I don’t understand what he’s doing but congrats on his success. i know you explain it in the OP but I’m still too dumb.

Also tell these kids to quit saying “We’ll take that.”

Yea .. you will.. bc that’s literally the schedule.
They say that in card breaks and everything else. Yes they’ll take that bc that is what you have.
But for real congrats to OPs son. Living his dream.

Nah, its simple: He basically learns about different geographies/topographies/ladnmarks, etc. and uses that knowledge to determine where any random picture/thing is in the world.


He takes a picture, looks at the background, does it have mountains? What kind of trees? What time of the year? Etc. Etc. Uses all the little details to figure stuff out.

Been following him since this thread started - so amazingly talented and his videos are always entertaining. I’m guessing the military or the 3-letter agencies have come knocking on his door by now.

Yeah man, very simple. You should challenge him. I bet you’d do well.

Your job is to make sure the kid keeps his feet on the ground. Don’t give me a bunch of shite about him being humble; this will eat him up with arrogance if he is not counseled to resist it. Good luck.

You’re totally right but the comment still comes off kinda weird loony.

So weirdly entertaining.
His knowledge is pretty unfathomable really. Has a great quirky-cool demeanor.

As mentioned the concept is pretty simple. They get shown a picture of someplace on the globe and they use context clues like signage, cars, people, landscape, flora/fauna, and etc to guess as quickly and as close as possible to that point on earth.

For example, if I showed you the picture below you would likely know the name and general location faster than most geo guessers but it might take you an extra few seconds to locate it in the Alps.

You are mixing up simple and easy. The concept of geo guessing is very simple: look at a picture and click on the globe where you think it is located. But, at least at the level these guys guess at it is far from easy. Hitting a 100mph baseball is a simple task but for the vast majority of people it is anything but easy.

It’s just a meme. It’s not that deep.
