yeah this feels like an appropriate three-guesser.

i started with equatorial guinea on the reasoning that it was between libya and angola and has a big petrochemical sector and then i managed to mistype and guess liberia lol

Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I went with Venezuela first. Figured hey, they got a lot of petroleum and they ARE close to suriname so probably got gold. Puts me 9k kilometers away which because I don't know what the gently caress a kilometer is, I tried Azerbaijan, because of oil.. Then I did my usual Africa strategy and got it after trying CAR. I really need to focus more on the secondary exports

Ten thousand kilometres is almost precisely a quarter of the way around the Earth. The metre was at one time defined on this basis.

Look at this nerd who knows about kilometers. We solve our geography problems here the correct way, with gut instinct and desperate guessing

Not too bad today, I started with Bahrain and then figured out it was somewhere in North Africa from the very rare due west arrow.

yeah it pretty much had to be a coastal African country due to the combination of petroleum and scrap metal (=shipbreaking)

I tried to apply the tip that scrap iron implies coastal

No success, but it�s a relatively small fraction.

Electricity is a weird export.

There are only so many places that can grow citrus and grapes commercially.

Those threw me for a loop.

I got it in four because I went with CAR first as usual. What sucks is I wanted to guess Central Asia to start with but I figured their economies would be much, MUCH bigger, barring afghanistan maybe. I ruled out Kazahkstan from the get go because no significant petroleum. After that I was just bouncing around the Stans. Sigh. Coulda had it in two or even three if I went with my gut. Maybe one if I went off the beaten path. I read something years ago that confidence is tied to better performance in math and presumably other subjects as well. Does anyone have any really good cocaine

I knew it was one of the five Stans, and knew it wasn't Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, or Kazakhstan got lucky on which of the other two.
