Today we're testing our geography knowledge by playing a game where you have to answer geography questions with the most obscure answer that you can think of
0:07
So let's just jump straight into it. Name a country in Asia. Rarer answers carry you farther around
0:12
And I've got 25 seconds. So there's so many options for this. I am thinking, um, Kuwait, Brunei, Timor-Leste
0:20
I might drop the Brunei, I think. Surely that's pretty good. Okay. Oh, that's, that's nice. That's nice
0:25
It's got us to rare, but it didn't get us to, like, super uncommon, huh
0:30
Okay, okay. I'd love to see a list of like the best answers there
0:33
Okay, let's do another one. Name a US state where our answers carry you further
0:38
Okay, US state. This is a little bit more of a tricky one
0:42
Should we try Rhode Island? I don't know what's going to be considered uncommon. Let's try Rhode Island
0:47
Let's go for it. Okay. Yeah, schooler. Solid, the root holds. So that wasn't an amazing answer
0:55
Name a country with at least one active volcano. I want to get back on the board with some really nice answers here
1:01
Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia, Laos? Surely Laos has got some volcanoes. It doesn't
1:08
Okay, I've got 10 seconds. Malaysia it is then. It's not an amazing answer at all
1:12
What? Indonesia. I ran out of time. Oh my God, it's all going wrong
1:17
Name a country where Arabic is an official language. Right, we've got to get back on here with some good answers
1:22
Let's try Djibouti. I reckon that'll be an official language. Yes. Here we go
1:27
Here we go. Still not deep cut. Genuinely uncommon. Nice pull. I want deep cut
1:31
Get me to deep cut. Look at my little shrimp, by the way. He's beautiful, that guy. Oh! Wow
1:37
Name a country that borders the Pacific Ocean. Okay. Samoa. Tonga. Micronesia
1:42
Should we go Tonga? Palau. Let's go Palau. Okay. Come on. Come on
1:49
Why is nothing deep cut? What's a better answer there? I could have said, like, Peru
1:53
Maybe people wouldn't think of... No, I think that's way more obvious than the oceanic countries
1:57
Let's tap our shrimp. Give us some good luck. I'm ready name an archipelago a named group of islands
2:03
Okay, well we've just mentioned let's go Solomon Islands. Yeah, don't want to do that. I think I do. Okay. Come on
2:11
Still just too rare. I want to get better than rare. Okay
2:15
Name a country that shares a land border with Brazil. Okay, so France would be like a trick question here. Should we try France
2:21
Let's do it Okay, okay, go on. Yes still only rare. Not one in a crillion. Not deep cut. So we did all seven. I think that means we
2:30
made it home. Put us here. I was better than 32% of players first time runs on an expedition
2:37
It's not amazing, is it? I want to be like at least 500. But to be fair, the volcano one beat
2:43
me. I didn't submit anything. Right. We're going again. Name an island on the Mediterranean Sea
2:49
An island. So it's not just countries. The trouble is I can't really name any
2:53
Uh, Corsica, Corsica. Is that how it's spelled? Yeah, it is. It's not amazing though
2:59
I think it's probably a better answer than like Malta and Cyprus. Uh, next one
3:04
I'm ready for it. Name an Asian national capital. I'm not going to be able to spell Ponyang
3:11
Um... I can't think of anything. Have I got anything better than Jakarta
3:16
That's not a very good answer. Ulaanbaatar, but I can't spell Ulaanbaatar
3:22
Oh! Oh my god, I actually got it in time. Okay, that's a 60 points, so it's fine, it's good, but it's nothing crazy
3:29
I want a genuinely really good answer here. Name one of Spain's 17 autonomous communities
3:36
I'm sorry, that's something I don't know anything about. Autonomous communities, so like, is La Palma an answer there
3:43
No, it's not. Tenerife, I don't have any answers, I don't know
3:48
That's a skip, sadly. Hopefully we can still make it all the way around. Don't worry, little fella, I'm looking after you, bro
3:52
Name a country that uses the euro. Okay. Um, probably North Macedonia. Let's try it. North
3:57
Macedonia. Let's give it a go. Okay. I'm wrong, but it's okay. We have, we have time. So we'll
4:02
just, we'll just try a few. Montenegro. Let's do that. Okay. We're away. Ooh, that's our first
4:11
deep cut. That's great. True obscurity. Feels a little, oh God, anglerfish. Oh, it feels a little
4:15
bit cheeky though, when I get to have more than one go, but let's just do it. Name an archipelago
4:20
Wait, name an archaeological... Wait, name an archaeological site. Okay. Petra
