Yes, when you see "jima" or "shima" (島) at the end of japanese place name, it means island. so when you say "miyakojima island", you've essentially said "miyako island island".
WORST GUESSES COMPILATION!!!
Make it happen!
@JTagStudios
Yeah but it doesn't quite have the same energy if it's done on purpose.
@@Debre. One of his 10 country challenge videos has a compilation of close guesses, but wrong country and, therefore, may have the energy you're looking for. 😉
Ur famous now friend xD
The car's steering wheel is on the right, so that would have been a clue for me.
I was SCREAMING at my screen for him to look at the bloody car xD
I saw that... but the gloominess made me go UK. 0 points T_T
@@tristanw2211 LOL
Wait what? It's supposed to be on the left? Huh?! Omg my brain. I forget :( -_-
6:52
You're right! Jima means island :D the kanji is 島
Love your videos, from Japan!
The New Zealand one you could easily see the cars steering wheel was on the right.
Love your videos man.
And it's a 1988 misubishi magna
You’d never see a car towing something in America. Especially with a low-quality trailer like that. We’re very much invested in giant trucks + giant trailers.
A very good point. Most Americans that might have the need for a small trailer like that will just buy a pickup truck instead to carry stuff in the bed. The few small trailers like that I've seen have been for gardening services and they are still pulled by trucks.
🏆Pro tip🏆
Play this with the widest display you have.
For example with a horizontal phone screen you can see almost 180° without scrolling
Omg you were few kilometres from my hometown in the last round I can't believe that, I drove on that road 2 days ago 😄 and yes, you pronounced Ptuj horribly wrong but that's okay, it was actually revealed in a survey that it is the world's hardest city for British tourists to pronounce, so you are forgiven
Btw you also mispronounced my name haha. And maybe I'm slightly fangirling that you mentioned me 😅
I had a feeling you lived nearby! So how do you pronounce Ptuj? and Kaya for that matter!
@@GeoWizard it's "P-too-ee". The letter j in our language sounds somewhat like how you say the letter y. There we go, some time ago I taught you some Croatian and now some Slovenian so now you should have no language problems when you visit the Balkans again 😁
Puh-tuge 😂 that was hilarious!
Lep pozdrav!
@@kayasiebenreich8706
Isn't it more like p-tooy? Or something like that?
@@Debre. I don't know, I googled the pronounciation but yeah P-tooy works as well
1: Guessed Hungary, but Ireland/UK did cross my mind.
2: Guessed Taiwan. Not bad.
3: You can see that the car has the steering wheel on the right. I went for New Zealand (only 103 km off).
4: I botched it and went for Ukraine.
5: I guessed Czechia, but did also consider Slovenia (among some other options).
Total score: 13989.
I beat you, so there.
I'd like to thank the wonderful nation of New Zealand for making this victory possible.
Thats insane to see that one of the points is Irabu/Miyako. My mom is from there and I've visited twice before. They just recently finished the bridge that took so man years to build, you used to have to take a ferry to go from one island to the other. Keep up the great work brother
I've watched burnt face man! And all the rest. Loved them when I was in secondary school. Classic stuff
Hi!
Japanese studies graduate speaking!
You had me beat with the Japan round, certainly. I thought that far South had no crop fields, so you schooled me there.
Anyway, "jima" is indeed a suffix meaning "island". When on its own, it's "shima" instead, but that's just linguistics being an arseache again.
Cheers mate, you've confirmed my suspicions!
@@GeoWizard You're very welcome. I mean, not often I get to talk about Japan. Not many over here in Denmark find it interesting. So I'm taking my opportunities!
A bit gutted you got me on the round, though. When you said Japan, I went "Well, maybe down south in Okinawa Prefecture, but I don't think they have that many fields down there..."
I genuinely thought that was Taiwan or something. I guess I should have not just stayed up North where the weather was tolerable :D
G'day Wizz. Reckon you could try an Aussie 10 state challenge. These are only 6 states and 2 major territories so you should be able to get it easy.
Just a shame that half of the Australia photos look like they were taken with a 2004 Sony Erickson.
Live in Japan and can confirm that jima (shima - letters often change when a word is a suffix) means island. Good guess 😊
#1: I thought I had the Sun in front, so in the north, and went for Argentina. A meagre 15 points is the reward.
#2: Had no idea, went for Israel. 47 points.
#3: Also went for USA, but at least I beat you this round. By 3 points to 2...
#4: Went for Cracow, Poland. Still very far away, but 74 points is more than I had in the first three rounds together
#5: Finally close, I went for Croatia, 4675 points.
A total of 4814 points, what a disaster! Oh, and with 55 people playing you still had the highest total.
