  1. 0:00Yo, what's good everyone? Zigzag here.
  2. 0:01Welcome back to another Geoguessr video.
  3. 0:03Today we are on what some people
  4. 0:04consider the hardest map in all of
  5. 0:06Geoguessr. It's Plonk It Extreme. So,
  6. 0:09Plonk is kind of the hub of the
  7. 0:10Geoguessr community. And over on that
  8. 0:12Discord, people compiled their hardest
  9. 0:14list of locations. And this is the
  10. 0:16extreme version of that map. So, as you
  11. 0:18might be able to tell, extremely
  12. 0:19difficult. The average score here,
  13. 0:217,100.
  14. 0:23And of course, we'll be playing no
  15. 0:24moving, panning, or zooming. Let's see
  16. 0:26how many countries in a row we can get
  17. 0:28right today. As we start off with the
  18. 0:30first location here, which is on a dirt
  19. 0:32road. Looks like we're probably driving
  20. 0:34right hand side of the road, hard to
  21. 0:35tell. Yeah, it's kind of like a dike of
  22. 0:37some kind over the open ocean here.
  23. 0:40First thought was Europe here. The house
  24. 0:42in the background look white in a way
  25. 0:44that does remind me of Europe. It's not
  26. 0:46a perfectly north-south-east-west road
  27. 0:47either, which probably also fits.
  28. 0:49Denmark or Netherlands came to mind here
  29. 0:51just with the land reclamation kind of
  30. 0:53vibe. I thought maybe Denmark over here.
  31. 0:55I could see this being North America. US
  32. 0:57or Canada also both possible.
  33. 1:00Um I was kind of thinking of like this
  34. 1:01kind of area around southern Ontario.
  35. 1:03You do get some similar looking roads
  36. 1:04there, but I don't know. I'm not
  37. 1:06convinced. I think I got to go for
  38. 1:07Europe here. Uh the white buildings in
  39. 1:09the background, that's what reminds me a
  40. 1:11bit of North America, but I am going to
  41. 1:12go for Europe here. And can I find an
  42. 1:15east-southeast road of some description
  43. 1:18that would make sense? Like this here
  44. 1:20would be perfect, but we want to go
  45. 1:21southeast, not northeast. Okay, this
  46. 1:23piece of road here, pretty good
  47. 1:25actually. Right kind of angle, and we do
  48. 1:27look onto the right kind of shape of uh
  49. 1:29land over here. So, I kind of like this
  50. 1:32guess. I can't even lie. Let's give it a
  51. 1:33go. And yeah, that was wow. I was not
  52. 1:36expecting to start this video with a
  53. 1:37flipping 5K, but there we go. That was
  54. 1:40uh just a matter of using the compass a
  55. 1:41little bit. I knew it would kind of look
  56. 1:43like this on the map with the kind of
  57. 1:44the thin land with the road. [music]
  58. 1:46And that was quite a remarkable
  59. 1:48beginning to the video. Probably not
  60. 1:49going to go so well for me on round
  61. 1:50number two, but let's find out. This
  62. 1:52looks like it might be Russia to me. Um
  63. 1:54even without checking the copyright,
  64. 1:56which is 2021, I was thinking Russia and
  65. 1:582021 copyright is really common over
  66. 2:00there. We have the snow coverage, which
  67. 2:02is really commonly found in the south of
  68. 2:04Russia, um, especially in Generation 4.
  69. 2:06And then, yeah, I mean, just look at the
  70. 2:07mountains. It looks like when I was in
  71. 2:09the Caucasus. And this kind of pine as
  72. 2:11well, also very common, I would say. I'm
  73. 2:13not sure what kind it is, but it's very
  74. 2:14common down here. There are certain
  75. 2:16roads down here that look like this. I'm
  76. 2:18going to try and remember which this
  77. 2:19would be. So, Elbrus, where's Elbrus?
  78. 2:21So, Elbrus is down here. We could be on
  79. 2:23the road to Elbrus, to be honest. I
  80. 2:24don't know but it definitely kind of
  81. 2:25looks like it could be. Uh, feels like a
  82. 2:27fairly major road. Angle's also good.
