GTC Puzzle ( Trial Version )

All right, Fusi is in full form so yet another new idea for a GTC. THis one is for the intelligent guessers.

I will a think of a city in my mind. You got to make random guesses and I will rate your guess based on the following criteria :

1 point - If it is in the right continent
1 point - if it is in the right country
1 point - if your guess is a coastal city/landlocked is on par with the city in my mind.
1 point - if your city is roughly within 200 miles of my city


But the trick is, I will only rate your guess, but will not tell why you got the points. So you got to read a few rates to figure that out for yourself

For example :

city in my mind : Liverpool

guess 1. Athens ?
my rating : 2/5 ( 1 for continent, 1 for guessing its in the coast just like Liverpool or in other cases landlocked like the missing city )

guess 2 . Glasgow ?
my rating : 3/5 ( 1 for continent, 1 for country, 1 for closeness )

By comparing both, you can deduce the country must be in Europe.. but also get the additional clue that it is either in UK or Greece and most probably in the coast.

..and so on..

For clarification : North America = includes central American countries upto Panama and the Caribbean
Oceania = Australia/NZ adn pacific islands


One guess per post please. And no consecutive guesses

And when do you get 5/5 ? When you get the right answer

Good luck>
