!

I do enjoy this game. Thanks!

Trinidad is actually South America. It's only 11km off the coast of Venezuela and is part of the South American continental shelf

[@GeoPeter]

While on the continental shelf of South America, it is classified as a North American country - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependent_territories_in_North_America

I've been hyperfixating a lot on this game, made a tier list with the rarity stats from the game's API (I don't think it counts as cheating because you could also study the most and least popular answers, this is just more accurate). Germany, Monaco and Brazil are currently the worst countries. Dominican Republic seems to be at the top right now, but then who knows how many people end up reading this comment and start guessing it all the time that it's a valid answer for a square, and then it might start being bad. I'm also trying to use every country that's recognized by the game at least once, but I still have a few to go. Haven't got the chance to use Zambia lately, for example. Which is also one of the top tier countries.

[@GeoPeter]

Wow, interesting! Thanks for sharing!

[@palmtreegal3]

This is fun!

[@GeoPeter]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

I try to make this game as fun as possible, so for tricky squares, I look up countries that could fit in the categories given or look up a list of countries that fit into certain countries e.g., today I looked up a list of all countries with French as an official language and then went down the list to find French-speaking countries that fit the other categories. I know it defeats the purpose and is cheating, but it's more fun as I don't want to stretch my brain cells. I don't do this everyday as it takes more time than the other daily games I do and is a bit more challenging.

[@GeoPeter]

I'm glad you are enjoying this game! :)

[@kiyoshiee]

Yep, you're just cheating.

[@tobbex7372]

Tried to play this #93 and was so frustrated. In the middle row I tried to write the CITIES. Even cheated with google and wiki at the end, then my testperiod for today was over. The I looked at Your video and saw that the was the COUNTRY...I feel so dumb now....

[@GeoPeter]

That happens 😂

[@RobertssU]

hmm Gibraltar is not a country though... idk about Spain

[@GeoPeter]

It's still a border with a separate country (UK)

[@ГеоГессерРоссия]

Good

[@Arjun-t5q]

First!