  83. 2:29Like, this could be also towards
  84. 2:31Vladikavkaz as well, in which case we'll
  85. 2:33lose a bunch of points, but I'll go
  86. 2:34here. Oh my gosh, I should have tried to
  87. 2:36line it up. This start is insane. I've
  88. 2:38never seen either of these locations
  89. 2:39before, either. Obviously, this map only
  90. 2:40has about 700 locations, but still. Wow.
  91. 2:43Okay, next one here. I feel like this is
  92. 2:46North America trying to cosplay as
  93. 2:47Europe because it's very nondescript. We
  94. 2:51have a very patchy road that looks
  95. 2:53European. And yet, these trees here,
  96. 2:55these first kind of look North American.
  97. 2:56Now, I'm second-guessing myself, though.
  98. 2:58We have a bike path of some description.
  99. 3:01I don't know, like, it it definitely
  100. 3:02looks a bit like like a Ukraine-Poland
  101. 3:05kind of part of the world. No, I think
  102. 3:07it is North America. I think these
  103. 3:09little bushes here, the way they've
  104. 3:10planted these looks North American. Does
  105. 3:12it, man? I think so. I think it's like
  106. 3:15Ontario, maybe, somewhere around there.
  107. 3:18Uh, man. Oh, this is like a really good
  108. 3:20one. This this one I really don't know.
  109. 3:23This green sign off to the left here, I
  110. 3:25I don't know what I should think of
  111. 3:26that, either. I don't know, the you the
  112. 3:28road looks it's it's wide like a North
  113. 3:30American road, but the dust on it and
  114. 3:32the patchiness of it really look
  115. 3:35European. Uh, I don't know. I'm going to
  116. 3:37like, if I squinted only at this
  117. 3:39vegetation, I would instantly think
  118. 3:40North America. And I think vegetation's
  119. 3:42a little bit more reliable than the
  120. 3:43road. Although, what are these signs? I
  121. 3:45have no idea. So, I'm going to go I'm
  122. 3:46going to go Toronto here. I'm going to
  123. 3:48go Toronto. Let's see if that's a decent
  124. 3:49guess. Okay, it was Montreal. That's
  125. 3:52another great guess. This is I don't
  126. 3:53know why it gave me the 5K emoji just
  127. 3:55then, but this is a really, really good
  128. 3:56start, especially considering the map.
  129. 3:58So,
  130. 3:59>> [snorts]
  131. 3:59>> yeah, should have gone a bit further
  132. 4:00north, but that is actually delightful.
  133. 4:02Wow, this is going way better than you'd
  134. 4:05ever expect. Now we're getting hit with
  135. 4:07the unofficial coverage. It looks like
  136. 4:09Peru to me. Is that crazy? This kind of
  137. 4:12tufty grass. But we're only looking off
  138. 4:14to the side of the road. Like this could
  139. 4:15be Norway for all I know, so that's
  140. 4:17really annoying. Is that the sun? No,
  141. 4:19that's just like a radio tower,
  142. 4:21telephone tower of some kind. We've got
  143. 4:22a tent over here. What is that tent
  144. 4:25doing? Very confusing.
  145. 4:27Looks like we've got a bit of snow going
  146. 4:28on, no? Okay, so I might have to change
  147. 4:30my Peru guess cuz you don't get snow
  148. 4:33just sitting on hills too much in Peru.
  149. 4:35So, so now I'm thinking this actually is
  150. 4:37Norway, perhaps even Turkey I could see
  151. 4:40working or or I don't know, something
  152. 4:41with similar shape mountains. Uh, this
  153. 4:43is It's a very pale road. What is this
  154. 4:46tent? I think it's just snow. That's why
  155. 4:47I'm not going to guess Peru. Mhm.
  156. 4:50Normally whenever I play an unofficial
  157. 4:51coverage map, I turn off the author name
  158. 4:53in the bottom. The person here is called
  159. 4:56Jacques. So, would I meta game and
  160. 4:58actually go Alpine France? It actually
  161. 5:00fits, that's the thing, cuz we've got
  162. 5:02the snow. We've got a very pale road,
  163. 5:03which is decently common in France.
