What are these maps about? The blank still in operation by European country
0:05
Then we've got a map of Europe and we can see in the UK it says Oxford and then presumably a date which is 1167
0:12
I know exactly what this is. This has got to be the oldest university so I assume that's the text that is missing
0:18
Let's find out. Yes, we got the first one. But presumably as this video progresses the maps will get a little bit harder so stay tuned
0:25
Let's see how many you can get. Oh, okay. Blank in each highlighted area. This is a one where I don't immediately know it
0:33
That's Brazil, right? Yeah. I'm trying to think what this would be. I am assuming it's probably
0:38
something to do with population because people just often live along rivers or coastlines. So
0:44
I assume these two colors equate to an equal number of people, but obviously this area of
0:49
Brazil, everyone's just so much more spread out. A lot of it's the Amazon rainforest, etc
0:53
try. So what would the text be? Two colors of equal population in Brazil. Something like that
0:58
Let's find out. The same number of Brazilians live in each highlighted area. Yeah, that's way better
1:03
than what I said, but I still get the point. That's a ding, ding, ding. All right, we're two for two. This is going well. Next one. The blank, blank, blank, blank, blank. Okay. So we have a big old
1:15
line. This is 4,600 miles. And what would it actually be equating to? I'm assuming it's a
1:22
straight line and it's obviously just curved because of the map but what's the straight line
1:26
of maybe like a railway but no it's not gonna be a railway we've got like possibly the most
1:32
westerly point in alaska although i don't think it is i think that's probably down here but maybe
1:36
with the curve of the earth maybe it is and then we have is that the most southerly point of mexico
1:40
wait no i think i've just worked out what it is is it the longest uninterrupted area of land maybe
1:46
it's something to do with that because there's no ocean anywhere here right and it just manages to
1:50
avoid the Gulf of Mexico down the bottom. So I'm going to assume it's the longest uninterrupted
1:56
piece of land in North America? Or do we think it's on the earth? I think like across Russia
2:01
would beat that, right? Maybe not though. 4,682, that's a really long way. I'm going to say in
2:07
the world because I think that's a more interesting map. So let's say the longest piece of uninterrupted
2:12
land mass in the world. Let's go with that. The longest straight line you can walk in the Americas
2:17
Ah, yeah, okay. We'll say that's a disqualification. I was on the right track, but I went the wrong route
2:22
But yeah, it was literally just that you could technically walk all of this if you wanted to because you wouldn't have to get in a boat or anything
2:28
Yeah, I overcomplicate that one. Never mind. Never mind Percentage of population which speaks blank blank blank blank blank
2:33
Hmm, okay. So there's a lot of blanks here. We've got a blank there We've got a load of blank here and then we've even got some blank at the bottom estimated share of speakers including native and second language users
2:45
this must just be German. So this is Germany and then these are countries that speak a lot of
2:51
German. Yeah. So 95% of Germany speak German. 68% of Luxembourg speak German. That sounds about
2:56
right. 18% of Belgium. Yeah, I suppose. 92% of Liechtenstein and 98% of Austria. I think it's
3:03
got to be just percentage of population which speaks German. So let's go for that. Yeah
3:07
there we go. Where is German and official language? Estimated share of speakers
3:11
including native and second language users. I can speak a teeny tiny bit of German, so I should go
3:16
to some of these countries, shouldn't I? Because I might actually be able to understand a little bit
3:20
and actually do a bit of mingling. The only one of these I've been to is Germany, and that was like
3:24
two weeks ago. But I did make a vlog, which will be out in October on Jack's Looks Alive. A section
3:28
of Manhattan, New York, but the dots are blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Hmm. Okay, so whatever
3:33
the dots are, there are a lot of dots. They're almost everywhere. It gets a bit thinner in certain
3:38
areas here. They're not in parks, which is interesting. So what could the dots be? They
3:41
could be bus stops, but that would be ridiculous. There is no need for that many bus stops. They
