How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a country in Northern Europe” — not generic advice.
On geography prompts, the crowd clusters around capitals and tourist staples — the depth is in the second tier of places you actually know.
Your edge here is Estonia: specific, valid, and far from the crowd's first thought. If it feels slightly too obscure to say out loud, that's usually the sign it's worth real points. Bank Lithuania as your backup — same logic, different answer.
United Kingdom feels safe because it's obviously right. That's precisely why it's worth the least — safety is crowded. Germany is the same kind of comfortable, low-scoring pick.
The middle of the bank tells the real story: Finland lands in Rare while United Kingdom sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Think in clusters, not singles. Iceland, Denmark, and Lithuania sit in the same rarity band — knowing one should unlock the others when the clock is running.
Rated 3/5 difficulty with 12 banked answers — a balanced prompt where rare-answer thinking decides everything.
