How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a country with over 200 million people” — not generic advice.
Geography prompts punish the obvious: everyone reaches for the same famous places first.
Lead with Nigeria. It's the kind of answer that makes other players say 'I knew that!' after the reveal — which is exactly why they didn't type it. Pakistan works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
Watch out for India. It's valid, but validity isn't the game — rarity is. China has the same problem: everyone knows it, so everyone types it, so it scores like everyone.
The middle of the bank tells the real story: Indonesia lands in Rare while India sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Think in clusters, not singles. Indonesia, United States, and Pakistan sit in the same rarity band — knowing one should unlock the others when the clock is running.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 7 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
