- i tried breaking down / reacting to my most viral tikoks. something i realized more after i recorded was a lot of these guesses (especially 0.1) are very hard for me to explain because it's so much intution...making it hard to articulate. i'll work on my explanations for future...but hope u enjoy : )

His deadpan “no” in the first tik tok is what makes it so funny
pls i go rewatch that tiktok at least once every week just to for that tiny bit xDD
What else are you gonna do when she interrupts you in the middle of a game with a question? smh
It's so good.
and the fact that he looks like an anime villain
Also he just destroys whatever button he uses to go to the next round
Name a better duo:
"this is very much Brazilian dirt"
"the trees look Polish"
Fun fact. Ludwig is mostly reffering to pine trees. In Poland these trees were massively planted as a forest recovery program after ww2. Basically there are everywhere in Poland and I guess Ludwig noticed that after many times he spawned in Poland. Anyway it turned out to be a bad decision and other species should be planted.

The "no" in the first tiktok makes me laugh every fucking time. Paired with incredible GeoGuessr gameplay makes it easily my favorite tiktok.

You know this is natural and second nature to him when he naturaly says "Nice" on his reaction lmao
"nice, keep going" to his past self 😄 and even laughed at it after
i feel like a disclaimer should be said: u can’t really become this good at geoguessr by just memorizing stuff like this and watching these videos to learn. it takes playing geoguessr for a very long time to get this good. he stated in a previous video he picked up geoguessr again at the start of covid so
@@natejc93 i love veritasium, i’ll have to watch it
half true half not imo, i started early april 2022 and now its aug 2022 and im not close to his level but i am top 1500 world in comp and pick up most of what is going on in his videos in a similar time to him. It def takes time and the grind up doesnt happen from just watching some tip videos it comes from experience but it can be done in a shorter amount of time
It is memorizing "stuff like this" that takes a lot of time. Why should there be a disclaimer that says you need time to become good? Is that not the most obvious variable when getting good?
@@natejc93 yes I relate his video to expert geoguesrr players as well! It's so cool tbh
when did he claim this video would make you good?
im so happy to see geoguessr blowing up right now, it really deserves the recognition its getting
keep up the good content, cant wait for 100k

The devs really did an insane job to make the game 10 times better and more diverse after the first hype. They were truly able to unlock the huge potential that was there and just delivered. So happy for this...
Geoguessr already gets enough attention it deserves, considering you compare it with how popular the game was in 2015.

this guy would be able to get kidnapped and left in the desert, and he'd know his exact latitude and longitude just from a single shrub

breaking down your thought process for the 0.1 second decisions is like some anime-level time dilation.

I'm not even a geoguessr pro, barley made it to master tier and I can confirm the thing with brazilian dirt. You can just feel it through your screen

As someone with family from Recife, that red ugly ass dirt is very common on the outskirts, I hate it
I have the exact same thing with the countries that I know particularly well. It's kinda freaky that you can "feel" where a photo was taken just by looking at the foliage and road surface but it just works. Similar to how we can tell when something "doesn't sound right" or how AI algorithms learn to distinguish between different things.
It's all about recognition.
It happens to me as well, usually in Lesotho
Yup. The stuff about brazillian soil he said is all right, up northeast and in some parts of the southeast with states like Bahia and Minas Gerais respectively there really is a lot of red soil.
I wonder if you could train an AI to recognize the same patterns
0:24 As a Thai, I wouldn’t have known that it was Thailand, if there was no text on the sign.
You are insane Rainbolt
Isn’t really insane, geoguessr repeats images and places so after a long time you will be able to memorise a lot of the places like memorising flags
Yeah same
@@F_4k3 well, still insane that they put so much time in this game
@@F_4k3 not possible, there are like 50k photos and continuously growing...
what? he literally said he recognized it because theres a text sign in thai. without knowing the camera metas he would have just guessed any southeast asian country..

5:53 that kind of foliage and low-lying trees/brush is actually very indicative of eastern canada. Novascotia, PEI, Newfoundland, ect because it's a lot rockier there, particularly around the coasts, you don't get big trees like in the rest of Canada. You can also tell it's not BC (the other coast) because being further away from where the english settled and across the rockies, it wasn't hit as hard by loggers as well being on that side of the rockies kept a lot of rain and weather from passing out of BC leading to big natural forests.

