Answer and distance feedback
Aya represents Lebanon. Capital reference: Beirut. The distance entries below are copied from this edition's official table, not measured from capital to capital. A 0 km entry is not a correct answer unless it matches the target country; rounded geometry is not proof of a shared land border.
- Israel: 0 km
- Syria: 0 km
- Jordan: 47 km
- Palestine: 61 km
- Türkiye: 129 km
Clue explanation: what the guest describes
Aya recalls choosing bags of Al Rifai nuts with her grandparents and giving them as gifts. She describes skiing around Faraya, contrasting landscapes and religious diversity, then identifies herself as Lebanese and says she grew up between Lebanon and the United States. The language in her reveal is Arabic. Her family memories are clues to roots, not a test of accent or present residence.
Scoring on this replay
Aya and Emiliia retain original scoring on replay: the final clue leaves a 2,500-point base and each miss subtracts a flat 500. They do not use the later 30-percent miss penalty. The modern shared game still permits three guesses.
