Guess the map 13: Mercator maps are cool, actually

Numbers of cars in a household?

Base Jumping?

Numbers of cars in a household?

No

Base Jumping?

No, but it is in the broad area of Sports.

 

[EnglishEdward]

Baseball stadiums?

 

[Birdjaguar]

Olympic medalists?

 

[mitsho]

Baseball stadiums?

No, but you are right with your American bias, since if you count up all the cases, the big big majority is from the US.

Olympic medalists?

No, but the cases are people.

 

[Samson]

Origin of players in the superbowl?

 

[mitsho]

You are now so close I'm wondering if I should solve.

Origin of players in the superbowl?

Good start, the first five words are correct, but you need to move on sport over.

 

[EnglishEdward]

Origin of players in the American Football leagues.

 

[Samson]

I do not really have time to make a map ATM, so I will leave it to others to guess american sport competitions.

NBA

Giannis is busy ruining his career by staying at the Bucks.

Yes, origin of players active in the NBA, blue is had at least one active player in the past, but not anymore.

It's a bit unfair since there's obviously a correlation with population, see the dark red American states which just correspond to Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Texsas I think. North Carolina being the outliner there. And you can make a lot of jokes about the whiteness of Vermont, but in the end, it's just a low population state. The population correlation doesn't work as well outside the US, since Basketball isn't as popular everywhere else

@Kyriakos, you up

 

[Kyriakos]

I think I will declare open floor

 

[EnglishEdward]

I suppose I shall volunteer:

 

[Samson]

Is there any order?

 

[mitsho]

So grey is the standard and all the other colours are deviations?

First I thought something about politics (i.e. constitution) or about natural resources, but then there just seems to be too much grey. Can you confirm that grey isn't simply "no data"?

 

[Samson]

Am I (colour)blind? It looks like only greenland and western sahara are grey, most places are green to me.

I am thinking something to do with how much conflict / certainty there is about if they are a country.

 

[Kyriakos]

^ Libya looks very peaceful

Pale baize-ish (it's not really gray, imo, too dark and colorful) may be 0?

 

[EnglishEdward]

There is no order amongst the colours.

Each colour, including grey, represents a category.

I believe that white (e.g. Greenland and Western Sahara) represents no data.

I admit that the (dark) grey and green are very similar and likely indistinguishable on many small devices.

I am thinking something to do with how much conflict / certainty there is about if they are a country.

That is indeed relevant to two of the colour categories.

^ Libya looks very peaceful

Remember the date.

 

[mitsho]

Yeah, I wasn't talking about the white / light grey Greenland and Western Sahara, but the first category which is also the biggest. The dark grey one.