  164. 5:05We've got a radio tower. You might want
  165. 5:07to put that if you're like trying to hit
  166. 5:08the people down here with the radio
  167. 5:10tower, you know? Uh,
  168. 5:12I'm going to do it cuz I don't have a
  169. 5:13better option. It could also be
  170. 5:14Switzerland, too. The mountains here are
  171. 5:15kind of to the north, so it may actually
  172. 5:17fit better for Switzerland. I'll go on
  173. 5:19the Swiss border here. Bit of meta
  174. 5:20gaming, but if it pays off, it pays off,
  175. 5:22right? Okay, it was Romania. So, I would
  176. 5:24have been closer in Turkey, but all in
  177. 5:26all, still a good guess. I mean, I'm
  178. 5:27still happy to get the right continent
  179. 5:28here. Okay, next one here. Probably
  180. 5:30taken by a Frenchman, just not just not
  181. 5:31quite in France, of course. Okay, next
  182. 5:33one here. So, this is North America.
  183. 5:35We've got the yellow lines. We've got
  184. 5:36this kind of guardrail with the like
  185. 5:38black plastic square box thing, which
  186. 5:41you see quite a lot in the USA. Um, this
  187. 5:43kind of red sand on the side of the
  188. 5:46road. It occurs in a few places.
  189. 5:49Um, I've definitely seen it like east of
  190. 5:51the hills around Bend in Oregon. I feel
  191. 5:53like you see it in New Mexico, too,
  192. 5:55which is kind of more obvious. Maybe you
  193. 5:57could see it in the Yellowstone National
  194. 5:58Park. I'm I'm kind of tempted by that,
  195. 6:00as well. It's like a big bushfire here.
  196. 6:02Look, the background had a big bushfire.
  197. 6:04We've got a circular bollard. Okay.
  198. 6:06Circular bollard, pretty common Wyoming,
  199. 6:09Colorado, New Mexico. So, the New Mexico
  200. 6:11idea may be good. I think these trees
  201. 6:13feel a bit too cold. So, maybe then the
  202. 6:15Wyoming shall just inside Yellowstone
  203. 6:18then. I mean, it could happen. I could
  204. 6:19see it. I don't think the round bollard
  205. 6:21thing would be common in Oregon. So, I'm
  206. 6:23going to I'm going to go for Yellowstone
  207. 6:24here, actually. And then go over here on
  208. 6:27this road. Ah, it can't be New Mexico.
  209. 6:29Well, it felt very cold, but I guess
  210. 6:30that's why it's on this map. We end up
  211. 6:32with a score of 17,200.
  212. 6:35What do you need to get onto the top
  213. 6:36scores of this map? Um, it's my best
  214. 6:38ever score, but you need 21K. Yeah, I
  215. 6:40think it would be the case that you
  216. 6:41could probably memorize a bunch of
  217. 6:42locations. So, it's probably not the
  218. 6:44most validating leaderboard ever.
  219. 6:46Anyway, next one here, Plonk Extreme. I
  220. 6:48feel like this has been updated to small
  221. 6:50cam, and it's probably a bit easier than
  222. 6:51it used to be, but I would probably just
  223. 6:53go Austria here, right? Very thin road.
  224. 6:56It's kind of a bad road for Austria,
  225. 6:58though. They're pretty rich in Austria.
  226. 6:59I don't know, the shape of this hill and
  227. 7:01the corn probably reminded me of that
  228. 7:02the most, though. So, I think I'll go
  229. 7:04for it anyway. I'll go outside of Graz
  230. 7:05here. And okay, it was, but just much
  231. 7:08further west. I still good. We got the
  232. 7:09country right twice in a row now, as we
  233. 7:11did at the start of the video. This one
  234. 7:12here, wow. What's going on? This to me
  235. 7:16feels like it's a hot country, but high
  236. 7:17altitude. So, I'm thinking like
  237. 7:20South Africa. I'm thinking maybe like
  238. 7:22Italy, Spain.
  239. 7:25Possibly even France. That's kind of the
  240. 7:28four countries that came to mind at
  241. 7:29first. Maybe even Greece, maybe. Could
  242. 7:31it ever be? Yeah, I could see Greece, as
  243. 7:33well. Is this South Africa, though? I
  244. 7:35think the road looks really European,
  245. 7:37right? The left side of the screen could
  246. 7:38certainly be, but I think it's actually
  247. 7:40Europe. Doesn't really look like we can
  248. 7:42see where the sun is cuz the sun would
  249. 7:43help us a lot, but it seems like it's
  250. 7:45just to our west.
