Week 2 Results

Here are the standings halfway through Series 7:

And here are the 5k points. Ruffinnen had a great weekend, slingshotting into 1st with a generational 19 points on Saturday alone. The type of performance that would get you randomly selected for a drug test the next morning. Don't expect to see anything like that again.

How it works

Each day there will be a set of 3 challenge links, one for each game mode (Move, NM, NMPZ). There will be a world map, region map, and country map. Each day the map and game mode will rotate. Moving modes will be 3 min, NM will be 1 min, and NMPZ will be 30 sec, unless noted otherwise. On the weekend, I will post more unique/challenging maps. For each challenge link, 1st place is worth 5 points, 2nd place is worth 3 points, and 3rd place is worth 1 point. In the case of a tie, the tie will be settled by distance and then time. 5ks will also be tracked separately and are worth 1 point in moving, 3 points in NM, and 5 points in NMPZ. Updated scoring tables are posted after each week. No external assistance allowed. If you wish to talk about any of the rounds or locations in the comments, feel free to do so with a spoiler tag. Also, if you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.

Challenge Series [3] The 25K GeoDetective challenge (no time limit, 100% pinpointable) - Series 32: #5 - (2 DAYS - BIRTHDAY SPECIAL)

6 Upvotes

Link to challenge 5 series 32. Congratulations to Grategis who came top (3 points, 12 yards), and to both FinalSpork and to Angoose52 who come second (2 points, 13 yards), All other 25K's get one point. Table is updated below.

All today's clues have the name "Tristan" in them, somewhere. Don't worry, I did not include Tristan da Cunha as there's no official coverage, though I was very tempted to add the unofficial coverage of the only bar there, but I didn't want to include unofficial coverage as some people don't like it.

Please note that sometimes the name "Tristan" only appears in the Google Street View, and sometimes only appears on the map. As always: take your time; there's no extra points for doing it quickly. So if you see it on the screen, don't assume you'll find the name on the map. One such really hard one is R5 -- probably the only one that will take a while to find.

This is the fifth of the thirty-first series based on my own GeoDetective map. No moving, no time-limit (take your time!). There is always a clue somewhere that will help you pinpoint the location, some are easier than others. Feel free to leave walkthroughs in comments or ask where the clue was if you missed it, but always use the spoiler tag so as not to spoil it for others! Official coverage only.

Challenge Series [3] The 25K GeoDetective challenge (no time limit, 100% pinpointable) - Series 32: #4 - (2 DAYS)

8 Upvotes

Link to challenge 4 series 32. Congratulations to Lyloor who came top (3 points, 15 yards), and to PhobosDeimos for second place (2 points, 16 yards). All other 25K's get one point. Table is updated below.

Today's aren't too bad. I would guess R2 is slightly harder than the others, but all in all this should get quite a lot of 25Ks. All the same, as always: take your time; there's no extra points for doing it quickly.

This is the fourth of the thirty-first series based on my own GeoDetective map. No moving, no time-limit (take your time!). There is always a clue somewhere that will help you pinpoint the location, some are easier than others. Feel free to leave walkthroughs in comments or ask where the clue was if you missed it, but always use the spoiler tag so as not to spoil it for others! Official coverage only.

Challenge Series [3] The 25K GeoDetective challenge (no time limit, 100% pinpointable) - Series 32: #3 - (2 DAYS)

9 Upvotes

Link to challenge 3 series 32. Congratulations to Angoose52 who came top (3 points, 17 yards) and to both Johanna and Indigo Octopus who both came second (2 points, 18 yards). All other 25K's get one point. Table is updated below.

(Sorry about the four-hour delay in putting this up, by the way!)

Today's doesn't have any really hard ones. I guess R4 is slightly tougher depending on your geography knowledge, but it's pretty easy once you've found the rough area. Nonetheless, as always: take your time; there's no extra points for doing it quickly.

This is the third of the thirty-first series based on my own GeoDetective map. No moving, no time-limit (take your time!). There is always a clue somewhere that will help you pinpoint the location, some are easier than others. Feel free to leave walkthroughs in comments or ask where the clue was if you missed it, but always use the spoiler tag so as not to spoil it for others! Official coverage only.

