Subject: wow! What are the chances of this?

Today's country was China. I knew none of the answers, so I decided to take a guess. I didn't think I'd do so well, but I actually got credit! Six out of ten, whooooo!!!

Well good for you, but try getting a ten letter word in Word Wizard (at the request of the daily challenge) when you get something like --v o u v x v w etc etc. Not much chance eh?

The chances of randomly guessing 5 or more out of 10 are 7.81%. Of course, those chances go up considerably if you play it in untimed mode...

For the Bus Ride, you are encouraged to play in HTML mode, and take the time to do the research (Terry even provides a useful starting link). It's more about the experience of exploring unfamiliar territory than about fast scores. When I first started touring, I used to spend several hours over some countries, just reading stuff.

I try not to randomly guess but to do a little research before playing. Having said that, rarely, I have guessed and come up greater than half correct. But I have also guessed and come up less than half correct. Guessing isn't a good strategy. I try not to use it.