4:31
Would that work? Let's try it. It does. It's only a schooler, though
4:36
Okay, fair enough, fair enough. Name a peninsula. Can I do any peninsulas
4:43
The... I don't know. South American. Yeah, I can't think of a peninsula
4:49
you know, um, Bay, uh, California. Oh, that actually is one. It's only schooler level. It's
4:57
only schooler. Okay. Fair enough. Uh, name an Australian state or territory. Okay. So we could
5:02
do Victoria. Uh, we could do Tasmania, Queensland, New South Wales, Southern Australia, Southern
5:08
Australia. No. Okay. Uh, Victoria then. There you go. Oh, that's plankton level. Oh, that's a lame
5:18
answer. I mean, there can't have been any rare answers for that one. There's only like five
5:22
possibles. Okay. We actually performed not too bad there. Better than 52% of players first runs
5:27
on exposition number five So we beat half the amount of people Ulaanbaatar was the big fella and Montenegro as well Ooh we actually get breakdowns of all of the other answers Okay so Asian national capital
5:39
so many amazing answers. Ramallah was the 100 then. Nikosir, which is the capital of Cyprus
5:47
right? So because that's considered, I guess, Eurasian, that becomes an acceptable answer
5:52
What's the best Euro answer? San Marino, Andorra, Bulgaria, Kosovo. So we're in the right area
5:58
The San Marino is an interesting one. These are the best peninsulas
6:02
Okay. And finally, Australian Antarctic Territory. Christmas Island. I wasn't even thinking of territories
6:10
even though it literally says territories right there. So I probably could have got, if I'd thought about it
6:15
I could have got Christmas Island. All right. Fair enough. Fair enough. Going again. Name a country in Europe
6:19
Okay. So can we do Kosovo? Because I think that's a good answer. Kosovo
6:23
Yeah, we're taking Kosovo. And it's great. It's deep cut. That's an excellent start. Okay. True obscurity. Few go this deep. Next one. Name a national
6:32
capital beginning with B. So we could do Bern. We could do Berlin. Bern's fine. National capital
6:38
Bratislava's probably a bit better, maybe. Bratislava. Beijing. Bratislava's probably best so far. Yeah, we'll submit it. We'll submit it. Okay. It's a rare. It's a rare. That's not bad
6:50
That's not bad. Next one. Name a country that uses rupee family currency. Okay. I don't have
6:55
too many for here, and I also don't know 100%. We've got Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are my two
7:00
thoughts. I'm gonna try Myanmar, because I can- I can have multiple answers. Okay, so Myanmar's not
7:04
allowed. We'll do a Sri Lanka then. Okay. Skooler. Yeah, I wasn't expecting that to be anything
7:10
special, but we're- we're doing all right here. Name a currency currently used by a sovereign
7:15
country. Okay, so we could have, like, drach- drachma? Is that a bit- would that be right? We could have, um
7:22
Danish Kron. Should we try that? Yeah. It's only Skula. Okay. Name a skyscraper at least 300
7:32
meters tall. Berlin TV Tower. No, just TV Tower. Okay. Space Needle. No. Empire State Building
7:47
Yeah, I was expecting that to be Blankton, but I'd rather be 10 points or no points. Don't know
7:51
many skyscrapers. Name one of Japan's 47 prefectures. Does anyone know what a prefecture is? Okay, we're gonna
7:59
type Osaka. Oh my god, that's actually an answer. I wish I'd thought about that more. I was expecting that
8:05
to be wrong, so I was just typing some Japanese words. We're throwing it away a bit here
8:09
Name a country crossed by the equator. Here we can get a good answer. So Djibouti
8:13
might be around there. I think it's too high. It is. Yeah, it's way too high. Of course it is
8:17
I don't know. We'll stick in Africa though. Can we do Cameroon? No
8:21
We need to go a bit lower. Gambia. Ah, Equatorial Guinea. I don't think that's actually on
8:28
I threw away. I should have just played it a little bit safer and gone like Democratic Republic of
8:32
Congo or something. We did better than 37% of players that time, which isn't amazing. It's okay
8:38
It's kind of like pretty average. So let's look at some answers we could have had. So all of these
8:44
capitals. Bissau. I have heard of Bissau as a capital. It's the capital of Guinea, Bissau. Fair
8:49
enough. Name a country in Europe. Andorra was the best answer, but we did pretty good. We got like
8:54
second best answer. So that's fine. Name a country that uses a rupee family currency. Maldives
8:59
