Geography answers need to satisfy the requested place type and every qualifier. A capital is different from a country; a land border is different from a sea boundary; an ending sound is different from an ending letter.
Three dated checks
| Saved question | Recorded 100-point answer | Condition to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Country ending in N · Oct 2 | Gabon | Written final letter N |
| Country ending in an “ee” sound · Oct 5 | Eswatini | Pronunciation, not simply the letter E |
| Country sharing a land or maritime border with Russia · Aug 10 | United States | The wording includes maritime boundaries |
These are saved outcomes for those prompts. Removing “or maritime” would change the third condition; a remembered grade cannot repair that mismatch.
Do not attach permanent grades to regions
A country does not have one universal Krillion score. The examples above cannot establish that island countries, small states or a particular region always earn more. Check the curated tier rules and the dated sheet.
Spelling checks can eliminate a candidate quickly
- For an ending-letter prompt, read the final character of the name you plan to enter.
- For an ending-sound prompt, check its pronunciation instead.
- For a place-type prompt, verify that you are naming the requested kind of place.
For example, “Somalia” does not end in “land.” Do not treat an unrelated alternate or historical name as automatically recognized. Use the actual saved label when reviewing a past result.
A small geography rehearsal
- Find one geography prompt in Questions without revealing the answer groups.
- Write place type / boundary / candidate.
- Explain the qualifying connection, then compare the dated grade.
- Change one condition and reconsider the candidate, without inventing a score for your variation.
For broader preparation, use the category guide. Our recent historical practice is untimed.
Frequently asked questions
Do small countries always score more?
No. A recorded grade belongs to its exact question and date, not permanently to a country or region.
Is an ending-letter condition the same as an ending-sound condition?
No. Check the wording; the October 2 and October 5 saved questions demonstrate different conditions.
