So then, what's this a map of?

[purplepoppy]

Here's a pretty map with numbers on. But what do the numbers mean?

Number of GAG members in each country

Number of Letters in the alphabet

Percentage who approve of Trump

Arrests per year for social media posts

Number of swearwords banned on TV

Percentage of people with the same Surname

Updates

1 mo

Yep, letters in the alphabet

Not sure why Belgium, Switzerland and Kosovo are gray, with no number. Also wondering why Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary are much higher than all the others. Wondering if any of that is significant.

Knowing a bit about languages, I'm gonna guess it's the number of letters in that country's native language. I know Icelandic has some extra characters for the "th" sound, and Scandinavian countries have an extra o sound, while Spanish has the nye character.

That would also explain why Belgium, Switzerland and Kosovo are not included, since each has multiple native languages (Belgium has French, Dutch and German; Switzerland has German, Italian, French and Romansch; Kosovo has Serbian and Albanian).

The number of genders officially recognized by various European countries. 😂😂😂😂

Must be the alphabet.. Can easily exclude the others and just testing a few countries matches perfectly.

Slovak alphabet leads

This map is pretty indeed.

The numbers in the range between 21 and 33 could perhaps mean the average predictability rate of the population in question?

If we go by the letter, that is :)

It's definitely NOT "Number of letters in the alphabet", because Montenegro has 32, not 30 (like in the map).

[Xawyx-2]

@purplepoppy - The map is wrong, it says that Montenegrin has 30 letters, but it actually has 32 (33 were proposed): cy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montenegreg#Gwyddorau

[purplepoppy]

Interesting

@purplepoppy - I need your opinion, with the help of AI, I made this song in Welsh language, can you understand the lyrics? https://audiomack.com/xawyx/song/6a4bc8701032d

If ü counts as another letter in German, why isn't é in French?

[purplepoppy]

I was thinking the same. We use little roofs over letters too like ŷ ŵ ô but don't count them as separate letters even though they change the meaning of words

[Lliam]

I'll say the number of letters in the alphabet.

Scandinavia 29 looks like a giant with much too large fists

[Anonymous]

This one can be answered using logic alone without knowing any statistics. Number of swear words is the most likely answer.

[Opinion Owner]

Wair. Wtf am i saying. No. Probably letters in the alphabet.
I just saw that germany has 30 and thought, "but it has 26"? But now remember it has ae, ao, au or something like that

Percentage of folk who think Trump is great !!!

[robocop666]

Irish was the hardest and most pointeless language to learn. Glad I got out of it.

[purplepoppy]

Apparently prison officers in the USA learn it because gang members learnt it to use as code

[robocop666]

its soooooooo hard like really hard.

[purplepoppy]

Let me guess. Confusing mutations and a billion and one suffixes to verbs

[robocop666]

I got an exemption at age 5 but I remember how hard it was. Also in the leaving cert there were people who could not even say their name.

[Agape93]

Clearly a color by the numbers page

[exitseven]

[KostasKouvalis]

Alphabet makes sense actually. ALPHABET

Temperatures in celsius

[MereAnarchy]

You think Italy is colder than Finland?

[MysticDevice]

You'd be surprised. Wisconsin can get hotter than Texas so you never really know.

You know that the world ain't just Europe 😏