I remember I got into it because of geowizard
I smiled so hard at the concept of "Brazilian dirt" because I immediately knew exactly what you meant. The orangy-clay colour is unmistakeable.
I think what is going on in here is pattern recognition. A subconscious process that is very hard to explain because one does not really think about the small details the brain uses to come up with the educated guesses. Then there are the conscious learned things like with the cars, roads signs and electric poles. This is to validate feelings like "It feels like Peru", because indeed your subconsious brain saw the patterns invisible to your conscious brain and gave you the feeling of it being Peru.
Veritasium has a nice video about the subject of experts, which in my opinion is exactly what is happening here.
Greetings from the Nordics
ye he actually states the same guess himself in another video
The same goes for botanical recognition for me. When you study the characteristics of plants/fungi, by family or genus, you begin to recognize them unconsciously even if you don't remember what it is specifically, you can't explain it but you feel it.
The human mind is incredible.
As a screening agent working at an airport it’s the same with X-ray. I remember training so much to detect explosives or parts of it that I could tell in one second where it was or if there were no explosives in the image
It may be the same reason we can train an AI to detect patterns without even knowing what we're looking for or what the AI is doing
Very interesting to see your thought process! In those TikToks, it looks like magic - but after you explained it, it kinda seems more logical… but still magic
@@ganishnutinishnu7370 Ok, you assume it’s fake, I assume it’s real. Neither of us can prove that the other one is wrong - now we’re even.
@@ganishnutinishnu7370 it would be harder for him to be a cheater at this point because the amount of content he’s put out and how many tournaments he’s been in
How would he even cheat? It would take longer to look up the location than it takes him to find the answer.
"I've looked on this road millons of times while i was studying Australia" that one got me 😂😂😂😂
As an half Brazilian, yes, the brazilian dirt, especially in the south of the country is very red and recognizable if you see it just once in your life
Other people: "How could he know it was brazilian just looking at the dirt! that's impossible!"
Brazilians: "Yeah, that dirt is very brazilian indeed"
I think it’s red almost everywhere. The iron in the dirt makes it very distinctively red.
It isn't red in the south, at least I've never seen it
Sul? Mais nordeste e uma parte do centro oste mesmo
@@thejohn1 até no interior de São Paulo é assim
As a brazilian the dirt thing is very true, red soil is pretty common especially in the south/southeast because of ancient lava flows
In the south??? How? Never seen any dirt like this in my whole life, dirt here is kinda dark, usually.
nada a ver com lava kkkk, é um solo lixiviado pela chuva, a cor vermelha é por causa do ferro
@@KarlMarxBR700 Pelo que sei são as duas coisas, rochas basálticas bem antigas e ferro.
O oeste catarinense e a maior parte do paraná tem solo muito vermelho. Não sei da onde vc é, mas talvez seja muito novo ainda pra conhecer a região.
Honestly the middlewest is the only part of the country you’ll have a harder time finding this type of dirty.
I just want to thank you for taking time to explain the guesses you make, it is genuinely so educational and entertaining; one of my favorite parts about watching you. I've been playing the game and watching content creators of it for over a year now, you're without a doubt one of the best I've come across. Thank you for making the videos and streaming, I wish you all the success!
It's funny, you have a hard time recognizing Newfoundland but since I live there I can easily tell it apart from the rest of Canada. It's the short, windswept conifers mixed with a scattered ash or birch tree, paired with the rugged terrain and poor road conditions. Also eastern NFLD looks very different than western. The eastern part near the Avalon peninsula where most coverage is will often have small to medium lichen-covered boulders jutting out of the moss-lands.
Also the word "newfie" is never used in reference to the land and more so what we call our dialect of english.
@@abrasivepaste Other parts of Canada call people from Newfoundland "newfies". I assume that's why he called the land itself newfie.
@@kyojin7177 you're right, it is what we're called outside of newfoundland, but I've never heard the actuall province called 'newfie' in my life. You'll never hear someone say "I'm from newfie".
I’m from here and pretty damn distinct but I’ve surprisingly got places like Alaska, BC, Yukon, etc. and guessed NL.. the road conditions are probably the a huge factor there lol
@@abrasivepaste yeah, I don’t think they’re even aware that’s a word, because they also refer to other countries using similar language
Worst thing is. I live in northeast Brazil and that does indeed look like Northeast Brazil. It is specifically Brazil's semi-arid climate, the Caatinga. That's from north of Bahia up to South/Middle Piaui or from northeast Bahia, through Pernambuco, all the way to Rio Grande do Norte. I identified it due to the fence and tree, however, not the color of the dirt.
It’s genuinely so fascinating to watch you break down all of these videos! You’re entertaining to watch, and it’s so cool to see more and more people get into geoguesser!!
galaxy brain rainbolt can just guess based on "vibes"
This guy might as well be kidnapped and dropped off in the Sahara desert and he'll be like "Yep, definintely northwestern Sahara desert dirt, there is a small town a few miles up north"
The dirt/soil geo-guessing still blows my mind even though you are explaining it. Love the video Rainbolt!
Rainbolt looks like every second of every day he is being reminded of his past trauma and he's trying to hold it all together
omg how does he do it
You should look at this dude named Stique who plays in a lot of his tournaments, he is so much better than rainbolt imo
The master himself
Yeah, he is, though I like rain bolt bc of his speed guessing and his personality
I love how you repeat what you have said, it is so funny to me for some reason. Would love a part 2!
I have some insight on why 0.1s is possible!
Visual memory can be analysed in 3 stages iirc from my intro psychology class.
There is a fraction of a second where you have access to basically *the entirety of the visual information you saw.*
Then most of that is lost and the "important bits" transferred to working memory, which is about 20s.
Then, the tiny amount you chose to remember about the image gets stored in your mid term memory.
Think of it like a "cache" on a CPU, then only parts of it get transferred to RAM, and then after 30s or so an even smaller amount of it gets stored to hard drive.
The important part is: In that first moment just after seeing the image, you still have basically the entire thing available to you, before it rapidly decays at an exponential rate.
Which means that if you have the experience / are good enough to make use of and process information within that first half a second or so, it is actually surprisingly "easy" to do something like this.
geoguessr tourney idea, i would love to see a mode where you have teams of 3 but the team score averages the best two players (throw away the bottom). on a few of the guesses we've seen so far, including the second guess in the score would wildly change the outcome. makes precise hedging more important as opposed to "just cover as many regions as possible"
Good idea
Yeah, the hedging meta is fine for now but i'd like to see it change to more precise guesses :)
This was a really cool explanation for the details you look for. Thanks for sharing this!
Please do more of these videos its genuinely such a fun thing to watch plus I learn a little more when watching these videos deff helps
Rainbolt you are such a genuinely nice person god bless you.
It’s amazing looking in to your thought process when it comes to these. Also really helps as someone that’s easing their way into learning too!
This is exactly what I was hoping you would do. I love your content it's super fascinating. You going to break a million before the end of the year. Congratulations
As someone living in New Zealand, here might be some additional knowledge for you: Harakeke, or flex plant only grows in New Zealand, and they grow literally everywhere, included in that image. So if you see it, it cant be chile
brb introducing an invasive species to chile just to fuck with geoguessr players.
So amazing yet so humble, I’m glad I got to find him through Ludwig, will be following for a long time with so much oleasure
rain bolt repeating himself "we'll take that" has something reassuring and calming
Idk why but it's so funny when he talks and syncs up with his past self
Thanks for all the explaining, really helps us who are trying to get into geoguessr
this dude literally spends more time waiting for it to load than actually playing the game
you look like you run really fast
why tf is this so accurate
How else do you think he memorized the world so fast
"my secret is actually that I'm the flash and I just run around the world until I find the location that matches the image"
i love that you say nice to yourself at a guess then the video also says nice
Or how you just repeat what your past said lmfao
this guy is the definition of "why travel? I already know what the whole world looks like!"
This is such a crazy talent to have, and it’s insane to watch. I don’t know how you even get this good, and it’s crazy how much this guy knows
I'm from Brazil. Everything he said about the brazilian dirt makes sense to me. It's a kind of unspoken knowledge, but it's there.
Your my favorite guy on CZcams, Tiktok, Twitter whatever, people like you for your amazing skill and now i see two that you're very honest about everything. keep going!
If I see orange-ish dirt in Geoguessr, it's most often Brazil, Cambodia, or Uganda. It's usually pretty easy to distinguish between those three countries unless it's completely offroad and there are no signs or people visible.
The number one weird thing I look for in rounds is recycling bins since they quite often have readable town names on them although that's more to tell which town or city I'm in, which country the round is in is usually obvious before I'm at the stage where I'm trying to read town names off of bins.
i love hearing your thought process on this!! my toxic trait is thinking i’m picking up how to play just by watching your tourneys and stuff LOL
Would love to see more videos like this explaining your guesses. It’s very interesting to hear you try to breakdown split second instinct into rational thought
Hope you continue to post more on CZcams! I really love watching you play/listening to your commentary.
ur content is awesome and rlly entertaining, looking forward to what u put out in the future
what gets me is how much knowledge you gain about different places on earth by doing this - how many facts you were spitting about all of these countries.
that's a very powerful asset
“this pebble on the side of the road spoke chile or new zealand”

