Can I split up this map into equal McDonald's locations
0:03
So I have control of the Wiggly Line. Okay, so this is quite difficult
0:07
It's China, South Korea, North Korea, Japan. So I don't know a lot about McDonald's in these areas
0:12
If it was United Kingdom or, you know, Europe, United States, I maybe would be able to do a bit better here, but we'll see what happens
0:18
I feel like China will have some McDonald's. That's kind of my thought process
0:23
But I feel like Japan is going to have a lot of McDonald's
0:27
to the point where I'm almost wondering about this. What do we think? Do we separate Japan from basically everything else
0:33
Or maybe I think we get a bit of South Korea involved just down the bottom. That's what I'm going to try. I might be totally off, but let's give it a go
0:39
Okay, that's actually really good. Yeah, we definitely had the correct logic. We can see I was in the exact right place there, and I just needed to be a little bit further down
0:47
But that's pretty unreal, so can we reveal where the hotspot of McDonald's is
0:51
So there is a lot of McDonald's in China, but it's kind of a lot of just where are the big cities
0:55
And most of the big cities are kind of much further down this side. Oh, we've got what I wanted. This is McDonald's, but in Europe, right? I mean, oh, there is going
1:03
to be McDonald's almost everywhere in this map. Like there is a McDonald's everywhere in the UK
1:10
There's going to be a good amount of McDonald's in Paris. There's going to be loads and loads
1:15
in Germany. So what are my immediate thoughts here? I feel like this is going to be a just go
1:19
halfway through the map kind of thing because maybe not. Maybe a bit of this. What do we think
1:24
Like, let's get Paris over on the same side as London. And then that's all of the UK and Ireland's
1:30
half of France's, and then everywhere else. No, no. Let's move it over a bit like that
1:36
Is that too much? I just feel like there's going to be a good amount of McDonald's in Paris, in France, sorry
1:40
But I don't think there's going to be absolutely tons of them. Whereas I feel like in Germany, there's going to be loads and loads
1:46
In Denmark, there's going to be a decent amount, but not tons. It's kind of UK and Germany for me are where most of them are going to be
1:52
But there's also going to be loads in Italy. Should we lock this one in? I'm less confident. That's still, that's pretty good. Once again
1:58
that's a 95% accuracy. Let's see the hotspots. Okay. Yeah. As we can see, they're everywhere
2:04
basically, but we're good at this. I didn't think I'd be good at this before I started recording
2:08
Right. This is McDonald's for South America. Oh my. This is one that I know less about. I imagine
2:16
there's going to be a lot of McDonald's in Brazil, but I do not know. The two big ones for McDonald's
2:21
presumably are going to be Argentina and Brazil. So I think those are the countries we need to
2:25
focus our splits on. And there's also going to be so much of the Brazilian populations along the
2:30
coast. So I think we want to do a bit of that so that we can at least get some population up here
2:36
because there's not going to be that many McDonald's in all of this area. Yeah, there's going to be tons and tons of people there with loads and loads of McDonald's. And then there's
2:44
going to be Buenos Aires isn't actually counted. So I don't know what the population is like here
2:50
I might do that. I might get Santiago over on the other side
2:54
We're going to try that. I'm really unconfident on this one. Let's go for it. Yeah, that wasn't great
2:59
We did get in the top 24% if we combine all of the rounds, but that's a 40 out of 100 for that last one
3:05
So if I can take a look at the hotspot, please. Where's my hotspot button? We don't have it on this last one
3:10
Yeah, that one, I should have gone even lower. Yeah, too many people are just over in this side
3:14
I went way too populated. I needed to cut out these two cities and that would have fixed it
3:19
All right, we've done McDonald's. Now let's just do general populations, starting with this area of northeast USA and also
3:26
easterly Canada. So we've got Washington, New York. I know this is a really populated area
3:31
We also have the east of Canada. So Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec, Montreal, they're all featured
3:39
How on earth do I split this up? I know that it's going to be pretty quiet in this area compared to this side
3:45
So we definitely want to be like further down here. I feel like we need to separate New York and Washington
3:50
If we were to have it like here, that means we can have Washington, Toronto
3:54
I think New York's so populated. I feel like we might need Ottawa on this side
4:01
Yeah, should I try that? Should I submit it? Let's give it a go. See what he thinks
4:05
Okay, so there's 61% of people on this side, 38 on this side. So we needed to go here
4:12
So we were really on the right track. We needed to split Ottawa down the middle and we needed Philadelphia over on this side
4:19
That would have done it. All right, let's try the next one. Okay, now we're in China
4:24
Is this the top of Pakistan? Is that there? I think so
4:28
Oh my God. How on earth am I gonna do this? I don't know a lot about this area
4:32
