How Hard Was It?

Difficulty rating

Burundi rates 4 of 5 — Hard. The rating comes from land area and land-neighbour count, weighted 65/35 toward size: it ranks 145 of 176 by area and has 3 land neighbours.

The fastest opening guess

DR Congo was the strongest opener against this answer. From there the target reads 706 km away, a distance shared by only 5 other candidates — so a single guess could have cut the field to 6 countries.

The value of an opening guess swings enormously depending on where the answer sits. Our opening-country analysis ranks every candidate on average performance rather than one lucky day.
