Guess the map

[fizikis]

Seeing as best Korea is in the same group with China, Japan and South Korea, it has to be something cultural. Something food or language related?

 

[Heretic_Cata]

It looks like the lactose intolerance map except sorta different and with inverted colors.

 

[Algeroth]

Something with diseases?

 

[aukrest]

First thought was lactose intolerance but I say now

lactose tolerance

would explain mongolia and most others, but some things look a little different

 

[Meteor Man]

Nope, no lactose at all, not diseases nor number of children, and nothing to do with food or language.

 

[Incodcito]

Nope, no lactose at all, not diseases nor population growth.

Shot in the dark... by variety of surnames? Or something to do with math scores?

 

[Meteor Man]

No. Would make sense for Europe, but definitely not Asia.

 

[W|M]

Amount of silver?

 

[Meteor Man]

Or natural resources.

 

[KMRblue1027]

% of population that pass school on time?

 

[Algeroth]

Violent crime?

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Gun murders !

 

[Incodcito]

Access to healthcare(even if bad)?

 

[Skwink]

darker=more of deaths a day?

or maybe

darker=more births NOT taking place in a hospital?

 

[choxorn]

Does it have anything at all to do with birth or death rates?

 

[Meteor Man]

None of the above. And nothing to do with birth/death rates.

darker=more births NOT taking place in a hospital?

It should be the other way anyway, I think.

 

[Tee Kay]

Is it something to do with language?

 

[ilduce349]

It should be the other way anyway, I think.

No because all the African nations are quite dark.

 

[Incodcito]

Something to do with haplogroups?

 

[aukrest]

No because all the African nations are quite dark.

But so is the US and UK as well as a bunch of other countries where it would seem a bit too darkly colored
