Answer and distance feedback
Leena represents Sri Lanka. Capital reference: Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, with Colombo as the commercial capital. 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.
- India: 38 km
- Maldives: 755 km
- Indonesia: 1,479 km
Clue explanation: what the guest describes
Leena shows a thengai thuruvi coconut scraper and describes full-moon public holidays, cricket, tea-growing hills and religious communities. The reveal confirms Sri Lanka and Tamil. Those personal examples are useful in combination; cricket or tea alone would fit more than one country. Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte is the administrative capital, while Colombo is the commercial capital.
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.