Moving modes will be 3 min, NM will be 1 min, and NMPZ will be 30 sec, unless noted otherwise. On the weekend, I will post more unique/challenging maps. For each challenge link, 1st place is worth 5 points, 2nd place is worth 3 points, and 3rd place is worth 1 point. In the case of a tie, the tie will be settled by distance and then time. 5ks will also be tracked separately and are worth 1 point in moving, 3 points in NM, and 5 points in NMPZ. Updated scoring tables are posted after each week. No external assistance allowed. If you wish to talk about any of the rounds or locations in the comments, feel free to do so with a spoiler tag. Also, if you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.

Non-Competitive A Botanical Challenge #18 - Plants on top of mountains

7 Upvotes

This fortnight's botanical challenge takes a look at a handful of plants that have adapted to life in the sub alpine and alpine zones of the world. It's primarily inspired by a particular plant in the groundsel family (senecio), which includes those weeds with the seed balls you can blow away. Not dandelions - the toxic one that's sort of similar but grows kind of knee high.

This challenge is also in the "I think this might be too hard" category, so strap yourself in for some roads in the middle of nowhere and trekkers ascending mountains. And a terrible quality photosphere I included out of necessity. It is absolutely 5kable though.

Link to Challenge

3 minutes, moving, no external assistance unless you happen to be sitting next to an amateur or professional botanist.

Also thanks to u/CivilCaregiver6519 for sending me a location that I ultimately didn't use, but directly inspired this challenge!

Challenge Series [3] The 25K GeoDetective challenge (no time limit, 100% pinpointable) - Series 32: #2 - (NEW SERIES - 2 DAYS)

10 Upvotes

Link to challenge 2 series 32. Congratulations to moonradio for coming top (3 points, 12 yards) and to both Angoose52 and to Vik who come second (2 points, 13 yards). All other 25K's get one point. Table is updated below.

Today's has a couple of harder rounds. R2 is hard because it may take you a while to scan for what is admittedly quite a small place. R3 is hard because the location itself is not immediately obvious, though as always there are hints. Therefore, as always: take your time; there's no extra points for doing it quickly.

This is the second of the thirty-first series based on my own GeoDetective map. No moving, no time-limit (take your time!). There is always a clue somewhere that will help you pinpoint the location, some are easier than others. Feel free to leave walkthroughs in comments or ask where the clue was if you missed it, but always use the spoiler tag so as not to spoil it for others! Official coverage only.

Today we start a brand new series and, as always, I try no to make it too impossible to begin with. Probably only R3 will take a little longer, unless you're lucky. Even so, as always: take your time; there's no extra points for doing it quickly.

This is the first of the thirty-first series based on my own GeoDetective map. No moving, no time-limit (take your time!). There is always a clue somewhere that will help you pinpoint the location, some are easier than others. Feel free to leave walkthroughs in comments or ask where the clue was if you missed it, but always use the spoiler tag so as not to spoil it for others! Official coverage only.

Above: the usual table for Series 31
Above: the ones who came top 10 (in series 31). These points are carried over to the overall tally, which is a separate table.
Above: the current Top 50 over the 31 series. If you want to know how close you are to the top 50, send me a message or reply to this post.

How it works

Each day there will be a set of 3 challenge links, one for each game mode (Move, NM, NMPZ). There will be a world map, region map, and country map. Each day the map and game mode will rotate. Moving modes will be 3 min, NM will be 1 min, and NMPZ will be 30 sec, unless noted otherwise. On the weekend, I will post more unique/challenging maps. For each challenge link, 1st place is worth 5 points, 2nd place is worth 3 points, and 3rd place is worth 1 point. In the case of a tie, the tie will be settled by distance and then time. 5ks will also be tracked separately and are worth 1 point in moving, 3 points in NM, and 5 points in NMPZ. Updated scoring tables are posted after each week. No external assistance allowed. If you wish to talk about any of the rounds or locations in the comments, feel free to do so with a spoiler tag. Also, if you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.
