Answer and distance feedback
Mattias represents Estonia. Capital reference: Tallinn. 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.
- Latvia: 0 km
- Russia: 0 km
- Finland: 61 km
- Sweden: 153 km
- Lithuania: 158 km
Clue explanation: what the guest describes
Mattias shows black rye bread, leib, and talks about sauna, digital elections and a small language community. He describes taking a ferry to his country's second-largest island, but the captions do not name that island. The final location clue mentions Latvia, Russia and the Baltic Sea. The reveal confirms Estonia and Estonian. These clues work together; sauna alone would not distinguish Estonia from nearby countries.
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.
