Quite surprised. The shape at the south suggested the right answer to me, but I kept rejecting it because I thought India was longer east-west than north-south. With one guess left, and not yet within 1400 miles, I decided “why not?”

I should have known this straight away. When I was learning German I must have looked at the map of the country 100 times. Quite a few years ago though.

I was in West Africa the whole time and still missed out

CAR and this one are very similar shapes. My disambiguation clue is CAR has more of a hump on northern border.

I was in West Africa for most of mine. CAR (guess 4) was furthest east, not knowing what shape CAR was, or where CAR was (the C was a hint), or exactly where in Africa I wanted to be. Thus, fairly typical. I did get two of the right answer’s neighbors.

At some point I will turn off the N/S.

I thought it looked familiar (my dad fought in the war there). I remember the great Ken Burns documentary where the VietCong would sneak into the neighboring country (Laos?) to get to the south.

Maybe should have gotten it sooner, but felt sure as soon as I saw it that I would solve it. First guess reinforced confidence. All within 1000 miles.

A frustrating one. Got the general region correct on guess 1. The last 5 guesses were all within 235 miles or less.

close, not close enough. last guess within 150. but one additional guess wouldn’t have had it.

I have been working on the components of Yugoslavia, so that was a help today.

That’s a tough one with 6 X 4 1/2s. At least you had it surrounded!

Sometimes i expect to see the West Bank included as part of the answer, but after reading on wiki, they captured it in 1948 war and renounced claims on it in 1988. TIL
