Agree on all accounts. It's the first one I "knew" as in had no hesitation. The flag was just too recognizable to be in question.Xenophon wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 1:03 pmI'm interested to see if we do sync up.
Today's was pretty easy given the fairly high rate the country pops into current events. One bit that I didn't realize was tricking my brain until today was scale. The outline appears roughly the same size regardless of actual country dimensions and it didn't strike me how off-putting it was until todays, where you have a large country occupying the same screen real-estate as significantly smaller countries just a few guesses ago. It doesn't feel as noticeable when very small countries are presented as larger, guess I'll have to try to add that to the consideration pile when guessing.
It was a gimme for me, too.honorentheos wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 1:30 pmAgree on all accounts. It's the first one I "knew" as in had no hesitation. The flag was just too recognizable to be in question.Xenophon wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 1:03 pmI'm interested to see if we do sync up.

Also agree on the scale question. It threw me off on the one you had yesterday.
I'm resisting the urge to open the link. So we will see if tomorrow we are synced up or if I just miss a day.

Either would have given it to me. I've been there. We sometimes fly that flag.honorentheos wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 1:07 amGlad to see someone else also playing, Morley.
I'm curious if the geographic shape played a role for you? I admit it was the flag that gave it away for me. I wouldn't have known it by its outline, or I don't think I would. I think I'd recognize their neighbor and historic rival because of reasons based on outline so maybe. But in this instance it was definitely the flag that made me certain and not feel like I was guessing.
Well now I might feel like a jerk.honorentheos wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 12:59 pmI'm going to guess we didn't sync up, then Or I'm worse at this than I even could guess?
I was one country off, guessing a neighbor.
That was the one I had, too.Xenophon wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 1:58 pmWell now I might feel like a jerk.honorentheos wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 12:59 pmI'm going to guess we didn't sync up, then Or I'm worse at this than I even could guess?
