Answer and distance feedback

Béla represents Hungary. Capital reference: Budapest. 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

Béla explains name days and shows Túró Rudi. He describes two rivers, a large holiday lake, thermal baths, goulash and familiar inventions. The captions do not name the rivers or lake, so this summary does not insert names. The landlocked location and seven neighboring countries help narrow the field. The reveal confirms Hungary and Hungarian; the accent in Béla is retained.

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.