  251. 7:46Genuinely could just be Sicily here.
  252. 7:50What do I think of a Sicily? Maybe
  253. 7:52Sardinia? Probably not so much. I might
  254. 7:54go for Sicily here, guys. A high
  255. 7:56altitude Sicily somehow could be
  256. 7:58correct. Crete, Alps, I don't know. It's
  257. 8:01too hard, but I'm going to go Sicily.
  258. 8:03Okay, it was actually
  259. 8:05not one of the countries I mentioned. It
  260. 8:06was Portugal. Mhm, yeah, makes sense. We
  261. 8:09did that country streak, though.
  262. 8:11Okay, next round. Wow, very
  263. 8:13Asian-looking hills. The hills that just
  264. 8:14jut out of the ground here. Um,
  265. 8:16we got big oil palms over here. So, I'm
  266. 8:19thinking this is indeed Asia and I don't
  267. 8:22know where. Probably Thailand. If If it
  268. 8:24was a normal location, I would think
  269. 8:26Thailand, but I'm thinking this is not
  270. 8:28going to be normal. So, maybe if it is a
  271. 8:30really difficult one, maybe we could be
  272. 8:32looking at a Cambodia, potentially.
  273. 8:34Indonesia, I could see. Malaysia, I
  274. 8:37could see, maybe more so. Probably like
  275. 8:39Probably that's Standing guess here is
  276. 8:40Thailand, but maybe this is just
  277. 8:42Malaysia. It's like the sandstone hills,
  278. 8:44right? So, I'm assuming to the north.
  279. 8:46Okay, that means we are southern
  280. 8:47hemisphere. Okay. Okay, okay. In which
  281. 8:49case, I will go Malaysia. I mean, that's
  282. 8:51like close to the equator, so that's why
  283. 8:52the sun might be a little bit deceiving.
  284. 8:54But, I mean, it could be Indonesia, but
  285. 8:56that would be pretty crazy. I'm going to
  286. 8:57go for outside of Ipoh here. Oh, wow.
  287. 9:00Wow, I knew you get cliffs like this,
  288. 9:02but again, I don't think I've ever had
  289. 9:03that location. That's just a nice guess.
  290. 9:05Very happy with that. There are some
  291. 9:07pretty famous cliffs, I think, around
  292. 9:08Ipoh, but this kind of the landscape you
  293. 9:10start to get around here in Malaysia and
  294. 9:12it kind of goes up all the way through
  295. 9:14Thailand into Laos, even up to China,
  296. 9:17right? So, very great guess that. Very
  297. 9:19happy with that. Next one here, new
  298. 9:21small kind of coverage. This is just the
  299. 9:23USA, though. This is made to look like
  300. 9:25Europe, I know, but at the end of the
  301. 9:27day, this road is too American and it's
  302. 9:30more the vegetation here. I can just
  303. 9:32tell. This is sir Appalachian
  304. 9:33wintertime. Uh, Tennessee, um, Georgia,
  305. 9:37South Carolina, North Carolina,
  306. 9:39Kentucky. It's like one of those states
  307. 9:40I mentioned, I'm sure. And of them, I
  308. 9:43may even be tempted by like a
  309. 9:45southwestern pocket of like North
  310. 9:47Carolina, uh, northern Georgia here. I'm
  311. 9:49going to go for the northern Georgia
  312. 9:51shout, actually, cuz it looks like where
  313. 9:52me and Ryley went hiking. I was so
  314. 9:54confident.
  315. 9:56>> [laughter]
  316. 9:56>> I guess the road was a little wrong, but
  317. 9:59wow, the forest looks so American to me.
  318. 10:02No? Like anyone who's from America
  319. 10:04surely can validate that that looks like
  320. 10:05the Appalachians. Maybe some of these,
  321. 10:08uh, trees peaking through here not so
  322. 10:09much. Wow. Well, during the winter
  323. 10:12things can be difficult for sure, but
  324. 10:13that is a hard round. That really looks
  325. 10:15so American. Well, well, it had to
  326. 10:16happen, guys. We had to make that kind
  327. 10:18of fail eventually. Next one here. Um,
  328. 10:21huge blur. What's up with the huge blur?