so I believe that Trunzing is really really populated I feel like I need to be doing something like this maybe Honestly this one a bit of a shot in the dark Yeah I feel like we gonna we gonna do that
4:47
and we're gonna try it. Let's take a look. Ah, once again, we're on the right track. We really
4:53
are. We just needed to just up the angle. We actually got this bit spot on. We got a 62
4:59
there. Ooh, okay. I'm included in this one. Actually, no, I'm just out of the circle. That's
5:04
fine. So Germany is super populated, but that's not involved. The UK is very popular as well
5:10
Paris and Spain, less so. So we, I'm wondering, do we want to split up the UK? I feel like we do
5:18
This is really tricky actually. Maybe like that? What would that do? So that would put Birmingham
5:22
separate. Birmingham, I know is the second most populated UK city. So that would put Birmingham
5:28
Bristol, Cardiff. That's not that many. Yeah. What we could maybe do is we could do this and
5:33
then a bit of this. So what does that do? That gives us Paris, which is going to be heavily
5:38
populated. Paris, London, Birmingham together. Brussels, Rotterdam, Amsterdam. Hmm. Yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to move it over a bit. I'm going to give Birmingham to the left. This
5:47
could be so wrong, honestly, because these guys could be hugely populated, but I don't think they
5:52
are. So let's give it a go. Ooh, wait. Ooh, we actually did it really well. We got a 90 out of
5:57
100. That's beautiful. Look at that. That's a really good score. I'm honestly really pleased
6:02
with that one. Once again, I had one ball in the exact right location. And then this one was just
6:06
a couple of degrees, just a couple of degrees moving over. We needed Birmingham over on the
6:11
right. Interesting. It was only Birmingham that messed that up. This one's totally different. This is volcanoes. So it's not population based, like the population one and the McDonald's one
6:20
essentially. This is just all natural. So I do not know much about volcanoes. I know Indonesia
6:27
has loads and loads of volcanoes though. So I feel like we want to be doing a bit of this
6:32
so that we can split up basically Indonesia and kind of ignore the other countries a little bit
6:37
I'm sure all of these countries have got a decent amount of volcanoes, but I know Indonesia is like super volcanoes
6:42
Volcanoes? Volcanoes? We won't worry about it. I don't know anything about Papua New Guinea
6:46
in terms of their volcanoes. I think I kind of need to look at the land mass of Indonesia
6:50
It's much more thin on this side, but I suppose there's a good chunk there. Let's get a bit of the Philippines involved
6:55
I'm not gonna overthink this one. I'm just gonna go for it. All right, that's not too bad. That's a 78%, which is decent
7:00
Oh, it actually gives us the numbers. So we had 112 volcanoes over on this side
7:05
We had 76 volcanoes over on this side. So we were close to getting that right
7:10
Sadly, I think I was pretty much perfect where I had it before
7:14
And then I wanted to get the Philippines involved, didn't I? We moved it bloody over. Okay, right
7:18
Now it's Japan. Also heavy volcano territory. And I believe I learned recently that is it this area
7:25
or is it this area of Russia also has a lot of big mountains and probably a few volcanoes. So
7:32
I'm going to keep that in mind. I think I'm going to try and split them like that. Ah, no
7:37
that's going to be too much. That's going to be too much. We could do it like that maybe. What do you think? So that gets most of Japan on one side, but then we do still have all of this landmass
7:44
where there's going to be good volcano. Yeah, we're going to try it. We're going to try it. Once again, I think I was exactly on it. I literally was like lined up perfectly with this
7:55
and I moved it. That I've done terribly. All right, final volcano round. Where are we here
7:59
Ooh, we're in South America. So we got Peru. We got a bit of Argentina involved. We got lots of
8:05
Chile. This is another one where I don't have great volcano knowledge. We know that the
8:10
is it the Andes? Is the Andes running along here? There's going to be a bunch of volcanoes popping
8:13
up there. So I want to maybe go this way for a change as opposed to this way. Yeah, I don't know
8:18
I'm going to do a bit of that. I'm just trying to think about geoguessering when I see all the mountains. There's mountains all throughout Peru. There's mountains all throughout this area of
8:25
Chile. It's mountains here, but I feel like it's a bit flattered in this side. And then it gives all of Bolivia too. So let's, let's try that. Top 9%. We're smashing this to be honest. Oh my God
8:36
look at that. 50 and 49. That's an unbelievable score. 98 out of 100 on this round. A flawless
8:42
state. That's beautiful. People couldn't get better than that. We found our calling. We're
8:45
unbelievable. Okay, back to just general populations. This is central United States
8:51
with a bit of Mexico sprinkled in. Uh, hmm, let me think
8:55
This is difficult. I feel like this is the impulse I've got
9:01
So what big cities do we have here? Los Angeles isn't counted. Phoenix is not gonna be small
9:05
Tucson's not gonna be small. Austin and Dallas, they're gonna be up there, I reckon. I think they're probably
9:09
