Spouse to the rescue. Good chance I would have gotten it by myself in 4, but

spoilertext

baffled by distances for guesses 1 and 2.

Doesn’t seem right to me that something east of the UK is further east of Croatia. Google confirms the distances though. Must be the the north/south differences contribution.

Wife’s first guess (before even seeing my guesses and the distances was Japan). Then (before a third guess) I showed her the distances. She agreed that seemed impossible, still liked Japan. I still thought Japan had to be too far away, but tried it.

In retrospect, of course it should have been guess 1.

On the bright side, surely the day won’t be a shutout. I thought that would be safe just from WTUSA, but stats say I missed that once. But no chance I won’t get a positive score in WhenTaken.

wtus missed the triple for me.
when : first 3 distances were way off. 4 and 5 were 3 km and 195m. Years were 11/11/3/7/0. 555 total.

And great circle distances are unintuitive to a two dimensional map background. Something like Maine is closest state to Africa, IIRC.

You can change WhenTaken to give distances in miles, if you prefer. (I do, though it’s not nearly as important to me as in the other games, since you only get distances as a result, not as a clue for your next guess.)

Mixed up languages question, put “My name is” for English and “My name is” for creole, when it was the other way around.

I must say they really hammer you when you’re more than 10 years out.

They also clobber you if you guess the wrong part of a medium sized country.

nigeria instead of Angola, florence instead of tripoli (surely there aren’t palm trees in florence, but the roof of the church and fiat), south japan instead of s korea. What looked like sd on the lower roof might have been school district instead of south dakota, or just an s

Missed the triple by 1 on wtw.

I think they’ve changed the scoring a bit so that if you’re within a couple of decades you still get a pretty good score. Yesterday I got 727km and 6yrs for 121 points whereas today I got 1080km and 8yrs for 139 points

got taken by the English on the sign, shiuld have realized tigt hand drive meant china over japan. Fat fingered year on 1st response, my guess was better than default. Got lucky on francophone african capital on 3( japanese and brazilian flags?. Gambled 4 was capital since it is definitely on the end of the country. I think we all fell for the airline trick in 5.

Missed wtw today.