Bhutan, Mauritius, Seychelles. Seychelles. So many. I don't know that much about currencies
9:03
Name a currency used by a sovereign country. Bhutanese. Fair enough. Wow. That's like
9:09
insanely hard. Yeah. These are really, really difficult. Djibouti Frank. Eritrean Nakfa. Oh my
9:15
god name a skyscraper uh do we do we recognize any of these
9:22
no name japan's 47 prefectures isaka actually i'm glad i just got an answer of some degree there and
9:29
then finally seo tome in principe is the best answer gabon republic of the congo so this is
9:34
what i should have just answered if i was trying to play it safe but i was trying to be fancy and
9:38
i just kept going too high and i'm bloody new idea as well right name a country with a coastline
9:44
That's gives us so many options. I'm wondering if Bosnia would be a sneaky one
9:48
but I think maybe people like me would think about it. So we'll skip that. And instead we'll do a Seotome and Principe
9:54
I'm wondering how many I can just answer Seotome and Principe for. Yes, deep cut, 85
10:00
So it's not the best answer, but it's a really good one. Name a national capital in North or South America
10:05
Let's do... Hang on, let me think about this. I could do Quito like that, but I'm not gonna
10:12
Yes, I am. king's town oh oh my god it's unbelievable it's a one in a krillian 100 points the designated gem
10:23
the world turns for you i can't even think right now what king's town's the capital of it just
10:27
popped into my head at the last moment that's magical ah okay we did really good there name a
10:32
mountainous country one with land above 5 000 meters mountainous country um kit verd
10:38
ah it's not a not a correct answer dji booty oh no okay kenya it is i just yeah we got a rare
10:50
just because i i ran out of time name a language with official status somewhere in south america
10:55
right so obviously spanish brazilian dutch for surinam can i think of anything better than that
11:01
Dutch French let go Dutch Okay Dutch looks nah it only schooler it only schooler Next one Name a country that hosted the men FIFA World Cup Country that hosted it I guess
11:16
I can just try a few. Peru, Ecuador. No, we're not time. I'll just go Italy then. It's a terrible
11:23
answer. It's a schooler. I'll take a schooler. Okay. Name a US state entirely west of the Mississippi
11:29
be river. Uh, okay. This one should be okay. Alaska, Hawaii, Utah. Is Utah the best answer
11:35
we can think of? Yeah. Let's just go Utah. Okay. Okay. It's a rare. It's a rare. I'll take that
11:40
All right. How did we do? How did we do? Oh, we've got one more. Name a country that shares a land board with China. Okay. Um, North Korea, Myanmar, Bhutan, Bangladesh. Loads of answers. Myanmar's
11:50
surely pretty good, right? Yeah. I reckon so. Oh, it's nice. Oh, it's only schooler. For some
11:55
reason i must just like the color blue i get really excited when it's like a nice light blue okay uh
12:00
there we go we're actually getting our head around the game a little bit i think the trick is to just
12:05
answer seo tome and prince's bed any opportunity better than 76 of players first runs on exposition
12:10
seven i will take that so country with a coastline iraq was actually the best answer which is
12:15
interesting kingstown is the best answer available so i i did insane that i don't know
12:21
where's kingstown the capital it's the capital of st vincent the grenadines i don't even remember
12:25
where I pulled that from. Mountainous country was a bit of a rubbish one. Kyrgyzstan was the best
12:30
answer. Official language status, lots of places I've not heard of. German, pretty good answer
12:35
though. Name a country that has hosted men's FIFA World Cup. Chile. Ah, I was dabbling around there
12:40
I was going like Paraguay, Ecuador, Peru. I don't think I actually said Paraguay. US state
12:45
North Dakota's the one in a krillian. My goodness me. Okay. And then finally, Tajikistan is the best
12:52
answer for land borders with china yeah i didn't think about any stands all right myanmar actually
12:56
kind of a rubbish answer fun little game this one i'm not gonna lie name a european country with a
13:01
coastline bosnia croatia albania other side we could go do you think san marino's it's no it's
13:08
not it's not okay so in that case bosnia and herzegovina there you go okay oh it's rare we'll
13:17
We'll take it. We'll take it. Not bad. Not bad. Name a national capital in a country where Spanish is the official language
13:23
Um, okay. So maybe Quito? Oh, it's only Skula. It's only Skula
13:29