3:45
could be bins. They could be trees. I think they're trees because the color would make sense
3:52
It concerns me slightly that there's not more in this bit, but maybe that's, yeah, if we look at it
3:57
maybe that's a baseball field or something. And then that's an actual park, which is obviously
4:01
full of trees. It's got to be trees. A section of Manhattan, New York, but the dots are trees
4:05
And I'm sure I've seen a Rainbolt video where he says that there is like an incredibly detailed New York tree database
4:12
So I'm gonna go with trees. Yes, we got it. Thank God I didn't say bus stops
4:16
Yes, I think the different colors are because all of the trees are like specifically recorded
4:21
So we know the specific type of tree as well. I wonder how many people have collaboratively worked on that because that is an insane amount of data
4:27
Okay, we're so far doing quite well. We've only got the one wrong. What blank would look like if blank by two meters
4:33
Hmm, yeah, so this is the Netherlands. We've got the UK over here
4:38
This has got to be sea level related. So what the Netherlands would look like if sea levels rose by two meters
4:45
I assume that's what the answer is, but I'm concerned that instead of Netherlands
4:49
it like Northern Europe or something but I think it centered around the Netherlands So I going to go with Netherlands Let have a look What the Netherlands would look like if sea levels rise by two meters I said rose but we accept both on this channel
5:01
Countries which end with the suffix blank in the Persian language. Okay, so we have an interesting selection here
5:09
We've got India. We've got Pakistan. We've got Afghanistan. We've got Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Poland, France, England specifically
5:19
just to name a few. Countries that end with the suffix blank in the Persian language. So
5:24
it's going to be like, I actually don't know. So, like, the word stan at the end of Afghanistan
5:30
that is, I suppose, a suffix, if I'm understanding that correctly. It's like, what the word ends with
5:36
What would England end with? I don't think I'm going to get this one. The only thing I can think
5:40
of is stan, because I'm just trying to go Persian-related, and I don't think that is Persian-related
5:45
but it's not that far from what was persia i'm just gonna say stan but i think i'm wrong
5:49
oh i got it countries that end with the suffix stan in persian languages so what's england
5:54
in persian engelstan fair enough makes sense the path of blank for the 2026 blank uh nothing's
6:02
immediately coming to me i'm a bit concerned so let's just think about it we are going from or to
6:07
spain and then like this area area of russia i don't know is it something about the arctic circle
6:14
But that doesn't really make sense going all the way down to Spain. I'm trying to look at the actual, like, pixelation
6:19
And that kind of looks like a P. But I feel like that might be reading into something
6:24
It actually looks like an SP here and an SP there. The path of Spur for the 2026 Spur
6:31
That is Spain. So I am going to assume maybe it is the word Spain or Spanish or something
6:36
Like, this also kind of looks like it says ish. If we're working on how to run the pixels, that would be ridiculous
6:41
But we may actually be about to. But what's happened in 2026 in Spain
6:46
No, I don't know. The path of Spain for the 2026 Spanish
6:51
That doesn't make any sense. What could it be? Some kind of like organized event
6:55
like, you know, carrying the torch somewhere, the Olympic torch. Obviously that doesn't make sense
7:01
with taking it right around the Arctic. I don't know. I think I might just have to give up on this one
7:05
The path of Spain for the 2026 Winter Olympics. See, that wouldn't even fit in there anyway
7:12
None of this makes sense. We're just going to accept we don't have that one. Okay
7:17
I should definitely not try and read the pixels. That does not help, it turns out
7:22
The path of totality for the 2026 solar eclipse. Okay, I don't know what totality means
7:28
Totality means whole complete amount or state of being totally complete. Okay, so they're claiming that if you were in this area of Spain
7:36
you would be able to see the eclipse that was earlier this year 100% perfectly
7:40
Whereas, uh, if you're in England like I was, I got to see the eclipse, but maybe it wasn't a 100% eclipse
7:46
