207.6 for me. Looks alright this.

[Pepe]

Wait, is a lower or a higher score better?

[niko_cee]

Lower, I was confused by that at first as well.

[Jimmy Floyd]

97, I ballsed up one (not sure how many colours I decided for that moment were in Hungary's flag) but appears they just let you off. Very charitable of them.

[niko_cee]

It would appear that that game is largely a test of how well you know obscure Caribbean islands

[Shindig]

132.1 with a full board. 6% was my rarest pull, although I'd consider every single country as common as muck.

[SincereTheRebel]

I will keep track of the scores to crown the true goat

I quite like this game. Good find James. Got 101 points today and 130 yesterday. Think I used one of the answers for the wrong grid as I would've thought it would've scored lower there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I did it yesterday but was annoyed at how poorly I did.

Better today.

The PSV connection sunk me on immaculate footy today to some extent, which was annoying as I had some of the right answers in my mind but I couldn't think of their names.

My two wrong answers were Bermuda for coastline over 1km and in North America (how is that wrong? even on their thing it says it has a coastline of 180km and is NA) and Central African Republic for the green flag as I read the category as MORE than 7 letters long.

Also, Mexico being the lowest for over 40 medals in NA is annoying because I instantly dismissed them as being one of the top 3 most obvious.

Edit: I'm an idiot regarding why it was wrong...

89.9 Had to confirm North America is apparently no longer just USA and Canada.

One thing I get from this game is how many big nations go under the radar.

[niko_cee]

Yeah. There are two countries in North America, but I guess CONCACAF is what they are angling at.

[SincereTheRebel]

Had a shocker.

Capital is not the most populated city - I went down the route of Australia as the capital is Canberra and isn't the most popular place there. Clearly, I was over thinking.

I could have done better with EU nation with two coloured flag but it's hard not to go for Poland/Cyprus if they fit in categories.

Mexico has been North America for at least as far as I have been alive.

Yeah, Mexico plus the Central American states plus Caribbean is always being taught as part of North America here as well.

Does it not have a little castle or something on it? I tried that as well and then had to go for something safer.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Some text and a man riding a horse that is fucking a dragon? in black in the cross.

Harsh to be done by that.

[Pepe]

Central America, although that admittedly isn't a continent if that's the angle. Think I did alright today although had to accept a few common answers.

In Geography, we were taught that most of Mexico was in North America, except for a tiny sliver that belongs to Central America, which was treated as separate.

I did the exact same mistake. I haven't gotten many wrong so far, but the game does seem to let you have one mistake and still get a full grid. I'm currently doing the ones I missed and got a 127.3 from todays.

The five coloured flags are bullshit as they seemingly accept any flag where the emblem makes up most of the colours. Thought I'd done very well in that section, but since the flags actually all have five colours and no emblems, the points weren't great.

Edit: 137,6 & 278.9 from the weekend ones 😕

At least one of them has to have been you gaming the drop down menus.

Ironically I tried to get one of those territories by its proper name but it wasn't available, and then the penguins turned out to not have any GDP figures available for them.

[Waffdon]

Toggle Spoiler

The only low score other than Comoros (not that difficult if you watch AFCON) was Cameroon which makes no sense. The only explanation can be everyone put that as the French speaking country.

Half the game is naming small islands in Oceania, Caribbean and Africa which isn’t too difficult if you play Sporcle, GeoGuesser etc)

Knowing what touches the Eurasian Steppe or is apparently in the European Union is a different story
