How the fold works
Each puzzle opens with a question that splits the remaining countries near the middle. Guess wrong and the map physically folds: the ruled-out region collapses away and the next question appears. The live zone keeps shrinking until the answer is unmissable, or until a careless guess ends the day.
Deduction beats memorization
Because the questions are generated fresh each day, you cannot grind a fixed clue order. Some days open on hemisphere, others on population or coastline, so the skill is reading which half of the world a fact removes, not memorizing a script.
Careless guesses are fatal
Picking a country the questions have already ruled out ends the run immediately, and once the world is folded down to two candidates, one wrong tap loses the day. The scoring is pure guess count, so restraint is the whole strategy.
