<p>The description of Hungary says it&#39;s bordered by Czechoslovakia, Austria, Yugoslavia, Romania, and the Soviet Union. </p><p>Two of those are still right!</p>

<p>like, most of the flag clues. do you know how many countries have changed their flags since 1989? LOTS OF THEM</p>
<p>I&#39;m thinking of dumping a list of all the hints in this game and calculating how many of them are wrong by now.</p>
<p>(Brazil has had 3/4 currency changes since then, depending on how you count it)</p>
<p>This game was released in 1990 but it has a hint that refers to the currency of Brazil as the &quot;cruzado&quot;. But in 1989, it had been replaced by the cruzado novo. Clearly someone was using an out of date encyclopedia!</p>

If that’s the case, forget getting any consistent connection (think a Vegas convention center), even if you have fast data on the phone, your hotspot will drop b/c WiFi.</p>

It’s fine for small increments. But if you’re trying to upload video or do a lot of data intensive work that needs an internet connection, it isn’t ideal. An iPad better to tether than a phone b/c battery but built-in or a USB connected modem is way better.</p>
