Some of you were on the right track...

This map shows the typical price for a female escort in the various countries. The scale at the bottom is in US dollars. For example, an escort in Australia costs between US$300 and US$350.

Since no one got the correct answer, I'm not assigning MHOs. They will be assigned by the GaG algorithm.

I think the scale on the bottom is the clue. It's the price of something in dollars in each country. Surprise surprise the UK is pretty high so we're getting screwed as usual.

Or it could be the average spend by American tourists in each country.

[AviatorTom]

@purplepoppy Good observation... in the right direction. 👍

[purplepoppy]

Cost cont? Never thought of that.

[KostasKouvalis]

Sure. I don't know if it's per hour or...
I wouldn't have either. That's the most random thing ever, but it explains why there are no Muslim countries. But Turkey has them though, so I don't know why Turkey's not on here.

[KostasKouvalis]

I know Indonesia has them too, 'cuz Steve-o used one

[purplepoppy]

Probably they aren't sharing data on it. There was a news article here a while back about a street you could get a prostitute for £5 (about $6-7) which is an excellent bargain.

[KostasKouvalis]

Is that for a hand job? 😂

[AviatorTom]

@KostasKouvalis Close...

[KostasKouvalis]

I mean, they used a different word, but...

[KostasKouvalis]

"Right direction"?
Is an escort not a hooker?

[purplepoppy]

No. A hooker is just for sex an escort spends time chatting to you

[KostasKouvalis]

That's nice of her. Though in my defense, some refer to themselves as "escorts" to sound more classy or bypass local prostitution laws

[katiesmuff]

Looks to me like it's showing basically the percentage that the US dollar is used in a particular area such as 100% in US, moderately in Canada and large part of Europe, to very little to none in South America.

[KostasKouvalis]

Excellent guess

[fivebyfour]

The world's ledgers run on USD or USD equivalent, even when USD is not accepted for regular transactions,,,

[AviatorTom]

Close, not quite correct

It's a map of the earth flattened out with the colors of purple from deep purple to light pink hue and light grey scale against white background.

Average income? Although the whole Siberian chunk sort of blows that theory.

Regarding the map you're curious about, without seeing it, I'll venture a guess. It could be showing popular travel routes, tourist attractions, or even a country's geographical layout. Maps are great at highlighting such details! If you need help with travel plans, let me know!

[AviatorTom]

Copy and paste... that took a lot of thought. 😐

[sage2021]

The purple shows where Russia will hit America with nuclear weapons. The rest of it shows the areas affected by the nuclear haze (?) and people won't survive the other colors. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[chrissykerdock]

ramifications of someone under the influence

[KostasKouvalis]

Excellent guess

[KostasKouvalis]

You got me completely stumped. I have no clue

[KostasKouvalis]

OH! MY! GOD!😲
Is that per hour?

[purplepoppy]

So how do you spend the next 55 minutes with her

[AviatorTom]

@purplepoppy Are you sure that's not the next 58 minutes? 😎

[purplepoppy]

I'm including undressing time

[OfDeath]

It’s the price of prostitutes by country.

[AviatorTom]

Very close

[OfDeath]

Not close, it’s the right answer.

[Phoenix98]

From the looks of it how far the US dollar goes in various countries.
