Can I beat Noob 2016 GeoWizard?

The 11th video I ever made was entitled simply "Geoguessr - 30 seconds per round #1"
It just looked so old and shit. I had to give it a watch.
Once I'd gotten past the feeble commentary, I thought to myself: Hmm not a terrible score, I wonder how many attempts that took me? 4 or 5 probably. Maybe more. The burning question then was, could I beat it first time?
..Then things escalated a bit.
You can play along with all three games in this video (and will probably win two of them)
BEST WAY TO PLAY: Before you watch the video, play the first round and make your selection.
As soon as you make your selection quickly switch back over to the KZfaq tab before the time
runs out and watch me play the first round. That way you don't spoil the surprise element
of the video. When you reopen the Geoguessr tab the you will see how our guesses compare. Repeat for each round.

Hi Tom, a couple of clues I picked up on that might have saved some points: The Singapore one had white and black kerbs that you see in Southeast Asia and not Australia. I think there was also a Singapore flag visible in the background at one point. The Paris one: there was an 18th Arrondissement marking on the street sign, which meant it was in Paris. If you learn the "snail" pattern of the arrondissements, you could also get the area of Paris that it is in.

@Michael-kp4bd Жыл бұрын

Even I could tell that was a classic Singapore looking location. Tom definitely beat me on pretty much every other guess, even his far ones. But it made me feel like at least I’ve learned some things from watching so much geoguessr content!

@_Shadbolt_ Жыл бұрын

FYI they have arrondissements in Marseille and Lyon too (although neither have 18). Paris's are really distinctive though, with their cool art nouveau style and green border. Marseille's and Lyon's are more similar, just blue and white.

Tom, you miss a lot of the central Oregon ones in these videos and I will give you a big hint. Those trees, they are ponderosa pines that are only really in central Oregon to northern California. It is also very obvious when the dirt next to the roads is that reddish color as that high desert area is all lava rock which gives the dirt that color. They are a dead giveaway for those images. I live in SW Washington but spend a lot of time in central Oregon with friends in the summer. It is actually crazy how much pollen those trees hold. In the spring time, it looks like yellow pinecones in the trees that leave a cloud of pollen when the wind blows. It is so bad, the roads are basically stained yellow when everything is in bloom.

21:30 The triangular sign reading "No Passing Zone" is specific to the United States. In Canada the equivalent sign is a white square with diagram of two cars in a red circle and a slash through the one on the left. In general Canada uses symbols on road signs while USA uses English words. And where US signs have both symbols and words, Canadian signs only have the symbols. For example the Canadian "One Way", "Yield", "Do Not Enter" and "Railway Crossing" signs are roughly the same as the American signs but without the text.
