Today we are continuing to learn everything geography related
0:03
Island Nations, mountain ranges, deserts, multiple capitals, US states, borders, Russia. Also, you might have just heard a girl laugh
0:10
That's weird. Oh, there's a sneeze. That's because I've turned sound effects on and distraction modes
0:15
So we'll see how long we leave it before I turn that back off. Let's try and do a cool diagonal thing
0:21
Oh, look at tomato. Yeah, we'll start with Island Nations. Find the country whose capital is Shr-Jar-Jar-Ward-Napura
0:28
Uh, that is Sri Lanka, right? I believe I know that, yeah. Columbo is also an acceptable answer, though
0:34
so I think that's the one that I'm gonna try and learn. Yeah, fair enough. Stop sneezing
0:38
Right, that's getting turned off. That is so irritating. It's fine if, like, every two minutes there was a meh-meh
0:43
but it's just sneezing every four seconds. What's that about? All right, Mountain Rangers, $400
0:47
Find the Alps on a globe. Ah, we can find the Alps on a globe. We know that one, all right
0:52
Deserts for $600. Quite a bit of money. Let's see how we get on
0:56
Which description best matches the Patagonian desert? Patagonia, yeah. Southern Argentina extending into Chile
1:04
There you go. Whoa, look at that big dog. There he goes
1:10
Patagonian desert. Wow. So it's always back again. So weird. So I, if I was trying to visualize Patagonia
1:17
I would have said it was like this bit and maybe it is, but this is the Patagonian desert
1:22
So that would be fine. That makes sense. Okay. Now when I'm playing Jiu Gessa, people are constantly telling me how I'm clicking the wrong areas of these countries and it makes no sense
1:31
So hopefully this will help. Alright, multiple capitals for $800. Quite a lot of money
1:36
Name all of Bolivia's capital cities. Alright, we've got, is La Paz one
1:40
La Paz is one. And then I've heard of the other one. Is it, is it Sucra
1:46
Oh, look at us go! Oh my god, that's magical. That is absolutely magical
1:51
So I think Sucra is considered like the primary one. It's interesting, you know, when push comes to shove, we have randomly picked up just extra little bits of knowledge
1:59
because I've never made an effort to learn Sakura, but it's in there apparently. All right, U.S. states on a map for $1,000
2:04
Where is Arkansas? Hmm, I think it's that one. I always get Arizona and Arkansas mixed up
2:13
So Arizona, yeah, that makes sense. And then Arkansas is just over from Texas
2:19
Okay, fair enough, fair enough. Should we do the big dog one
2:23
Nah, let's leave that. Let's start over here now and we'll do another diagonal. That's the Ukrainian flag. That's easy
2:28
Where is New Mexico? That's the one I can do. New Mexico is right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay
2:34
Uh, which of these names all of Sri Lanka's capital cities? There you go. That's fine. That's fine. It's not two different cities, is it
2:42
It's just the same place with a more westernized name. I assume i'm kind of just clicking
2:47
Chaotically at this point. Let's just keep that up. Let's go over here. Which country does this flag belong to
2:52
That's Ireland, of course. Wait for it. There you go. I was worried for a moment I was going to get it wrong and it would have been Ivory Coast
2:58
but I remember that the green is the first one. All right, let's go down here. We're doing a crisscross
3:02
Find the Caucasus Mountains on the globe. Caucasus. And there's a tomato there
3:07
Caucasus. I don't know that. Let's go here. Oh, that was lucky
3:11
That was a complete guess, by the way, between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. What I'm also going to start doing is Googling pronunciations when I hear a new word
3:19
so that I can just get it right off the bat. Caucasus. Caucasus. So I pretty much had it. That's pretty much acceptable. It's the Caucasus mountain range at the bottom of Russia. Okay, that's fine. That's fine
3:28
Whoa, look at him go. Okay, next one. Find Great Victoria Desert on the globe. We know that one. We learned that one last time
3:36
Right in the corner. Click roughly where Bahrain is located. This is a thousand dollar question, by the way, but we got this in the bag. It's just that one, right
3:43
Yeah. I know distracting me with a big globe. Let's go over here
3:48
Name the country whose flag is shown. That is Kazakhstan. And I'm just, yep, that's Mongolia
3:53
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Any more crisscrosses to create? Find the Sahara Desert
3:57
Not even zooming in, mate. Don't even worry about it. Let's go multiple capitals
4:01
Click the country whose capitals are Pretoria, Cape Town. And I was pronouncing this wrong
4:06
Blum 14. Blum 14. That is South Africa. Blum Fontaine. Blum Fontaine
4:12
So I was definitely saying it totally wrong last time and still kind of wrong this time
4:17
Bloemfontein. Pretoria, Cape Town, Bloemfontein. Okay, let's try. We've got a lovely little symmetrical thing going on if we can do this, which is Norway
4:26
That's easy. We got all the flags locked in. US states on a map
4:30
Nevada. Right, right, right. I don't want to get it mixed up with Nebraska. I think it's this one
4:35
That's Arizona. Ah, that's Utah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was thinking that was Utah
4:41
We'll have to go again on that. We've got some nice kind of symmetry going on. It's now just chaos
4:45
I think we'll just work our way through them. I'm just going to click space bar. Which of these is the flag of the Philippines
4:50
That's fine. Name the capital of Seotome and Principe. Uh, I wouldn't know
4:53
I would guess it's probably Seotome though. Yeah, okay. That's very rude, actually
4:58
So capital of Seotome and Principe is Seotome. I love it when it's like that
5:02
Capital of Luxembourg. Luxembourg City. Capital of Monaco. Just Monaco. Perfect. More of them, please
5:06
Weak spot detected. By the way, despite what I've heard, you actually smell fine
5:11
Okay. I know this. Yurvan is the capital of Armenia. I learned that last time
5:16
I know that. I know that. That's fine. That's in there. Don't worry about it. Find the Andes. There you go
5:21
Andes are huge. Look, they extend longer than I thought they would. Wow. Crazy. Which description best matches the Trans-Antarctic Mountains
5:28
Dividing East and West Antarctica. It's got to be, hasn't it? Trans-Antarctic Mountains
5:33
Down there. Look at that. Fair enough. Find the Great Escarpment on the globe
5:38
So another big fat mountain range. Um Great escarpment What would that be Should we try down here Let try it Ah see we just I just kind of going off the words and trying to work out it a cliff system ringing south africa on three sides i literally never heard of it great escarpment should we have a look at a little picture of it so look at that it kind of
5:57
beautiful isn't it wow that's gigantic all right we're just flying through them which description

