Answer and distance feedback

Alex represents Norway. Capital reference: Oslo. 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.

Clue explanation: what the guest describes

Alex describes being outranked by a King's Guard penguin mascot, contrasting weather along a long country, reindeer and northern lights. Another clue contrasts oil and gas production with electric-car buying. The reveal confirms Norway and Norwegian. Alex is the display name; alexander is the directory. The summary does not turn the guest's car-market remarks into a current sales statistic.

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.