probably one of the most populated here. I think it's basically San Diego as well
9:14
So I need to split San Diego and maybe do something like that or maybe the other side San Antonio Yeah there are going to be some big places Las Vegas is involved as well What do we think of that So that gives us
9:28
almost all of the big cities that I'm aware of. Maybe we get Austin. Yeah, Austin can join the
9:34
party. You can just like tiptoe over and then it leaves a huge area that's going to be presumably
9:38
less populated. But because it's so much bigger, it might collectively equate to a similar amount
9:44
So I might try that. Oh, oh my God. We're so close again
9:49
So what did I mess up? Houston. If I'd let Houston join, our logic would have been flawless
9:54
We're playing so good. So 29 million on that side and 42 million
9:58
When you actually quantify it, we're nearly 20% different. So we're not as good as it actually maybe looks on here because of how many people are in there, which ruins it
10:08
But we were really on the right logic. We were so close. Next one
10:12
Oh, this is the one where I'm going to stroll. because this is a big area with so many different countries
10:18
So, Turkey is probably one of the most populated areas here. So big populated countries in Europe
10:27
Germany's not involved. Russia's there, but Moscow isn't in frame. This is actually really difficult
10:32
Damascus is involved, as is Baghdad. So they could be really, really populated
10:38
Oh, I feel like we were after something that looks a bit like this
10:42
Oh my god, I could be so far off here. There's millions and millions of people in all of these
10:46
countries. They're all like tens of millions. Turkey, I think, has a pretty huge population
10:50
I need to get Ankara separate to Istanbul, I think. Do I like that or do I hate that? Can we do it
10:57
without getting Istanbul involved? Can we get more of Russia involved? I just feel like this isn't
11:03
going to be a very populated area of Russia. Yeah, this might be really far off. I think it is. I'm
11:08
gonna do more of that. I'm moving it up. Istanbul, Ankara, Baghdad, Damascus, all on the same side now
11:14
And lots and lots of cities over here, but I just think they're generally smaller. We might be far
11:18
here. I shouldn't have moved it. I shouldn't have moved it, but it's still really good. That is a
11:23
93%. 53 and 46. I'm pleased. I'm really bloody pleased. What did I do wrong then? I basically
11:30
should have swapped out Rostov and these southern areas of sort of Greece and the Balkans. Yeah
11:36
fair enough, fair enough. So close to doing well there. Oh, where are we here? Oh, it's Australia
11:41
Okay, so we have Sydney, we have Newcastle, Brisbane, Logan City, Gold Coast. So this is
11:46
quite a tricky one. Brisbane is pretty highly populated. Gold Coast is pretty highly populated
11:52
I've not been to Newcastle. I don't know. Sydney, obviously very highly populated. I think it's
11:56
going to be better to split it like that. I'm just trying to work out where. Like, do I want to do
12:00
something as drastic as that? Because then you've got Sydney and you can see, we can see actual
12:04
roads. You can see it's extensive because this is major roads are visible. Oh, but this could be
12:09
really, really different. It could be literally more like an even split. I guess there's a lot
12:13
of correct answers, but this is a fascinating little game mode. I'm not going to lie. Do we want to try something like that? Or do we want to try something like that? Because then it's got
12:21
three big cities here, two big cities here, but presumably Sydney's the biggest. Let's try it
12:27
close, we're close, we're bloody close. We got, uh, 93% again there. 53% and 46%. Oh, that's good
12:37
that's decent. So what should I have done? I should have swapped out Newcastle. We've got to just assume Sydney is far bigger. So if Newcastle was with the other guys, we'd have absolutely
12:45
nailed it. Oh, UNESCO World Heritage Sites. So that's landmark locations with cultural
12:51
historical, or scientific significance that receive legal protection under an international treaty. Now, they are dotted about basically everywhere in the world, 173 different countries
12:59
Um, this is, this is hard. I think that Japan is going to have a lot. I think that China
13:06
is definitely going to have a lot. I think that Mongolia should have a lot, but it perhaps has
13:11
not as many. We need to do a bit more of this. Thailand's just squeezing in, as is Laos and
13:16
Vietnam. Yeah, they're all places that are going to have a lot of amazing places within them. So
13:22
could we do something like this? That splits up South Korea, gets a lot of Japan and also loads
13:28
of China. Maybe I'll go down a bit. I feel like most of them are going to be here, but maybe not
13:32
I'm going to actually go back up. Yeah, I'm just not going to overthink this one. We're just going to go for it. We needed to basically have all of South Korea there, but that's decent. So there's
13:40
69 sites in the green and 45 in this orange bit. So our logic was correct with the locations. We
13:47
just didn't do it quite right. So now we move south, we have got Indonesia, Philippines
13:51
We can finally see the rest of Vietnam, Thailand, et cetera. Indonesia, obviously I said it had loads and loads
13:57
