Answer and distance feedback

Ngoni represents Zimbabwe. Capital reference: Harare. 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. Zimbabwe has four land neighbors: Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa and Zambia. Namibia is not one of them despite its 0 km entry.

Clue explanation: what the guest describes

Ngoni shows a herringbone-pattern silver bracelet and describes sadza with mazondo, wildlife, a large-denomination banknote and Victoria Falls. The banknote amount is part of his story, not a current exchange value. His location clue says landlocked Southern Africa and names Zambia. The reveal identifies Zimbabwe, Shona and Harare as his hometown. The game distance table and real land borders must be distinguished.

Scoring on this replay

For this edition, correct-answer base points are multiplied by 0.7 for each earlier miss and rounded once to the nearest 10. A solve with all eight clues and two misses scores 1,470. Three misses or giving up instead use the nearest guess for the separate closeness score.