  329. 10:23I mean, I was not thinking I mean, I was
  330. 10:25not thinking of any low-cam country, but
  331. 10:28what is that blur? That's a very strange
  332. 10:30one. Um, Asia vibes off the vegetation
  333. 10:33to me, but I guess I got to go to Africa
  334. 10:35now. It looks like kind of like a
  335. 10:36Ugandan blur. But no, I don't think so.
  336. 10:39Oh,
  337. 10:40all of a sudden you think you know so
  338. 10:41much about vegetation, but then you get
  339. 10:43around like this and you're like, "Uh,
  340. 10:44really?" Cuz it kind of looks a little
  341. 10:45Mexican, but I don't think this is
  342. 10:46Mexico. I was thinking Sri Lanka off the
  343. 10:49bat, or maybe Cambodia. I don't think
  344. 10:51either of those countries has this blur,
  345. 10:52though. That's the simple truth of it.
  346. 10:54Thailand, maybe. Some kind of feel
  347. 10:57southern, but not able to be told, I
  348. 11:00would say.
  349. 11:01Uh, I'm going to trust the Asian
  350. 11:02vegetation here. I'm going to go
  351. 11:03Thailand, cuz I feel like that is the
  352. 11:05country where I'm getting this blur
  353. 11:07correct would actually be possible.
  354. 11:08Yeah, okay. Let's try. Okay, it was
  355. 11:11what? Kinmen County. It was Asian
  356. 11:13vegetation, and it was a low-cam
  357. 11:16country, cuz you do occasionally get
  358. 11:17this really wide blur in Taiwan. But
  359. 11:19that is so insane for Taiwan. I'm sure
  360. 11:23that if it was panned like this, then it
  361. 11:25the round is just impossible. It's only
  362. 11:27because you could see the blur that you
  363. 11:28could remember this one. That is so
  364. 11:30crazy. Great location. And we end up
  365. 11:32with a uh, 10,800 points score, still
  366. 11:34beating the average, but not by much.
  367. 11:36That was very difficult indeed. Okay,
  368. 11:38next one here, we've got an antenna.
  369. 11:39It's a short antenna.
  370. 11:41The round itself immediately reminded me
  371. 11:44with the extremely pale road and the
  372. 11:46cut-off antenna reminded me maybe of
  373. 11:49Montenegro, kind of coastal Montenegro
  374. 11:51down here towards Shkodër in Albania. We
  375. 11:55do kind of see that the west is pretty
  376. 11:56flat, so I do kind of like it for this
  377. 11:58area. Uh architecture fits. We've got a
  378. 12:00few palm trees, also fits. I think if
  379. 12:02I'm wrong, it's probably just Croatia.
  380. 12:05You know where I could see this being
  381. 12:06with the red soil is up towards Pula. So
  382. 12:08maybe that's actually a better guess,
  383. 12:10cuz Pula has a lot of red soil and I
  384. 12:14think the landscape is also pretty
  385. 12:15similar to when I was there.
  386. 12:172016 copyright though. I feel like
  387. 12:19that's got to be more common in
  388. 12:21Montenegro and I this was the place I
  389. 12:22immediately thought of anyway, so I'm
  390. 12:24just kind of leaning towards it for that
  391. 12:26reason. I feel like the angle of the
  392. 12:27road west-northwest is also really
  393. 12:29common here, so why not? I'm going to go
  394. 12:31for it. But guys,
  395. 12:33I think it's one of the two places I
  396. 12:35mentioned. Okay, perfect, yeah. Exactly.
  397. 12:37The angle of the road was just a bit too
  398. 12:38good there as well, so 2.1 K's away.
  399. 12:41Glad I recognized it. Next one here,
  400. 12:42this is familiar. I feel like I've had
  401. 12:43this round before. Is it one of the
  402. 12:45mountain roads in Cambodia? I think the
  403. 12:47tree mix in the background looks really
  404. 12:49good. I think the house looks decent.