of volcanoes so it gonna have loads of world heritage sites Philippines probably has quite a few Malaysia Thailand Cambodia Yeah I feel like let try a bit of this What do you think of that Let just we doing it within seconds
14:10
Oh my God, we're unbelievable. It's a 91%. So 25 sites over here, 30 sites over on this side
14:16
So with how big this area is, that's not actually that many World Heritage sites, is it
14:21
55 sites in this whole region. It's not a lot. I'm really pleased with our guests there
14:26
And finally, Africa. Okay, now that's a really interesting one. So Africa's got some unbelievably incredible diverse landscape
14:34
and obviously it's got like a lot of crazy, crazy wildlife, which I assume would fall under World Heritage Sites
14:41
So I'm thinking we want more of this because then we can have, I know there's a lot of safari stuff
14:45
that goes on on either side here and I'm assuming like national parks and stuff would be covered
14:50
So I want to split those up. That leaves a lot of population over on this side though
14:55
So maybe I do a bit more of that. Oh, this is a really difficult one. Places like Ethiopia, Kenya, you think they're going to have tons
15:00
So maybe I'll go a bit more over this way. Yeah, let's try that
15:04
Let's go for it. Oh, that one we didn't do amazing. And we got 69 out of 100, which for us, we're good at this
15:10
That's not good enough for us. The game doesn't give us the breakdown on the final round, which is a bit silly
15:15
But we got a 40 and 60%, which is decent. The thought was there, I need to be far more brutal
15:20
That's actually quite surprising. That shows that there are loads over on this side
15:25
I suppose we've got Madagascar there too, which I didn't really think about. But yeah, I really would have thought if I was wrong
15:30
I would have needed to go more this way, but it's actually the other way. So that's interesting. All right, now a little bit of a mental one to finish off
15:36
We're going to do quarters. So, oh God. Oh, I see. Right
15:41
So we had this at the beginning, obviously. So what did we learn? Are we just about right there
15:47
Philadelphia, Washington, all in one. New York, Toronto. No, rotate around. This is so difficult all of a sudden. I feel like this axis is probably in a good spot
15:58
But it's just working out this bit. I might just try that Was that really stupid? I don't think it's that stupid. I could shoot. Oh, yeah, it is
16:07
Oh my god It's so stupid because I was about to lock in this area here, which has no one as equal to the other
16:14
The other three we need to put you. I gotta didn't do that. We need to put new york on this side
16:19
Maybe I get philadelphia involved as well and then a bit of that does norfolk want to join go on then norfolk in you
16:24
Yeah, i'm gonna submit it Oh, it's very very bad. Very wrong 16% 24% 24. So we split them up evenly 34
16:32
So I needed to be further down Ah, and then I could with this square I could get
16:38
Brooklyn involved new york involved and then like this halifax area of canada as well and boston that was tough
16:45
Apparently that's a 78% that was very difficult for me Okay, we're back in China again
16:52
Don't overthink it, Jack. How do you like this? Do you like that? No, you don't
16:56
You definitely don't. Do you like that? Yes, you bloody do. Do you want to even bother rotating it
17:01
I feel like it's easier doing it like this. It's very satisfying to move as well. I'm not going to lie
17:06
Yeah, go for it. Should have moved it back where it was
17:09
Ooh, 9% in this whole region. So I definitely need to move over. Quarters is so hard
17:14
Oh, okay. Okay, this is our final one of the video. Ooh, look at it
17:18
like wiggling about. Ooh, that's so good. That's good. Sorry. I'm getting distracted. Uh, how do
17:23
we want to do this one then? Hmm. Oh, I like watching them all change color. I'm not going
17:28
to lie. We were good when it was splitting into two, but what did we learn? I don't know
17:34
Yeah. Could that work? Good God. This is difficult. Lots of big cities there. We've got Paris and Barcelona in this one. This just works on the numbers, but we could. No
17:44
It's too low for that place. We're gonna, we need to move this for this quarter. God, this is hard. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Down. Yeah. Do we like that? I don't know. I think it's
17:57
okay. Maybe move it over a bit. Okay. Lock-in split. That's good. That's decent. Apparently
18:03
not much different to the others, but I feel better about it. The thing is in this video, we've been so close each time, apart from like on these final games, that our lines barely have
18:12
change and this is the one where we're on the right track but we just didn't go quite far enough
18:17
to the left way too populated over here you know you've got london you've got amsterdam rotterdam
18:22
brussels what was i thinking but still in the top 20 so i think overall we can hold our head up high
18:28
at the end of this one thank you very much for watching hopefully enjoyed i thought it was fun i'd be up for playing more like this so leave some suggestions in the comments down below here's
18:36
another video of mine that youtube thinks you'd enjoy so go give that a click get that watched
18:40
Get that in the... Get that in the... Okay, bye