#1: I went for spain 'cause it looked like where I live in winter
#2: Went for the island right beside the one he picked 'cause I remembered the japan thingy
#3: Also went for USA and also got 2 points after choosing michigan
#4: I went for Poland too except I chose Warsaw
#5: For the last one I went for the southern border between france and germany
got 8837 points at the end
Got 13471. Biggest mistake was picking Israel for that Island near Taiwan. Also picked Northern NSW for NZ. The other 3 were fair guesses, I thought. It was nice now they show you the wizard's guess at the same time as they rate your guess. That was cool.
1. West Scotland, Ayrshire. Looked British, particularly the seaside foliage
2. Northern Brazil was my initial guess but the telegraph pole suggested it was East Asia. Stuck to my guns but learned nonetheless
3. Australia, near Sydney. The car looked so Australian, possibly a Holden
4. Initially guessed Bavaria, Germany. Just had an inkling that it was a "cultural" snapshot. Looked very European. No idea it was Canada
5. Looked somewhere like Croatia. Portugal I thought of too but it looked rather too "spacious". Went for Croatia and was relatively pleased
Cheers Tom!
In the New Zealand one, the steering wheel was on the right…
CJ White also the car and the trailer looked very non-american.
Lil Bert It's hard though. It kind of didn't look American to me either but it easily could have been. The building with a cross didn't really look American to me, my gut said Europe but it easily could have been American also. Ended up being Canada which I would have guessed over the USA but I definately still would have gone for Europe.
Yes “Jima” is a Japanese word for island
keep the 10 state challenges coming!! They're pretty hilarious to watch
Before getting 5 countries, perhaps you should try to get 5 continents on this map!
I ended up around 8k. Went for Estonia for the first one. Would LOVE to see a diverse world 10 county no m/s/z. Maybe do it like you do the 10 state challenge (which I want to see more of) and see how many you can get out of 10. Also, in that format you can still share the links and make them challenges with us. This is probably my favorite channel right now. Much love from Raleigh, NC, USA
The classic. this is why im here.
I'm somehow happy to see my name at the highscore at the beginning of the video. :)
But my round... Started well, I guessed Ireland too (ok, Northern Ireland...) and also southern Japan was correct. But the rest of the game....
14:29 when he saw the "km" sign
Inside GeoWizard's brain: no more American disaster
14:45 Ireland uses metric and drive on the left.
Just got to the pool on holiday in Fuertaventura and I go to TH-cam to see one of these.. there is a god and it’s you, thanks bro
gotta love the birmingham joke
Hmm, my Burnt Face sense is tingling! Someone's in trouble!
You got lucky on the Japan round. One Island to the south and you would have landed in Bandia Terra ;)
Nice Geography now reference dude haha :)
I would like to see more ten state challenge. If you learn the more distinct license plates, I think you could get up to 4. I've been trying it for myself and my record is 3.
14:12 - 14:21
Bad. They were bad. They were taken from their familys and forsed to speak English instead of their native language.
Oh, there's so much more too it. That's all I'm going to say I'm afraid. Have a great day.
Canadian provinces/territories next please!
I was SCREAMING at you to not guess the USA hahaha
For New Zealand and Australia they use kilometers and drive on the left, also The car in the new zealand one was parked on the left which immediately rules out America
The place you were referring to in Saskatchewan there is called a residential school and it was basically a place the government put the indigenous children in for schooling. I actually don't know if that's what is was but some background info anyways
Do the license plate video you suggested, take requests from others and maybe do a few similar videos and keep trying the challenge. Only one way you'll get better at picking in the US.
i want to see 10 state challenge again, those are so fun to watch
burnt face man was class. are you a crime...inal, a criminal?
Ha! Smashed you on the NZ one. Been to Invervargill a few times and it looked quite similar to the area in that round. Let’s not talk about the other rounds tho hahaha
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Your last guess was abaut 50km away from my home in Bad Radkersburg (Austria)
the nz round!! dude i was yelling "look at the way the cars parked! look at the car!" because of what side of the road it was on
Yeah, it was clearly a righthand drive car. I thought NZ - or possibly one of the lusher parts of Victoria.
I cant believe my county was the first pick. Love this show, keep up the good guess work.
1. Thought British or Irish, felt like South England idk. Decent score
2. Saw the black yellow stripes, went south Japan. Decent score
3. House looked American, but car looked strange so thought Australia or NZ. Looked at the steering wheel, so went with NZ cuz it looked a bit too green for Australia. Got the wrong part of NZ though. Decent score
4. Thought Europe at first because of building, but the trees looked North American or Central European-ish. Plus the cross made it seem like a Christian school maybe. So went US cuzI thought they were a little more Christian than Central Europe. Wrong part of North America lol. Shit score.
5. South Europe, first impression Spain or Italy, maybe France. Saw the green sign, so ruled out most Western countries. Went for North East Croatia. Good score
Please do another 10 state challenge!