9:11 I def got North American desert vibes but i probably would’ve leaned Arizona. maybe if there was a yellow tint to everything I would’ve said mexico
You've gotten really good at pattern recognition and using your intuition based on patterns you've noticed in the past.
When you explain what you're seeing then it's easier to see how fast you get it, especially having spent so much time playing the game. I'm crap at that game but if there was a "Computer parts guessr" then I'm sure I'd be top 10
14:11 I'm Brazilian, and the correct point coincidentally is in the state (Paraíba) that I live near my city (Patos), as soon as I saw the image I knew it was here near my city.
This was both very fun and entertaining so please do more
Love to see people WHO are great at things say that everything is not first try because its easy to think that if all you see is highlights so big up to you!
As a Brazilian, I can confirm. That DOES look like Brazilian dirt.
Edit: in BOTH instances.
Bro you are closing in on 100k already thats insane keep up the good work man
Watched you since the begining
cool vid!! i love vids where i get actual explanations to stuff i love listening. thank you :)
I know its weird, but being a brazilian, i can recognize the dirt, idk, the dirt here is pretty distinctive, its kind of a vibe thing indeed.
Loved the video, craving for a part 2!
As someone who won my school’s geography bee and nearly made it to the finals of the state bee this guy is just on a completely different level. I can probably do the same thing as him with countries outlines but no way I could do this.

