Find a foreign-resident Manifolder (or more) and write in where they are from! After the conference I will measure distance to the venue from the capital of that country!

This market is a shameless excuse to profit from meeting new people!

Hey folks!

I spoke with the Manifold staff and learned they do not have a definitive (enough) list of attendee home countries. Therefore I am going to do my best here given the info available to me, but if that strikes y’all as a massive mis-resolve please lmk and lay down your reasoning. I didn’t meet nearly everyone at the conference so I’m fully prepared to be wrong on this one.

Ok, so - because I could not confirm the attendance of anyone from India, Sydney, or some Other mid-Asian or Southern Hemisphere capital, and because Great Circle distances are topologically unintuitive to flat-Earthers (er… flat mappers), it turns out that Rome, Italy is significantly farther from Berkeley than Seoul, South Korea.

Is “came” about where the flight was from or where the people are originally from?

@ms I'm confused, I swear OP had written multiple clarifications that it was the former, but they're nowhere to be seen. Did I dream it?

You may be thinking of Calvinball's market

@Joshua Totally.

@ms "foreign-resident" is what OP has specified here, so it seems it probably has to be where they normally live and not just where they're originally from, though that's still a blurry line.

@chrisjbillington Yes, I am going for the country where they currently reside and (presumably) flew from / will return to after the conference. If they happen to have travel plans that are not direct from their home country, doesn’t matter. I am not going for birth country.

indeed! @AnT - if you know something we don’t, good opportunity to profit here 😄
