I don't see how you get specifically from Banff to Yellowstone. There are other national parks in the U.S. Rockies . . . Glacier, Grand Tetons, Rocky Mountain, to name a few.

They're analogies. The trick is to find the relationship between the first two things. Then figure out what thing has the same relationship to the third thing. For example.. hat is to head as shoe is to _____. The answer is foot. Because the relationship between the first two things is that a hat is worn on your head. So you need to ask yourself, what is a shoe worn on? A foot. Some analogies are pretty easy so long as you know what the items are that are being related. These above are mostly straightforward... i.e. The Space Needle is in Seattle. Willis Tower is in Chicago. etc. Simple. But not all of them are about location. Japan is not in the Yen.. what's the relationship? Japan uses the Yen as currency. Slightly more difficult, but still pretty easy. Really difficult analogies involve complicated or hard to understand relationships. Like these. Difficulty is scalable which is why they use them on IQ tests

What are you talking about? Helsinki is clearly closer to Tallinn than Riga. Also, Buenos Aires and Montevideo are on opposite sides of Rio de La Plata while Tallinn and Helsinki are on opposite sides of the Gulf of Finland.

Its not the fact they are close geographically... the analogy is that both capitals are connected by regular ferry/boat service.

I have been on the Tallinn/Helsinki one it is not a very fun experience. Especially not in January

I think's it about there is a Club Meade in Talinn and Helsinki and a Cafe Dread in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Proximity is a more logical conclusion than separation by a body of water, especially when one if a river and the other a gulf.

I haven't crossed a ton of borders by boat but those two I have (to Colonia, rather than to Montevideo, mind you). That's what made me think of it. I think the bodies of water separating them are part of the analogy. In both cases, you're headed north (or northeast) as well.

Direction would make more sense to me as a clue. But they arent both north. montevideo-buenos aires is nearly straight to the west, just as tallinn-helsinki is nearly exactly going north. And crossing the body of water does indeed seem to have something to do it it, both of them are ferry rides.

Yeah, this anology wasn't so clear to me either, was it about the closest other capital or just a capital of a neighboring country or was the water in between involved (which I wasn't aware of in the beginning but only after Helsinki gave me the point), so I just entered all the capitals, that are close to Tallin.

After a look at the map, both are each others closest other capital by far (Riga is about 3.5 times further away) and both are divided by a body of water.

Since Finland and Estonia don't share a land border while Argentina and Uruguay do so (I think a river can count as land border) it is not about the neighboring country.

I've been to Stanley Park a few times and it still didn't register D: It's such a mundane name to me that it isn't as iconic or easily recognized as Central Park. Still, got a solid 15.

Well, there was only one comment; did you read the explanation as well? Both are the *first* national parks in their respective country. That is not random, unspecific, or vague in the least. Folks' lack of knowledge does not make a question a bad one – it's the opportunity to learn something new! Otherwise, why would you be on site like this – just so you can always know every answer because the questions are all super easy? That sounds dull and pointless… and you do know there's no prizes, right? ;-)

Actually lack of knowledge sort of made me get that one. A few months ago I had never heard of bannf, but came across it on this website and apparently known for its park. That is all I know about it, well and that it is in canada. So the only logical answer would be the most known national park in america.

For analogies you can always go obscure, like if one city has 3 bronze statues with a pigeon and then looking for other cities that has that aswell, but usually it is the most simply and recognisable answer.

I think the connection between Banff and Yellowstone is too nebulous. To me, Banff is a town. Banff National Park is a park. If you just say Banff, though, the first thing I think of is the town. It's Canada's #1 ski restort town, set in the Rocky Mountains, surrounded by Banff National Park, incorporated in 1885. Aspen Colorado is the USA's #1 ski resort town, located in the Rocky Mountains, surrounded by White River National Forrest, incorporated in 1881. Once I tried Aspen and it didn't work, it was hard to get Banff town out of my head, so I ran out of time guessing different things like Snowmass, Lake Tahoe, Sonora, Reno, etc. I'd say that the low percentage of correct answers reinforces my observation. Maybe give the clue as Banff National Park rather than just Banff to make it less guessworky. You'd still have to have the same knowledge to get it right.