@@legendkyd2474 I know them like I can literally recognize them as fast as I can recognize that A is the the letter A. If only I was this good at something useful in life like coding or business I could be rich but no it had to be geography.
I remember like 4 or 5 years ago I used to watch captaindparklez casually play geoguesser and even he picked up on Brazilian dirt being very red
you explaining that you make mistakes too was an unexpected wholesome spike out of no where. besides that you are definitely a genius to do what you do.
Echolalia. When he speaks on the left, he often subconsciously mouths his own words while watching.
people say "go touch grass" but having this knowledge of the world is worth the learning
really helpful, thanks for breaking it down!
i love seeing ur thought process :D amazing work man
It’s insane how you can make it sound so easy. Your thought process is not only incredibly clear, but the fact that you can take in that much detail that quickly, that perfectly, AND remember your exact thoughts to explain it so clearly, it’s superhuman.
I’m so happy to know that robots have not reached geoguessr yet
You should try a challenge where you get viewers to send in photos of their travels and you guess where they are when they took it. Would be a really cool way to interact with the community and I think would be a difficult challenge.
We don't need another GeoWizard, that's literally his thing

I'm brazilian and I can confirm the brazilian northeast has that kind of dirt 😅 That region is very very dry because the temperatures go easily up to 45°C and sometimes it doesn't rain for MONTHS! Yes, they suffer with no water, no plantations... in some regious it even looks like a deserted place.
