Dongguan One in a Krillion

Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Dongguan: One in a Krillion, +100, 8 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Beijing, Delhi, London, or Los Angeles — those are Plankton. It is also the One in a Krillion on this sheet, so the rare pick and the typeable pick are the same.