Yes pls more 10 state challenge
Have you played the "A complete world" map? The map is a mix of photospheres and street view, and includes every country in the world.
I love salad fingers 😊🤗 I remember when salad fingers was new lol, now he is old, I am too Lmao.
oh my god on that last round I was looking at the roads in slovenia and I almost put my marker on that road very few kilometers from where it really was but then I thought it could be Czech Republic so I ended up 352km away .... When playing Geoguessr you should always trust your gut
The highlight of my day, cheers for the video
yes, jima is an island, but the unaltered form of the word is shima, so both mean island, just in different sound formations. also, yama means mountain in japanese, and shan means mountain in chinese (now I see someone's already answered this). I see you already got an answer for the 'j' sound in slavic languages, which is pronounced like 'y' in 'yummy' or 'yolk'. it's written as 'й' in cyrillic alphabet, except in serbian and macedonian, which use the latin version of the letter even in their cyrillic script, so that's one differentiating factor for distinguishing serbian and macedonian cyrillic from the others, although there are more, like the 'џ', which is again found in both and the letters 'ћ' and 'ђ' which are found only in serbian.
Can't believe you put that first guess in Cranford, town over from me
A convent usually refers to a nunnery. It's like a temple for Buddhist Monks, except a convent is usually for Catholic Nuns.
I was really surprised that he didn't know what a convent was.
id love worst guesses comp
Great videos tom. Love your approach. Your Kiwi accent was terrible by the way. Keep the videos coming buddy . Dave
0:10 you tried so hard for that segue. Liked the video
My take: 2018/25000. Pretttttttty terrible. I think this one was hard. Overall, much worse than my 16k/25k game last week.
Round 1 -- 1793/5000. Went for Slovenia, near the mountains since I saw them to the north in the picture. Didn't expect it to be as far north as Ireland or near the sea either. Nice job on your end!
Round 2 -- 15/5000. Saw driving on the right and loads of palm trees. Also noticed that black/yellow thing on the telephone pole but thought it was weird because that's a Japanese thing yet we were driving on the right (I realized later that it's because the road is one-way). Chose Southern California, was horribly wrong. :(
Round 3 -- 5/5000. Grainy image, definitely looked like United States to me too. Picked a place in the plains since that's where you get those big storms. Oklahoma was nowhere close LOL. Really surprised that it was New Zealand.
Round 4 -- 143/5000. This scene looked very British to me. I went somewhere in Northern England and was disappointed to see that it was, in fact, in Canada! I am a poor guesser it seems.
Round 5 -- 62/5000. Driving on the right, green signboards like in the US but it critically said "km". Guessed a highway in western Canada, near Calgary. Sad to see it was actually Slovenia, like my first guess!
A great game as always!
It'd be fun to something like having an area around a group of islands and then trying to guess which one of the islands you are on.
With that third one if you look closely at the car's dashboard you can see that the wheel is on the right side of the car
You were looking for shadows in #3 but missed the large brick building. The south-facing side (towards you) was clearly brightly illuminated compared to the side, and since the building was close to being perfectly north-south aligned that meant it was likely in the Northern hemisphere.
Omfg so many clues I miss :(
That's round #4 btw
Also yeah, I think noticed on the NZ one that the car's shadows were ever so slightly suggesting you were in the southern hemisphere, but it would have been pretty difficult to spot to be fair
Weird, I was only able to see the very corner of the green sign on the last round...🤔
You might have been zoomed in a bit, or your screen has the wrong aspect ratio
Same, for me it alwasy starts a bit zoomed in
First thought on round 3 was also america, but I went for NZ, thinking "this is a very edgy guess". Never felt so fucking smug in my life. The reasoning was that the car was parked on the left despite having no real reason to.
I'm addicted to this channel.
at 11:30 the very left edge of the building is clearly getting direct sun so it has to be N hemisphere.
how you know that?
Last guess was ridiculous
15968. I had r4 in France... I was kind of right - Gravelbourg is/was home to a French-Canadian cathedral - strange place to have one!
10 state challenge would be lovely
My Turn:
1.Looks irish with the yellow markers on the road. I did the same as GW did, but more northern, but still Ireland. 4576 Points
2. yellow and black stripes on the poles, that's Japan. i guessed at Sendai. 2128 Points.
3.Looks american, maybe Alaska? Well, no yellow line on the road so guessed canada. 5 Points :(
But for one moment i thought about australia or New zealand.
4.Looks pretty european. The brick house, the green grass. maybe poland? i guessed poland.80 points :(
WTF.
5. the sign says Km, so maybe Europe? Could be Hungary or Slovenia. I guesssed slovenia.4722 Points
summary: 10966 points. :(
I'm not good at no moving, scrolling or zooming.
You should do a Slovenia insane guesses video, somehow you ALWAYS get them right
Here’s a tip for America. The more south you go in America the more cement driveways compared to the north
The car in the New Zealand round gave it away. Not a car or tires ud see in the US.
