Awesome quiz! I'm happy to see this one on your own account. Once again huge congratulations! Of course I nominated, but I'm sure you won't need it.

The chance of getting any capital twice in a row is around 2%, So the more often you play the more repeats you'll get :)

So weird! I thought maybe it wasn't randomized as I got the same answer the first two times I played. Turns out, I randomly got the same answer twice in a row! I think that's a 1 in 38,416 chance; those are the odds! Thank you for the fun quiz, I've nominated it.

Glad you enjoyed! But your math is a bit off: this is the chance you get that specific capital twice in a row. If all answers are possible the chance of getting any capital twice in a row is 196 times that, or 1 in 196. However, due to the answer limit of 10,000 answers only 51 answers are possible, leading to a chance of 1 in 51 that this happens, or slightly less than 2%

The very first two times I played it was Vienna. There are enough people here stating that the same answer came up 2 times in a row that something seems amiss, it's statistically improbable.

At the time of writing this quiz has 8875 takes. For the sake of the argument let's say all of these takes from 4437 people (ignoring the one extra since I don't want to cut a person in half). So each person takes the quiz exactly twice. Since there are only 51 possibilities for answers, it is statistically expected that 87 of them end up with the same answer to both their takes.

We often think of randomness as something that should change the answer every time, yet getting the same answer twice in a row is also very much possible, especially given the limited amount of answers and the large amount of takes.

I think there might be a problem with the gradient.

The capital was Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The countries I guessed all looked nearly identical in color (from Guatemala, to Canada, Bahamas, Peru, Guyana).

-Iceland, Morocco, and South Africa, were noticeably different colored.

Maybe that's intentional- but I think I would've had to guess 2 dozen of the same-colored countries to win.

Maybe there's something wrong with my monitor, or eyes. I'm using Chrome. I opened Paint, and enlarged Guatemala/Nassau/Colombia/Ecuador, and they still look nearly identical at 20x the size.

Maybe everyone just goes: Mexico City, Cairo, Beijing, then begins spamming 10-30 capitals?

Fun quiz though, ty.

I agree with this, I think it's just unlucky to get a capital that is close in to other capitals. I got Tegucigalpa and I really couldn't tell any difference in color anywhere in Central America that I was guessing. Even Washington DC looked really close. It might be prohibitively difficult to program it so that the # of kilometers has a different effect on color depending on how clustered the capitals are. Like a mulitiplier. If you draw Male, Maldives, the color gradient works about as it does now, but if you draw Zagreb, Croatia, you have to get to Europe before the colors move much beyond light pink.

Hard to see differences in red when the dots are close together like in Europe. I did get Vatican City pretty early though so it's not that problematic I'd say.

Is the colour gradient just based on how many countries are closer rather than distance? I was guessing in West Europe and it was red so I assumed I was on the right track, the answer turned out to be Mexico City which is nowhere near Europe, I didn't even think to try the Americas because I assumed Europe would be very pale if the answer was over there.

Too hard to separate the colors with only 1 minute to complete. Should probably use another colormap. More colors would make it easier than just varied intensities of red

Maybe I am color blind, but I do not see any real differentiation in the colors based on proximity to the capitals.

It doesn't take me long to find a dark red dot, but I typically end up going in circles around the "hot" capital without noticing any derivation.

But I like the idea.

This was very fun, but I really struggled with seeing the different shades of red!

Also, I only got 1 point for guessing it after few capitals. Shouldn't it be the other way around? It seems the more capitals I name the more points I get?
