If you got stuck yesterday
Look back at where your guesses stalled. The most common trap is fixating on one product — plenty of countries export gold or crude — instead of reading the whole mix and the top trade partner together. Comparing that to São Tomé and Príncipe's treemap above is the fastest way to see what you missed.