I thought that was a good answer. Never mind. Name a tectonic plate
13:33
Okay. So Eurasian. Arctic maybe. Oh dear. There's a one just around Turkey
13:39
Turkey's not an answer. Eurasian. I'm going to have to. Yes, that's the one
13:45
Eurasian plate. rubbish answer, but I just couldn't think of anything better. Name a country that uses
13:49
currency called a dollar. So we go maybe Namibia. Wait, Seotome and Principe
13:59
Namibia. Let's go for it. All right. Rare. Not bad. That's fine. That's fine. Name an ancient
14:06
or medieval city or historic ruin. Can I say bath? Oh my God, I can. Okay. I'll take it. I'll
14:13
bloody take it. Name an island in the Caribbean. Okay, um, St. Kitts. Yes, that's the one
14:23
Just school, eh? All right, whatever. Next one, name a country whose English name ends in land
14:29
Oh, there's probably something good here. So, Ireland, Finland. Finland, unfortunately, best answer so far that I can think of. I'm having to go Finland. It's actually a rare
14:40
Okay. All right. So what do we do? Ooh, we're getting better and better each time
14:45
Better than 84% of players. Okay. We did really, really nicely there. I'm very happy with that
14:50
What was the best answer? Monaco. So you can see with San Marino, I was on the right track
14:54
I can't believe just Monaco. It feels cheaty to just spam possible answers
14:58
but I think we're going to give that a go and see if it improves our scores
15:02
We take bigger risks because you could just type random stuff as long as you do it quick enough. Uh, Timor-Leste
15:07
Ah, you little bugger. Yeah, fair enough. Loads of places for medieval cities that I've never heard of
15:13
Islands in the Caribbean, many places I've not heard of. Cat Island. And then Finland was actually best answer
15:20
Finland and Iceland, not many answers there. Right, we're going to start spamming through
15:23
Name a country in Asia or Oceania. So this is the one where it's not really spamming
15:28
It's just thinking of somewhere obscure. So we're going to go Vanuatu, I think. That's red
15:33
Red's rare. I want deep cut, really. I'm kind of, I'm aiming for deep cut
15:37
Name a national capital beginning with M. Okay, so we could go Monaco. We could go..
15:42
I don't know what we could go. Let me think for a moment. Madrid. It's not very good
15:47
Monaco is looking like the answer. Yeah, we'll go for it. It's only schooler. It's only schooler
15:53
Next one, name a country larger than Indonesia. So there's not that many answers. Russia, Mexico
15:58
possibly Mexico. Russia, USA, Canada, Brazil. What's the most obscure there? China as well
16:04
Let's see if Mexico's on there. It isn't. So, Brazil it is. Oh, Plankton? I'm curious there
16:12
There surely can't have been any good answers for that one. Name a country whose flag features a real or mythical animal. Okay, I like that one. So, we could do, like, El Salvador. Take a risk on it
16:22
It's wrong. Nicaragua. Guatemala. Yes. Yes. So, because of the time limit, I wasn't, like
16:31
Thinking about what the flags were I was just trying to name possible answers and just like spam through them
16:35
Guatemala got us a 60 points there What would have been a better answer I sure there loads name a country with course lines on at least two oceans Right Ooh So we kind of need to be going around the Americas maybe Maybe not Maybe Comoros
16:52
Okay. Seychelles? No. Damn it. I ran out of time. See, that's the trouble. If you spend too much
17:00
time spamming silly answers, you get zero points when I could have got an easy 10 points guaranteed
17:05
at least if I just answered USA. Ah, okay. Name a river in Europe. Right. So I could, I could say
17:13
like local rivers to me. I could say like Tyne. I could say Trent. Tyne, surely. Tyne's got to be
17:19
an amazing answer. It's only rare. Interesting. Okay. Uh, name a US state that shares a land
17:27
border with Canada. North Dakota was a, was an answer on the previous one. Dakota. So maybe we'll
17:32
go for that again. Okay. It's a rare. It's a rare. It's not bad. It's not bad. Oh, he's got a little
17:38
lamp out. He's got a little lamp out. Look at that. That's beautiful. All right. How did we do
17:43
Pretty much average. Better than half of the players. So Kiribati was the golden answer
17:48
which I very easily could have said. Lots of classic places. Mbabbain. Oh, if I'd answered
17:53
Mbabbain, that would have been magical. Mbabbain. I had learned Mbabbain. Right. Country lands in
17:57
Indonesia. There's actually way more than I thought. For some bizarre reason, I was thinking
