Answer and distance feedback
Isaac represents South Korea. Capital reference: Seoul. 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.
- North Korea: 0 km
- Japan: 57 km
- China: 298 km
- Russia: 453 km
Clue explanation: what the guest describes
Isaac shows a buchae fan and describes removing shoes indoors, elders eating first, apartment living and seasonal weather. He also discusses military service. His reveal identifies South Korea and says he moved to Australia at seven. His age, service-length and population remarks are guest clue narration, not current legal or demographic advice; this guide does not generalize them to every person.
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.