  405. 12:51The blur looks fine as well. Like I'm
  406. 12:54not super confident, in fact the blur
  407. 12:56looks a bit big, which is a bit weird.
  408. 12:59South is kind of south, so that works.
  409. 13:01Yeah, I feel like I just recognized it
  410. 13:03though. I feel like it's one of these
  411. 13:03like mountain roads up here or maybe in
  412. 13:06this pocket here as well. I'm thinking
  413. 13:07it might be one of the north border
  414. 13:09roads, like this one maybe. I'm kind of
  415. 13:11liking it. We could be even be right
  416. 13:12here, like genuinely, but I don't know.
  417. 13:14There's a bunch of these roads with
  418. 13:16similar angles. Well, okay. I'm going to
  419. 13:18try this one, but I'm pretty sure this
  420. 13:20is Cambodia. Oh yeah, that's the 5K. I
  421. 13:23knew I found a pretty good looking bend
  422. 13:25and I have had that round before, I
  423. 13:27think, but it would have been years ago.
  424. 13:30So, I'm still pretty happy with that.
  425. 13:31Okay, next one here. We're on 9,991, by
  426. 13:35the way, after two rounds. That is not
  427. 13:37bad. Okay. Uh we've got a coffee
  428. 13:40plantation. Guys, I'm a bit washed, but
  429. 13:42I think this is coffee. And the sun is
  430. 13:45not helpful. We've got a coconut palm.
  431. 13:48The whole round here, pretty generic.
  432. 13:51This tree, a bit Asian-looking. So, what
  433. 13:54do we want to do here? Maybe this could
  434. 13:56be like Lampung coffee.
  435. 13:59You do get some coffee plantation there.
  436. 14:01Um I could see Philippines working here.
  437. 14:05I could see a southern Brazil. Like,
  438. 14:06whenever you have coffee, you should
  439. 14:07always consider Minas Gerais.
  440. 14:09Um I don't think it's Kenya.
  441. 14:12I don't know. I think it's Asia. But is
  442. 14:14Lampung going to be correct? Probably
  443. 14:16not. Anyway, I'll try it. I'll try it.
  444. 14:17No, it is Brazil, but it's Rondônia.
  445. 14:20That is crazy. Well, I think this one,
  446. 14:23you could definitely get Brazil, but
  447. 14:24good luck getting more than 2,000
  448. 14:25points, cuz like coffee is mostly just
  449. 14:27grown down here in the southeast. What
  450. 14:29the heck? Okay. Well,
  451. 14:3217,900 km away. Pretty pretty difficult
  452. 14:35to guess any further than that, even if
  453. 14:36you tried. So, that's impressive in at
  454. 14:38least in one way. Next one here, we got
  455. 14:41palms galore. Got a Asian-looking road
  456. 14:43here, I want to say. The road looks
  457. 14:45Bangladeshi, if you ask me. Vegetation
  458. 14:48also looks Asian. I feel like it's meant
  459. 14:50to look like Indonesia. But the question
  460. 14:52is, is it actually there? We've got a
  461. 14:54big ditch up to the side of the road
  462. 14:55here. That doesn't really feel as much
  463. 14:57Bangladesh. But it's just the way the
  464. 14:59sand is on the road looks so
  465. 15:00Bangladeshi. I don't know, guys. It's
  466. 15:02Asia. I I would like to say it's at
  467. 15:04least Asia. Maybe Peru or something.
  468. 15:09I don't know. I've been sitting here for
  469. 15:10a while, and I just Nothing's coming.
  470. 15:12Sun kind of looks like it's to the
  471. 15:14north, but it is a cloudy day, so not
  472. 15:16going to put too much stock in that, but
  473. 15:18maybe that would help convince me to go
  474. 15:19Indonesia. Maybe. No, I'm going to stick
  475. 15:21with my guns. I'm going to go Bangladesh
  476. 15:23even though the road kind of feels like
  477. 15:25that's the obvious option, but at the
  478. 15:26same time the landscape not so much. I'm
  479. 15:28going to try it. Man, I was going to go
  480. 15:30Java. We could have had such a good
  481. 15:31score on this seed. And the last one
  482. 15:32here, USA. Yellow center lines. Very
  483. 15:36interesting vibe here. Probably reminds
  484. 15:38me of like a Colorado, New Mexico. These
  485. 15:41pines actually might be European pines.
