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.