Maybe it was like off by a percent or something. So yeah, that one feels pretty obvious now I've seen it
7:50
It was clearly not some kind of man-made route, like an Olympic torch route, because look at the locations
7:55
This makes no sense. But I didn't know. Countries Jack Blank. Oh God
8:00
Okay, so this is something to do with me. It's definitely not countries that I have visited, because there are loads of countries
8:07
You know, I've never been to Africa, but we've got tons here. I've never been to South America. Let's try and get our head around the countries
8:13
It's a lot of well-known ones. We've got Brazil, we've got Argentina
8:18
There's a few sneaky ones though. You've got like Panama and Costa Rica and Senegal as well
8:23
My first instinct was maybe it's countries that Jack was able to name the first time he tried to name all the countries
8:30
But I just feel like I probably wouldn't have got Senegal. Maybe I would, you know, because Jack from 2020, he used to really enjoy watching the quiz show Pointless
8:39
and I do feel like Senegal popped up there quite a bit. I'm gonna go with that
8:43
So we've got Philippines, New Zealand, Australia. I'm gonna say this is countries that Jack was able to name
8:49
the first time he tried to name all of the countries. Let's go for it. Yes, his first attempt at naming all 197 countries
8:55
We managed 76 out of 197 on your first attempt back in 2021
8:59
Okay, we got it. I'm quite pleased with that. Lovely bit of extra trivia at the bottom there as well
9:03
Thank you, Other Jack. Other Jack's the guy who puts these kind of videos together. Do you know what
9:07
I think 76 is a decent first attempt. That could definitely be worse. It's not even half because it's missing all of these sneaky guys like around the Caribbean
9:15
but it's not too bad. Roman blank found around the world. Okay, so there's quite a few in India, which is interesting
9:22
Roman blank. So it could just be Roman ruins. It could be Roman coins
9:29
I think it's probably Roman coins. It feels like though, the word is too long for coins
9:34
What else could it be? it could be like roman forts roman ruins roman castles roman roads i think it's gonna be coin
9:42
related but i think there another word roman gold coins found around the world that a lot of coins though isn it But there going to be way more coins than there would be roads or castles or ruins
9:54
It would be a little bit more spread out. So it has to be something small, basically
9:58
is what I'm thinking. So I'm going to go with coins. I reckon I'm not quite right, but we will see. Oh, no, no. Yeah, we're accepting that. Coin hoards. Okay. So by hoard
10:06
it just means like you might have had a little bug that included a few bits from the Roman era
10:10
mainly coins but there might have also been like bits of jewelry or buttons or fabrics that sort
10:15
of stuff okay yeah we're taking that one next up names of european countries in blank and blank
10:21
oh okay so we have three for every country but we only have two blanks so blank and blank so maybe
10:31
it's like blank comma blank and blank now the kind of the clue here normally would be to find
10:37
the default one, but I don't know if I can do that. So maybe it, maybe it's these. So we have one
10:43
two, three, four, five, right. No, they're just too small. So they've been put up here is my
10:48
assumption. Oh my God. I don't know. I've no bloody idea. What could this be? So it's
10:52
it's clearly another language. And does the red, blue, and green mean something? I feel like it
10:57
probably does. So yeah, it could just be names of European countries in Estonian, Latvian
11:02
and Lithuanian. I feel like we need to pick three countries that have a bit of a link to each other
11:06
So Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania would be a good one. We could also potentially do
11:12
No, I was gonna say like English Gaelic But that doesn't make sense because I think we would we would recognize the English one
11:17
Do these sound Estonian Latvian and Lithuanian? It could also be Norwegian Swedish and Finnish. I don't think I'm right
11:24
I just can't think of another answer. So i'm gonna go with Estonian Latvian and Lithuanian
11:28
Chinese Korean and Japanese for whatever reason I didn't think outside of Europe and that was obviously stupid looking at the words now
11:35
Yeah, you can definitely see the Chinese in particular with the red
11:39