That Mitsi had NZ written all over it!
I have never seen a car like that in the USA in guess #3. I was screaming, "Not USA."
How about as a warm-up to 10 State Challenge, you do a 10 County Challenge in the UK?
#3 threw me off as well. I went US. None of that looked like NZ to me initially.
As an American I was embarrassed that I got #3 wrong. But it points to how generic that kind of landscape really is...even when opening that area up on Street View and moving around, the landscape is very very Middle America.
New Zealand did cross my mind if only for a moment because of the car being parked facing forward on the left side of the road, but I figured that was irrelevant because it was at the end of a block. I didn't even bother looking at the steering wheel.
Anyway, I did really really bad. Only 7,122 points, which I'm embarrassed about because I'm usually closer to the top than #220ish, lol
10 state challenge is fun. And don't get discouraged it's genuinely difficult, even for Americans.
90% of the shitty depressing suburbs that I get dropped in end up being New Zealand.
I was screaming New Zealand lol
Next try! I'm still a complete noob, so if I get over 5000 in total, I'm happy xD (also, some of the pictures have updated since this video was released)
1. This looks incredibly Dutch, but the stripes on the road are yellow instead of white. And the trees are just a little too big, the power-thingies a little too thin... But that trench next to the road.. it might be Belgium? (2.875 points)
2. First thing that I see as a clue is the red sand, which looks like Sahara sand. It might also be around Red Canyon, but these palm trees don't make sense there. Let's cheat a little to see where in Africa there even is streetview. Virtually nowhere... great. Senegal has a little bit of streetview, but looks very different. Soo...south east asia then? Somewhere in India. (340 points)
3. The type of house is very American, as is the sidewalk... this car looks insanely old fashioned for a photo taken in 2019. For some reason it makes me lean towards Oklahoma. (5 points xD) - I can't believe I got a higher score than GW here xD
4. So this is a church of some sort? At least it's a christian place, which could still be almost anywhere. The trees look kinda Mediterranian-ish to me, but it might also be like Florida or California. I think the building looks more European than American to me though, so maybe Italy? Let's go with Italy. (65 points)
5. Driving on the right side, the sign is green, so that could at least be the USA or Poland and probably a lot of other places. The sun is in the north east an pretty high up, but it's summer, so yeah. Dunno, the surroundings look European to me and the sign American. What do? The roads are good and don't have a wall, so it's probably not Poland xD Let's say Kansas, whatever. (51 points)
Total 3.336 points xD
(I'm now wondering if I overlooked the 'KM' on the sign, or my image was cropped differently)
For some reason I love watching these videos in 2x speed
3/5 contries... God job man
It would be interesting for someone to develop a game like this for video games.
Do another 10 state challenge, it’s a fun time.
I feel like in 10 state challenge you should get a point if you’re within 2-3 states
I'm portuguese and in the split second the round appeared i also thought Portugal. But then i looked at it better and you don't find that white side road in Portugal. But the landscape could very much be portuguese. Went for Serbia.
Why do you have white houses with orange roofs in Portugal? 🤔 I'm curious because here in the south of Spain (Andalusia) we also have that. So many many landscapes look the same in Portugal and Andalusia. Look for Sierra de Aracena on google, that's where I'm from, next to Beja in Portugal.
@@arianam9977 don't know, Im not big on architecture 😕. But there's a lot of that, mainly in rural areas. Yeah, that area of Spain is really similar to "Alentejo" since its on the same geographical area
How is your intuition so good? I'm from Slovenia and would never have guessed. Like what even gives it away?
The orange-y red roofs did it for me. Also he’s backpacked thru Slovenia so I’m sure he’s familiar with it well
Make another US state challenge!
Mondays.
Upvoted because of burnt face man reference.
You say "christian" in a weird way(to me at least). In america we pronounce it like "chris-chin".
Also, I'd love a "worst guesses" video if it's not too much trouble
do 3 arrowclick allowance on no moving scrolling or zooming, so the image changes 3 times
You couldn't be in Portugal in that last one because our road signs aren't green, they're blue
Those big old schools.... Yeah, from the late 1800's to 1996, the Canadian government had varying levels of mandatory state education for Indigenous peoples. Quite often, they would be involuntarily taken from their homes and taken to big schools to be educated in the European tradition. The levels of abuse and disease in these prison-schools was disgusting. Our first Prime Minister, John A. McDonald, the dude on the fiver, vowed to "Take the Indian out of the child". One of the greatest shames of our history.
You could see the steering wheel being on the right side on your USA guess...
WoW I'm #2 with 17044 score. Got some luck but I had pretty good reasoning for most of my guesses.
I'm not a dick!
But I am addicted.... to crime
Fighting it, that is!
Wow, that was really hard. I got 238 points total, lol!
