Wavelength 6, rd 3: Math & Mayhem v Hungry Hustlers - Page 8

I’ve never been, but I don’t think you clue Thailand for a middle of the road hot country

Something like a random African country or island country would work better for middle hot country

If you snapped off a random African country like Kenya or Morocco I woulda been going 17+, more for Kenya. And others I couldn't quickly think of but would recognize seem toasty AF to me, very close to equator. Thailand I dunno....I just associated it with Asia > China > Japan which seemed more north and not unreasonably hot.

I’m pretty firmly on higher.
There’s what? 195 countries in the world, so roughly 10 per point.
Vegas isn’t a country so we don’t need to worry about that, but I’d hazard a guess Thailand has a higher yearly average than Vegas.

Anyway, you got the f me countries for heat like Mali/ Senegal/ Mauritius Oman/ bahrain
Then it’s gotta be Singapore/ Thailand/ Barbados

Places like Brazil and Malaysia are hot but not as hot as Thailand or Singapore. Out of those 4 I’ve been to all and would have Thailand high!

People say Egypt is hot, Australia is hot, India is hot, again been to those places but Thailand is definitely hotter. It’s 18 or 19.

So I’m firmly higher

This game is following a pattern. MM still perfect so gonna be tough to turn it around

Good clue derwi, sorry I started talking us down from 18. 3 points and correct higher/lower shows your clue was pretty on the money

I was also pushing us down. It was a good clue and 3 points is a good result there.

I looked this up after our guess. Only 3 of the places you mentioned have a higher average temperature, and many are significantly lower. (Surprisingly)

If this was a research allowed game, we may have guessed 19.

The list definitely has some interesting results like Mexico being in the bottom half but obviously that one list doesn't tell the full story.