But I think you're unbelievably thrown off by it being written in Latin
11:43
Which obviously, you know, makes sense for us wanting to be able to read it out
11:46
But yeah, that is definitely wonder if we did not get never mind Access to blank in blank
11:54
Okay, so let's just have a look around so more developed countries like South Africa and then these countries in northern Africa
12:02
It's very very high percentages high 90s Whereas countries more impoverished, like South Sudan, it's down to 1%
12:09
So it's going to be something wealth-based. So it could be something like internet
12:13
It could be something like water. Probably one of those two. Like what else generally is there by proportion of the population
12:20
It's also blue with a bit of a green tint. So that would be a bit more water related
12:25
Access to water. But would access to water be so high in places surrounded by mainly Sahara Desert
12:31
I guess so because the population isn't going to be directly in the Sahara Desert
12:35
So maybe it still works. Access to... What's... Hang on, because there's two blanks
12:39
Access to... Ah, well, this will be Africa. So maybe it could be access to clean water in Africa
12:45
Access to internet in Africa. I think we should change to internet
12:49
I just feel like the word internet fits there better. Yeah, I'm going to go with internet
12:53
It could be something totally different. We're on track. We're in the right area
12:57
Obviously, electricity. I couldn't think of another sort of thing like water and internet, but electricity is the third
13:04
one. So I guess we got that wrong, which is sad, but we weren't too far away. Every blank in Britain
13:09
and Ireland. Hmm. Every blank in Britain and Ireland. It's got to be rivers, right? Every
13:15
river? Would that fit? It looks a little bit short. It also could be road. I think road would be denser
13:21
and I'm curious about the colour cords. It looks water related, doesn't it? The way that it's
13:27
kind of spreading outwards like this. I think I'm going to go with every river. I think road would
13:31
be way denser. I don't understand the colours though. I suppose it could just be like, this is
13:35
the River Trent. This is the River Tyne. Yeah, it's got to be rivers. Let's find out. Every river in
13:41
Britain and Ireland. Yeah, I was in danger of talking myself out of something that was quite
13:45
obvious there, but fortunately we did not. Modern countries containing places or peoples mentioned
13:50
in. I think I just immediately know this one. I'm pretty sure it's just the Bible. I think that would
13:56
make sense with the bible kind of being written around this area and then people spreading out and
14:01
what people knew about the world when it was written so it's got to be the bible yes there we
14:07
go beautiful beautiful how to say blank in different european languages okay so it is english because
14:13
england and ireland are blocked out oh sorry united kingdom and ireland are blocked out so this is
14:18
quite a fun one because i'm very terrible at language can i work this out do i recognize any
14:25
How to say blank in other European languages? So we have Okno, Vickno, Pensere
14:32
I need to be looking around like France. Fenetra. Oh, Spain. Ventana
14:37
It not a common word because I don recognise any of the translations Um logs That not my answer I just seen the word logs I genuinely don know Finster
14:48
Fenster. Is it something that begins with F? I think probably. In Welsh, it begins with F
14:53
And in Gaelic, it begins with F. So, what's a word that begins with F that would make an interesting map
15:00
Um, how to say finished? That's just a bit boring. How to say fallopian
15:05
It's a little specific. I'm going to say fungi. If it's fungi, I'm going to go mental
15:09
It's window. Fair enough. You win this one. There's a disputed area of around 180 meters squared between blank and blank
15:18
Okay, I think fortunately I recognize this map. That is the northern outline of Vatican City, right
15:25
Yeah, I'm pretty confident. So it's going to be between Italy and the Vatican or between the Vatican and Italy
15:31
When I went to the Vatican, I stood pretty much around there. I did not realize that this was a disputed area
15:37
That's cool. Okay. Let's take a look. Yeah, we got it. We bloody got it. Very, very nice. Very nice
15:42
The only places blank live in the world. Ooh. Okay. So it is going to be an animal, of course
