Guess the Map 12: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Hate Mercator

[Kyriakos]

In relative terms or absolute?

I’m going to take a guess and say percentage of people on antidepressants?

It is an integer, and purple is the largest. Generally one would see this as positive.

There's nothing with orange or lower actually on the map, right?
Is it directly correlated with wealth?

 

[MaryKB]

Okay, gonna kill this one. This was more of a puzzle than intended. It's countries with smallest / largest population by alphabetical order.

So,

Andorra and Argentina
Barbados and Brazil

Etc

There's only one country that starts with O, Q and Y which is why Oman, Qatar and Yemen could be both min and max.

In Spanish, Germany starts with an A, which is why Argentina went grey and to replace Germany in G, Ghana is next.

Promise not to be abstract again, sorries for frustration. Suggest an open floor.

I think what might have helped was if every pair of countries was its own color, which would've helped us understand the groupings

I was trying to figure out what France, Germany, and Japan had in common, etc.

I noticed that too - I didn't make the map. I can't make out what the value for EU Kosovo is; probably Chad-level.
It could be related to cost of living along with wealth.

I know what it is.

My guess it's the amount of tourists each year.

 

[amadeus]

Wrong, Adam! Let us see if anyone can find a hint easily.

(It’s not so hard, just count by three.)

 

[Goodfella]

I think it's life expectancy. The purple countries are in the 80-85 bracket, the next tier is 75-80 bracket, and so on. However, life expectancy wouldn't be an integer, but the ranges I guess are.

 

[Kyriakos]

^Correct.



Map is for 2019 (can't link to the image from that site, apparently)

 

[Goodfella]

New Map:



The map is historical.

 

[Kyriakos]

Obviously 1919-1923 period. Colors could be league of nations related (?)
If @r16 wasn't only posting in congregation threads, he would have picked it up.

Paraguay looks miserable. Later on it stole a region from its other neighbor (who really should have tried to form an army, after the triple alliance war).

 

[r16]

as the map is already named this must be something else , maybe French businessmen all over the world ?

edit : Possibly had issues with the link ? ı was supposing (at sign) poster would show up in the alerts ? (Was passing by when ı saw the thread)

edit: ups , turns out there was a poster so nicknamed , changed it to ... poster .

 

[MaryKB]

Does it have anything to do with frogs?

 

[Kyriakos]

The absence of color in Africa signifies this doesn't have much to do with french.

 

[r16]

we are like seeing the attached files thing , with the file name , ı think , maybe two CFC posters , doesn't it show up to others ?

Why do you think it wouldn't show for others?
Mit has no power here

The file shows below cause it is uploaded as an attachment to CFC (not just a linked image from an external image hosting site).

 

[r16]

so , you are forcing me to win and come up with a map ?

 

[Kyriakos]

I am pretty sure the real answer isn't "historical frogs population"...
I mean, for starters, what would a historical frog even be?

 

[r16]

ah , cool .

 

[Goodfella]

That is a fake file name. It is not frogs.
