Harrumph! I think the pic for this one is wrong.

Spoiler

There are 2 other islands as part of the Caymans—an old workmate worked there for a while. There's Grand C, Little C, and another I don't remember the name of. Pic only shows Grand C, which put me off Boo!

I am officially losing it. This is the 3rd in ~10 days where 'I know this' didn't translate into a one-liner

I beat Brian. Booyah!

 

[Brian Boru]

I beat Brian

You set the bar so high for yourself, the pressure must be immense!

For this one, you're obviously not aware of the many other countries shaped like this. So happy your reduced knowledge worked in your favor… this time.

How did you learn the shapes of the countries? And how can you be so good at that without knowing where all of the countries are?

 

[Brian Boru]

How did you learn the shapes of the countries?

Simply by seeing so many dozens of times—not a conscious learning. Same way most would probably recognize the shape of their own country—repeated exposure.

without knowing where all of the countries are?

Well I know where most of 'em are, I certainly know that better than shapes. I've always been into world affairs, I know or have known people in lots of different countries… Mainly just an interest followed for 5 decades

Islands are what mostly get me, especially the smaller Caribbean and South Pacific ones. Plus that bunch of countries jammed together on the west African coast, altho I nearly have those clear now.

Recall is actually an issue—I know a shape, but can't put the name on it. Like knowing a face…

 

[WoodenSaucer]

Mainly just an interest followed for 5 decades

That's my problem. I'm almost 50, but I haven't been interested in geography until a couple of months ago. I've just crammed what I know. I don't even know why I got interested. But it's nice hearing about a place on the news and knowing exactly where they're talking about.