15:49
It's going to be an animal that likes it in the cold. So we have penguins, but I believe penguins
15:53
definitely live in Antarctica. We've also got polar bears. And I think polar bears is a pretty
15:59
logical answer, but I'm just trying to think of any others, like Arctic wolves, for example. We
16:04
could, we could go Arctic Wolf. I think you're going to have wolves dipping into more of Siberia
16:09
more of Russia. So it's got to be polar bears. Yes, it is. Don't overthink it. Sometimes you
16:15
got to just go with it. The 7,000 rivers that feed into the blank. Uh, this for me is another
16:21
easy one. It's very fascinating though. That's crazy to think about because that is a huge
16:27
huge colossal area and a lot of riverage as well. Let's just point that out. But this down here is
16:32
the Mississippi River and this is Mississippi so it has got to be the feed into the Mississippi
16:37
yeah there we go famous river the location is basically right there for us so that was a bit
16:42
of a giveaway map of Jack blank blank blank blank blank oh another custom map as of 2022
16:50
so I'm just trying to think we have India's quite high and then a lot of western countries are high
16:57
Indonesia's high I think I know what this is back in 2022 I did a video where I looked at the
17:03
ytics on the Jack's looks at geography channel and we determined where all of my viewers were
17:07
from the fact that this is in the millions I think is going to be about watch time but maybe it is
17:12
just views yeah where people have watched my videos map of Jack's audience demographics on
17:17
Jack's looks at geography is what I assume it's very common for UK Canada Australia New Zealand
17:24
and India to be really high. I can remember also being surprised about Indonesia
17:28
which once again, that's in the five mil plus. So yeah, it's gonna be about where my videos
17:32
have been watched. And there it is, map of JackSucksAtLife views per country. Oh, it's actually the JackSucksAtLife channel
17:37
rather than the JackSucksAtGeography channel. I should do that video again, seeing as it's been a few years
17:41
and we'll do it specifically for JackSucksAtGeography. That's an amazing spread though
17:45
It's pretty fascinating, isn't it? Just like the fact that we've actually had people
17:49
from Ghana, people from Tanzania, people from tiny little places like Qatar
17:55
They've all watched the videos at some point. It's just kind of mind-blowing, isn't it? And that was a really good map too
18:00
The view of Earth with the blank, blank, blank, blank, blank. Hmm
18:05
The view of Earth with the... Is it just gonna be like the name of the thing that took the photo
18:11
That's kind of what I'm assuming because that's obviously a real image, which is amazing because we can actually see so many countries
18:17
portrayed exactly how they are on maps, which is just like fascinating to get to see. What's the caption going to be? The view of Earth with that. See, if it was like the view of Earth
18:24
taken, that would make sense. But with those a bit confusing. The view of Earth
18:30
I don't know. Could it be like the view of Earth with the clearest or like the view of Earth with
18:35
the lowest amount of visible cloud coverage? Something like that. I don't know. The view of
18:40
Earth with the entire human population in frame. Something like that. Yeah, I don't know it. I guess
18:47
I'm going to submit is something about, um, the, the camera or the location that this image was
18:52
taken. The view of earth with the largest fraction of its land area on the planet visible at once
18:58
Okay. Fair enough. I absolutely did not get that one. So it was about the perspective of earth
19:02
like which side we're actually looking at. So if you had taken this from the other side
19:06
it would basically be all blue because it would just be the Pacific ocean. So that's really fascinating to get to see, but I did not get to receive the point. Very sad. And that's it. Oh
19:15
No, you can't end me. Oh, I was so sad. What a disappointing end
19:19
I ruined it for the end of the video. Now we're all going to leave just feeling a little bit deflated
19:24
All right. I really enjoy doing these. What are the map videos? So if you enjoy them as well, please do show your support and I will absolutely keep doing them
19:32
Here's another video that YouTube thinks you'd really enjoy and you haven't seen it yet. So go give that a watch