  486. 15:43I think that's why the bait is here. I
  487. 15:44think the road lines are meant to look
  488. 15:46white because of the sun, but I can tell
  489. 15:49that's an American car. I can tell
  490. 15:50that's an American house and I can tell
  491. 15:52that it's yellow lines, so
  492. 15:54have to be here. New Mexico, Colorado,
  493. 15:58Utah.
  494. 15:59That's my three state shouts here. Let's
  495. 16:01go Colorado. Think it's the most likely
  496. 16:03here. Lake City, Colorado. Okay, it was
  497. 16:05New Mexico again. Apparently, the
  498. 16:07beloved state of this map. Let's try it
  499. 16:08one more time here. 17,000 the score to
  500. 16:11beat or 20,000 if we want to get onto
  501. 16:14the leaderboards. 21,000. This is
  502. 16:15immediately just Turkey with the gray
  503. 16:18car and the poplar tree rows here. And I
  504. 16:21think this is towards Igdir. Can we see
  505. 16:24any mountain? We're looking north and
  506. 16:25it's flat, so that would make sense if
  507. 16:26we're looking onto Armenia. And
  508. 16:29I just feel like this is extremely
  509. 16:30typical of the Armenia border kind of
  510. 16:32population, so yeah, had to be there.
  511. 16:34Very good guess. We started out a bunch
  512. 16:36of seeds with incredible scores. This is
  513. 16:39interesting. So, immediately it was
  514. 16:42Ukraine, but the longer I look the more
  515. 16:44I'm like, is this meant to actually be
  516. 16:46Canada? Because it looks like a dirt
  517. 16:51road. Very straight dirt road in a way
  518. 16:53that looks very Canadian. So, let's
  519. 16:55think about it. If we were Ukraine, we
  520. 16:56would be driving this way, which means
  521. 16:59we would see the back of the car here.
  522. 17:00So, yeah, I think this actually is North
  523. 17:02America surprisingly enough. But
  524. 17:04where? And maybe like a New Brunswick
  525. 17:06shout here could work in my opinion.
  526. 17:08Maybe a Ontario. Very red soil. Probably
  527. 17:11more New Brunswick therefore, like kind
  528. 17:13of looks like Prince Edward Island. I I
  529. 17:15could it ever be Alaska? I think the
  530. 17:16vegetation on the ground kind of makes
  531. 17:18sense, but the trees themselves probably
  532. 17:21look a bit too healthy. And of course,
  533. 17:22it could be the United States elsewhere
  534. 17:24as well, but I don't know. I'm leaning
  535. 17:25towards the Canada shout here. I don't
  536. 17:27feel good about this guess, but I do
  537. 17:28think it's North America. I do think
  538. 17:29even though I initially vibed Europe, it
  539. 17:31shouldn't be there. Oh wow, what a good
  540. 17:33guess. That is very, very nice. Yeah.
  541. 17:35Well, the pinkish soil in Canada
  542. 17:36definitely tends to line up a bit more
  543. 17:38towards this area. And then, generation
  544. 17:40three dirt roads are pretty uncommon in
  545. 17:42the northeast of the US, so wow, that
  546. 17:44was great. We are off to a flyer here.
  547. 17:46Next one. Wow, I mean
  548. 17:49not much going on here. We've got a
  549. 17:50small like canal. We've got grass in the
  550. 17:54middle of the road, very dark soil. Um
  551. 17:582021 coverage, a wheat field here. Okay,
  552. 18:00that's important. So, wheat field, lots
  553. 18:02of wheat in Australia, Argentina,
  554. 18:05Canada, Russia, US. But, with 2021
  555. 18:09coverage, I guess you got to start to
  556. 18:10think about Russia here. My initial vibe
  557. 18:13was actually Argentina though, so I
  558. 18:15don't know what to make of that. Like
  559. 18:16the sun seems to be more to the south
  560. 18:18here. I think that actually is accurate.
  561. 18:20So yeah, we're probably just between the
  562. 18:21US, Canada, and Russia here, I would
  563. 18:24say. It's very dark soil. Like this kind
  564. 18:26of dark soil is super common in Russia.
