How to play
A country is hidden somewhere on a scatter chart whose axes are two development indicators. Reason about where that country falls on each measure, place your point, and lock it in to score on how close you got.
Read the two statistical axes framing the chart
Estimate the hidden country's values and place your point there
Lock in your guess to score by distance from the true position
Closer placements bank more points
