i think it really cannot be overstated that his clips are just that, clips. these aren't just random games he posts. he's playing over and over again until he gets a good seed that is worthy to post.

To be fair you do realize they’re also continuous games where he’s clicking through rounds unedited. It doesn’t take away from how impressive it is to do 5 accurate 0.1 second guesses in rapid succession. It’s impressive again because most people don’t have the knowledge to pinpoint any place in the world with one photo regardless, unless it had the eiffel tower or something. It might be explained with knowing context clues such as camera generation, the shape of the sign, the redness of the dirt, the coverage, etc., but simply knowing all of that and being able to put it together to know the exact location will always be impressive to anyone. I guess the shocker is that most people don’t play geoguessr, and even fewer people are part of the hardcofe niche of it.

Great video, great editing! Very entertaining!

I think this questioning of .1 second gameplay is typical for a broader problem. Many people (I guess myself included, at times) try to explain away things they do not think they can achieve themselves. Be it saying that Usain Bolt or Magnus Carlsen are superhuman or that .1 second Geoguessr is likely cheated. The huge problem I have with that is that it completely discredits the hard work and dedication of others. Be it the tough training routine (including intense work on your own mental) by Bolt or Carlsen, or the 100k games played by Rainbolt. Give these people some actual respect for what they do! Of course, your video wonderfully demonstrates how to properly question outlandish achievements: trying to understand and emulate them.

Any recommendations for guides to getting better at Geoguessr? Ones that will give you very particular information like you did - for example, the black tape on the end of the roof rack being unique to only Ghana. That's all so fascinating to me. Do you all figure it out individually by trial and error and just a huge amount of exposure through playing games, or is there a database of clues that can be learned right away? Great video.

It is not that simple. There are numerous examples of top players proving their skills with live scrutiny, but still cheating in the "offline" scenario in the rush for next level insane goals. Even at the highest level the frustration or grind and wasted opportunities can drag you to the dark side.

whaaaaat? you are friends? I just waisted 16 mins of my life hoping for drama! No, fr, keep up the great content and all the best for the WC qualifier! I would really love an explanation for the pixelated black white stuff, especially with things like only looking at the sky. I don't think it is cheated of course, but having played around 400 games, I really cannot fathom how that would work

Commented this on an older video, but thought it might be more useful on your newest one: I dig the style you're doing with these videos. Maybe just a wee tip, you might want to mimic the style Wirtual uses with his main channel (would definitely take more editing but it will grow your audience exponentially, and I'm all for that)

2:25 You have Yellow City signs in Germany as well.

GREAT choice of background music!

I always find it hard to explain to people how it's impressive what geoguessr players do, but that it's not the same as if you just dropped them in a genuinely random location, and how there are lots of photo metas, location metas, and vibes based on likelihood of a location. This is a good video to explain it, great job 😊

here before the title makes the video blow up

Great Video! i think you deserve way more views and subscribes!

And it's not just tens of thousands of games played, it's also countless hours of studying maps, metas, others' gameplay, and community knowledge, etc. Someone else likened it to to sleight of hand magic: skill, practise and knowing your audience.

All of the pro-player probably have some form of eidetic memory. Furthermore if you look at how they play 0.1sec its almost always by looking at the middle of the screen, its just peripheral vision. The images lingers inside the short term memory for a couple of seconds and its possible for them to remember details without actively looking at them. Anyway I think its great that Oscar is honest about them grinding for hours sometimes to get that highlight. Its not like they get that every single round. Still not sure how blinky is doing that, remembering millions of small details, locations, phonecodes, etc. must be one insanely gifted human. Would be interested to see a video of oscar explaining some of the 25k blinky got.

I’m a decent player, but not great. I can definitely get some of those 0.1s rounds at least down to the country. However, I usually watch these on my phone, where my eyes’ peripheral vision takes in 80% that isn’t the GeoGuessr screen - it’s my table, my walls, etc. If I sat at a large screen (and that’s one secret they never tell you: have a high quality, large screen) my entire field of view would be the round. That would make it 5x easier to solve the round than it is on the phone. And, yes, the image lingers in the mind after it’s gone from the screen.

Interesting vid, but it needs a brief intro explaining actually why people think Rainbolt might have cheated and if there are any genuine major accusations against him. From the title and without a proper intro I was expecting this vid to then be news of some recent accusations or controversy that has just appeared and made zi8gzag weighing in with his thoughts necessary. Also, someone viewing this video for the first time without any prior knowledge of who Rainbolt even was would have been completely lost and confused for the first 5 mins of the vid as well as who he is and what he does is given scant mention.

thank you zigzag for exposing this cheater. i have called the cops on him

Problem is making content for people that may as well call this magic. It's great, but you'll get a ton of them saying "you MUST be cheating. There's no way!" My reaction was to get on the game, open up plonk it and grind 😂

People just forgot how a lot of people put a lot of effort to study this kind of thing and also memorize and internalize geohints.

We need this 1vs1

more educational content mr zigzag 💪💪

The video we have all been waiting for

He sometimes displays images with coloured boxes/lines overlayed. That is a military imint ai.

I see Rainbolt not entering competitions or being competetive top Geoguessr player like, those guys who make "throw the ball into the cup" vines with 1000+ takes aren't faking it. There's no sneaky trickery going on, but they're not going to join a live competetive 'accurate ball throwing' competition

I don't play Geoguesser at all, and even I said Iceland when the Iceland pic showed up.

This is the most explaining youve done in a long time, and its not even on geoguessr explained...

Even if he would cheat, he knows where you live.

Ayo!! Rainbolt making videos about Rainbolt cheating in Geogessr!!!!

I used to immediately assume he was cheating, especially when he was first releasing those shorts where he finds shit in like .2 seconds or used the dumbest tricks. And then he started doing it live, and I finally understood this dude had skills.

13:38 I think the raw probability is a little better than that. Firstly, the first one of the 5 doesn't really count as you wouldn't play through the game if you got it wrong on the first one you would just start again immediately so it's really just about getting 4 in a row which is something like 1/400,000. Each go would take about 30 seconds so this would take over a year to get if you did it for around 8 hours per day and you had literally no skills whatsoever. It's not hugely relevant however (other than setting a kind of worst case scenario, maximum length of time) as he is not making a random choice as he is actively trying to achieve 5/5 so it depends more on how good can someone get at identifying mud. An analogy: For example, if I had a bag with 96 blue balls and 4 red balls and you could look in the bag, you could easily identify a red ball 5/5 times every time even though the random odds are 1/400000 of getting 5 in a row. This is because you would be able to identify a red ball every time without fail. Seeing a picture of mud is like looking in the bag and it's just a question of how good can you get at identifying the country and the better you get the more massive the changes. If he gets to being right 1/10 times (as opposed to random chance 1/24), that massively improves the overall chance to 1/10000 and the required time to about 10 days (working 8 hours per day). If he gets to being right 1/5 times, it would take about 5 hours. You managed to get 4 in 5 when playing so I think it is very realistic that he did that 5/5 identifying countries by the mud legitimately and I think if you wanted to get 5/5 then you would get it comfortably in under 5 minutes (if you reset after you get the first one wrong).