  565. 18:28And it is 2021 copyright, like I said in
  566. 18:30the Russia round before, it's really
  567. 18:31common there. But, but, but, feel like
  568. 18:33this random tree here and whatever this
  569. 18:35thing is here both feel North American.
  570. 18:38It's about this canal though. Would they
  571. 18:39use that in the United States? May even
  572. 18:42just be Europe for that reason. I don't
  573. 18:43know. I don't know. There's too many
  574. 18:44possibilities here. I'm going to say it
  575. 18:46is Europe, actually, because of the way
  576. 18:48there's no fence here and it kind of
  577. 18:49just becomes wheat. You know, it kind of
  578. 18:51just becomes wheat. It's kind of
  579. 18:52strange. I could see like Belgium or
  580. 18:55Poland or something random, but I will
  581. 18:57go for Russia and I will go in Penza.
  582. 19:01Why not? Hoho, Texas, man.
  583. 19:04I could have gotten it, but I was going
  584. 19:06to go for like North Dakota anyway, so
  585. 19:09yeah, that I not going to go. I think I
  586. 19:10was going to go Montana. That would not
  587. 19:12have gone well for us. Well, it's still
  588. 19:13going to be an extra points, but still.
  589. 19:14Again, the second last one here. This to
  590. 19:16me looks like the south pocket of
  591. 19:18Ecuador or the north pocket of Peru.
  592. 19:20Dirt road generation three coverage,
  593. 19:22kind of wide trees, kind of African
  594. 19:24looking trees.
  595. 19:25Uh hilly landscape. This Yeah,
  596. 19:27especially looks like Tumbes to me, so I
  597. 19:29think I'll just go for it.
  598. 19:31Um yeah. Okay, it was actually on the
  599. 19:33Ecuador inside, but it definitely looked
  600. 19:35like this area, so still pretty happy
  601. 19:37with that score. And the last one here,
  602. 19:38we can beat our initial score if we more
  603. 19:40or less 5K this one. Though that feels
  604. 19:42very difficult because what am I looking
  605. 19:44at? Um
  606. 19:45very American looking road, but I'm I'm
  607. 19:47assuming that's the bait here because I
  608. 19:49think these trees look more European.
  609. 19:51Oh, we have some wind turbines as well
  610. 19:52in the background. So yeah, pretty
  611. 19:53bullish on Europe here. 2019 copyright.
  612. 19:57And we have a bit of fireweed as well.
  613. 19:58That's something I hadn't noticed until
  614. 20:00just now, but this is fireweed, which is
  615. 20:02very suspicious. I mean, actually highly
  616. 20:05suspicious. I mean, maybe it's Canada,
  617. 20:06but to me I guess that kind of puts us
  618. 20:08in Norway or Sweden. 2019 copyright.
  619. 20:11Feel like that's much more common in
  620. 20:12Norway, but it looks more like Sweden.
  621. 20:14So now I'm just confused. Fireweed like
  622. 20:16this, I guess I guess we're on the
  623. 20:18border somewhere or this is something
  624. 20:19crazy. I don't know. I'll go for Norway
  625. 20:21though.
  626. 20:22It was Bornholm. That is so insane. That
  627. 20:25was fireweed. No, I mean, still a good
  628. 20:26score, but was that not fireweed? That's
  629. 20:29crazy. 17,400.
  630. 20:31Another good score. Could have optimized
  631. 20:33it a little bit with the Ecuador, and
  632. 20:35that is not our best score. We narrowly
  633. 20:37miss out on our best score, but still a
  634. 20:38fun session of recording. Honestly, kind
  635. 20:41of popped off on some of these guesses.
  636. 20:43I've still kind of got it, but at the
  637. 20:44same time, some pretty bad ones, too.
  638. 20:46Anyway, let me know what you thought of
  639. 20:47the video. Hope you all enjoyed it. If
  640. 20:49there's any other really hard maps that
  641. 20:50you want to see me attempt, let me know
  642. 20:52about those as well. I'll definitely
  643. 20:53give them a go. And yeah, I'll see you
  644. 20:55guys in a video very soon. Till next
  645. 20:56time, and goodbye.
