Not quite.

Then you should have said, close, but not saying that put us off.

I figured the "quite" part was good enough.

number of billionaires by country?

 

[W|M]

Brazil has a lot more billionaires than Greece.

 

[chegel]

It is not billionaires.
The light grey means 0 btw, as a small hint.

Metro systems?

 

[W|M]

Again, Brazil has more than zero, and there are a lot more metro systems than would be depicted on the map.

So there are 3 levels:

0 / none = light gray
some / medium = gray
many / high = black

High countries:
Australia
France
Germany
Greece
UK
USA

Medium Countries:
Belgium
Canada
China
Italy
Finland
Holland
Japan
Mexico
South Korea
Spain
Sweden

Perhaps you should stop being rude and actually help guess..

Part of the guessing process is getting rid of definitely wrong answers.

Does it have anything to do with award winners?

 

[nocho]

Summer olympics held so far, dark more than once.

 

[classical_hero]

That makes perfect sense.

 

[chegel]

Summer olympics held so far, dark more than once.

Yes, that is the answer.

 

[nocho]

Open floor.

 

[Artifis]

Alrighty. I'll do this one. =)

 

[EnglishCrusader]

Internet usage?

 

[peter grimes]

I think it's going to be something like birthplaces of people who have done something...

maybe people who have gone into space??
But I would have guessed that some Aussies have been in space.
