:::In the {{w|Replicas of the Statue of Liberty#Jardin du Luxembourg|Jardin du Luxembourg}} section of that page it states that it is the 'first' that the artist used as a model for the full size version in New York, this is probably what Hkmaly is referring to.

::::There were models before that statue was build. But no one was big as the present to the United States. Nevertheless it's correct, the first one is not standing at NYC. And without that statue at NYC we all would not know it.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 21:44, 21 May 2013 (UTC) | ::::There were models before that statue was build.

So by being in the same country you get a few thousand points. But, then I got an easy one because the street view showed a restaurant called Vila Cha, and sure enough TripAdvisor took me to Vila Cha in Campos Do Jordao in Sao Paolo, Brazil. I double checked in a separate tab the street view of the area, and I hit the point 0.023km off, and got "only" 6477 points. For the difficulty of the game, I'd think you'd get 5 digit scores for that at least.

:I got the point 4 meters off, and only got about 6.5k points. --[[User:DiEvAl|DiEvAl]] ([[User talk:DiEvAl|talk]]) 20:13, 21 May 2013 (UTC) | :I got the point 4 meters off, and only got about 6.5k points. --[[User:DiEvAl|DiEvAl]] ([[User talk:DiEvAl|talk]]) 20:13, 21 May 2013 (UTC) | ||

"if you recognize Japanese characters on a sign, the nation of Japan actually encompasses an enormous area, so unless you can recognize a specific region, there's no obvious place to guess where you can hope to get high points. (Unlike somewhere like England, where guessing London is guaranteed to put you within reasonable distance from a global perspective.)" -- Japan is about three times as big as England, so I wouldn't say that Japan is "enormous" in comparison. Furthermore, since the part about Japan refers to recognition of Japanese characters, this would be equivalent to connecting signs in English to England, which apparently is not the most obvious conclusion.

"For every famous object, there are countless replicas, and the vast majority of famous objects (...) exist in only one place in the world". ??? Someone might need to clarify the meaning here, as this reads as self-contradictory to me. Also, can I guess Legoland Windsor as being (very inaccurately) half way between Billund and wherever the California one is? ;) [[Special:Contributions/178.99.247.73|178.99.247.73]] 20:41, 20 May 2013 (UTC) | "For every famous object, there are countless replicas, and the vast majority of famous objects (...) exist in only one place in the world". ???

Actually, if people ''quit'' building replicas, Cueball's score would stay the same. To actually make his score higher, people would have to go and actually '''destroy''' some replicas, or wait for them to fall into ruin. All of this assumes that Cueball isn't getting any better with practice, and isn't playing often enough to where he's actually seen the replicas enough to recognize them...
