A few questions about the methodology here: 1. Did the unlabeled map have borders? Or was it missing both labels and borders? 2. If it did have borders, is it conceivable that e.g. people on smaller/worse phones (likely correlated with wealth) were less able to see them?https://twitter.com/jpiacenza/status/1214897192386908160 …
3. Could having a smaller/older/worse phone/computer with lower quality screens also make it harder to mark the right place? (Given the number of dots in the sea, it seems that there might have been some amount of accidental placement (or trolling!))
4. Rather than showing a binary outcome (i.e. did you click the right country or not), maybe on something like this it would be interesting to show *how far* people were from the right answer? I'd be interested to know how many people got close, while the map emphasizes outliers
This brings back the time I spent most of a Saturday playing this world map quiz over and over until I could do the whole thing with no errors (an entirely useless life skill unless you get selected for a morning consult poll)https://www.sporcle.com/games/teedslaststand/world-no-outlines-minefield …
That is super impressive. I'm embarrassed to admit that @lbronner and I have never managed all 197 on https://www.sporcle.com/games/g/world even when playing together, multiple times, with borders...