18:02
Indonesia was like top six biggest countries, but it turns out I'm just an idiot and it's like
18:07
it's probably not even top 10. Why did I not answer Algeria? Yeah, I really, I really thought
18:12
Indonesia was way bigger. I don't know why. Nevermind. Name a country whose flag features a
18:16
real or mythical animal. Paraguay. Best answer. Okay. Guatemala's still decent though. Country
18:22
with coastline. Nicaragua. Previous answer was the golden answer there. As if I could have just
18:27
answered anywhere in Central America and gotten really good points and I screwed it up. We're
18:31
running out of time. I got stuck in the Indian Ocean for some reason. Oh, that's so annoying
18:36
that one. River in Europe, tons and tons of answers there. And US State, New Hampshire was
18:41
the best one. But we were up there. We were really up there with the second best possible answer
18:47
Right, let's do one more. Let's do one more. Here we go. Name a country where English is an official language. Okay, so maybe somewhere in Africa and we could go, like, do you think Namibia
18:55
would be on there? Say it's all May in Princeville. It just has to be one official language. Okay
18:59
It's wrong. I got Namibia. It's rare. I was really... I don't think spamming answers is the way forward
19:07
I think it's how you get zero points. Name a South American urban area with more than 1 million people
19:13
South American urban area. I can only name countries. I can't name urban areas
19:17
Sao Paulo. That's all I can really do. It's plankton level stuff
19:23
It's rubbish. Could I have gotten anything better there? I'm not sure I could. Name a country that shares a land board with France, Germany or Italy
19:28
Okay, so it's all so San Marino Should we go for it? Oh
19:34
It's good. It's bloody good. It's deep cut. It's deep cut. The angler fish is back
19:40
Uh name a country that uses currency called peso Suriname No, Guyana just guessing doing a lot of guessing right now saying kits and nevis
19:52
Brazil. Oh my god Argentina. Do I have any answers? Yeah, just Argentina. Okay
19:58
right, next one, name a country with a high speed rail network, high speed rail network
20:05
Japan, South Korea, North Korea, no, South Korea, there's got to be way better answers, Qatar
20:14
okay, South Korea it is, it's schooler, it's schooler, it's nothing special
20:20
name a country, borders the Mediterranean Sea, okay, we can get something good here, I think we go Africa, we go maybe Libya, I just think less people are going to think of Libya
20:28
right? Should we try it? Should we bloody try it? Let's do it. Let's do Libya. It's only schooler
20:34
Name a country in the European Union. Rarer answers carry you farther round. Name a country
20:40
in the European Union. San Marino. I love it. It's wrong. It's bloody wrong. Okay. Monaco then
20:48
Monaco's not in the European Union. Andorra. Andorra will be. You're joking me
20:52
I got Spain at the last moment. Why did I not go into the Balkans anyway
21:01
Not an amazing performance there. I let myself down. Let's break it down
21:06
So Burundi, best answer for English. So many answers, obviously, for urban areas
21:12
Slovenia, the golden answer. And Andorra would have been good as well, but mine was good
21:17
Mine was good. Chile is the peso. I spent a lot of time on not Spanish countries for some reason
21:22
not Spanish-speaking countries, but I absolutely should have done. High-speed rail network, Uzbekistan would have been an amazing answer
21:29
Borders countries, so I thought Libya would be all right. Bosnia. Ah, so Bosnia is a good answer for coastline-related stuff
21:36
Palestine's obviously an amazing answer. Slovenia, I wouldn't have really ever thought of
21:41
Syria. Yeah, I thought that I was doing something special with my Afrikas
21:46
Turns out, I totally was not. And then finally, European Union. Let's try and think of a good answer here
21:52
I'm just going to go with the Romania. I think it's clearly a better answer than Spain
21:56
Yeah, there's Romania. So I would have got twice as many points, but best answers were Malta
22:01
Oh my God. I could have just said Malta and got on a juicy 100 points
22:05
All right. That was Krillian. I could easily play way more of this. If you want to see me do so, then all you have to do is click that like button, click
22:12
that subscribe button, show some support in the comments and I'll absolutely do it
22:16
All right. Thanks a lot. I'll see you later. Goodbye
