Recall the pair
Work through country-and-capital pairs you already know. If one answer does not fit, move to a nearby pair instead of holding on to the same city.
Use this category’s entries
The capital bank is distinct from the general city bank and includes the entries shipped with this version. A city being large or well known does not make it a capital answer.
Compare like with like
Capital obscurity is calculated against other capital entries. The same name can have a different percentage in a city round because the comparison group has changed.
Three places to start with
| Place | Obscurity | Dig |
|---|---|---|
| Seoul ↗ | 10% | 14.8 m |
| Ouagadougou ↗ | 55% | 82.4 m |
| Lomé ↗ | 88% | 131.8 m |
These percentages are calculated from the game’s stored pageview data, using the same code as your dig. They are not live visitor counts or the percentage of players who know an answer.
Examples fit the unrestricted category. A round with extra conditions may need a different answer. Read the full scoring method.
