The Winning Strategy: My Path to Denmark
Here’s how I navigated from my starting point to the correct answer in just five guesses:
Guess 1: India 🇮🇳
Starting with a large Asian country to establish initial bearings. The very cool colors immediately indicated I was far from the target—time to shift to a different continent!
Guess 2: Romania 🇷🇴
Moving to Eastern Europe to test that region. Getting warmer! The color feedback showed I was heading in the right direction, suggesting somewhere in Europe was correct.
Guess 3: France 🇫🇷
Testing Western Europe to narrow down the exact location. Much warmer now! This indicated the target was likely in Northwestern or Northern Europe.
Guess 4: Ireland 🇮🇪
Checking the northwestern edge of Europe. Very hot! The intense color meant I was extremely close, suggesting the mystery country was in the immediate vicinity—likely Scandinavia or the nearby region.
Guess 5: Denmark 🇩🇰
Success! With Ireland showing such hot colors, I thought about nearby Northern European countries. Denmark, positioned just across from the British Isles and at the entrance to Scandinavia, was the perfect answer!