10:10
people like saying I need to learn a few more cities because I could see words like these in
10:14
Jugehser rounds and even if I couldn't like just pull them from my brain and be like hey Jack
10:18
What's the capital of Esotini? Oh, it's Mbappéin or Le Bomba At least I could maybe read this on a sign in Jugehser and then remember that that is Esotini and then like be straight on it
10:26
Okay, we need to get all of them. Where is Nevada? It's there
10:32
Why do I what am I doing? Where is Nevada? It I've forgotten again
10:43
Where is Nevada? Why why is my brain doing that? All right, Nevada. There's a V in Nevada. That's kind of a V shape, isn't it
10:51
Very V shaped in fact, that was crazy. Let's do a new board. We'll go again
10:54
And we're just gonna try and go quick look at Florida. Okay, I can do that
10:58
Look at Indiana working our way down. Indiana is I think it's that one. Yes

12:35
Weddle C. This is a little curvy little Weddle. That's all that reminds me of. Look at that. It's Weddell and all over the place
12:40

13:13
I think I want to go here. Ah, ooh. Well, the Bahamas are much bigger than I kind of realized
13:20
Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas. I chose St. Kitts and Nevis like an idiot
13:25
Bahamas are big and far more northerly. So I've got to just think about like lots of Florida people going on holiday in the Bahamas
13:31
That's a realistic thing to visualize, isn't it? Weak spot detected. The Mojave Desert, of course
13:37
One of your misses. Okay, it's all right. I'm fine with it. In the country's flag is shown, South Africa
13:42
Find the country's capital is Ouagadougou. Ouagadougou, we concluded was Burkina Faso, right
13:50
Oh, that just sounds amazing. Should we get a pronunciation check? Wagadougou
13:57
Wagadougou. The trouble is, if I pronounce it Wagadougou, I'm never going to be able to spell it right
14:01
because I'm never going to be able to remember that. Wagadougou. Oh, it sounds so good though, doesn't it
14:06

Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia. Not going to remember that just yet. Estonia's flag
14:41
That's a new board. We got 93%. That's our best board we've ever had. Let's review our top answers
14:45
Click roughly where Utah is located. So that's nevada utah's the one next to it weird how much I struggled about locate bahamas
14:52
Well, all those florida people are having a lovely vacations over in the bahamas. Look at that bahamas has got so much to it
14:59
I want to go to the bahamas. All right We're gonna do one more new board in this video, but this is just so satisfying to like fly through isn't it
15:05
I like mixing it up So let's just do from easiest to hardest and we'll just keep working our way around find the country's capital is luxembourg
15:12
Well, that of course would be luxembourg. There you go What? Find the country whose capital is Luxembourg
15:19
Did I click on? I clicked on. Let's just start. And I said silly and everything. They're similar shapes, aren't they
15:24
So when I'm not really thinking, because I'm being a cocky little moron, I zoomed in the wrong spot
15:29
That's an embarrassing start. Find the country whose capital is Ashgabat. Okay
15:33
I do not know this. I'm just going to click there. Okay. It's Turkmenistan, Ashgabat
15:37
A Turkmen carpet catches fire and fills an Ashgoblet. Turkmenistan, Ashgoblet, Ashgabat
15:44

16:04
We're not even noticing these anymore. Find the US state whose capital is Salem. That one, I've no idea
16:10
Salem witch trials, I think, happened over here. So we'll just try one of them. Okay, well, I am totally wrong

16:31
Similar flag designs. Smash through these. Don't even have a problem. World rivers
16:36
Rio de la Plata. I would probably just guess down here. Ah, they're two different rivers
16:42

16:50
Caspian Caspian Sea Caspian Sea it must be here Yeah, there's this large inland sea east of the
16:58
Caucasus. Yeah, for some reason Caucasus didn't stay in my head from the previous board find the US state's capital is

Don't know Let's go. Oh, I was close. The ob river is a west siberian river source in the alt-high mountains
17:42
Try and remember the shapes the letters kind of uh a resemblance of the angle of this. Yeah, that makes sense find the coral sea
17:49
Sounds nice. I have no idea though. Probably lots of coral there. Ah, coral sea. Right, that's easy to remember because the Great Barrier Reef is around there
17:57
There's tons of coral, so that's fine. Which is the capital of Kentucky? Frankfurt, Kentucky, Pierre, Kentucky, Santa Fe, Kentucky, Providence, Kentucky
18:04
I don't know. I'm gonna go with Providence. Frankfurt. It is Frankfurt. Okay, Frankfurt, Kentucky
18:09
Lots and lots of mistakes. This is a hard board for me. But I'm not too bothered when I've got a mistake
18:13
I'm not trying to like dwell on it because I'm thinking it's just gonna teach me. We don't really need to worry about it. We just need to get to the teaching bit
18:19
find kazakhstan on the map that's okay uh similar flag designs iraq world rivers yen is a yen is a
18:29

19:01
spangled where is maryland it's the big one right is it this one oh what oh that's main i always get

19:34
Could be down here. Got Lake Milan. We all know that one
19:37
If we go up here. Okay. We were kind of close. Russia again
19:41
We've got a lot of Russia here. World's deepest lake in Southern Siberia. Crazy, isn't it
19:45
Like, you know, obviously that's absolutely ginormous, but deepest lake you would think would be maybe one of the big dogs that are over here
19:51
Okay, fair enough, fair enough. And our final one here, where is Iowa? I'm not going to get this
19:56
I think it's roughly here. I think it might be square. I'm just going to... Well, we boarded it
20:00
Right, so 57%. So we got nearly half of them wrong, but that's fine because now we review them all and we have a great time
20:06
Okay, so this is an easy one to fix. Luxembourg is obviously there. I would have got that most times. Uh, country whose capital is
20:12
Ashgabat was Turkmenistan. Now, can I find Turkmenistan? I think it's that one
20:18
Okay, that's fine. Find the US state whose capital is Salem. That's Oregon. Because this is
20:22
Washington, then that's Oregon. So that's fine. Rio de la Plata is, excuse me, is this little
20:28
sneaky fella. Not to be mixed up with the one above it. US state, capital of Cheyenne was
20:34
Cheyenne was Wyoming. I don't know where Wyoming is. Ah, bordering again
20:41
So tricky when they're just completely square like that. Which description best matches the Ob River

Those hints are handy. I'm going to use them next time. The US state that has the capital of Frankfurt is Kentucky
21:10
I love it when it's just like really trying to help you out getting stuff staying in your head
21:14
What is the capital of Kentucky? See, this is just so, so useful for learning
21:19
It's Frankfurt, of course. There you go. Back to the board. Find Yenese
21:24
That I have no memory of, but I think it was Russia because it felt like they all were
21:28
So let's go there. It's the middle one. Which description best matches the great slave lake
21:32
Largest lake in Tallinn, Canada. large lake world's deepest lake south of great bear lake yeah uh look at maryland so maine and
