01Why Bermuda? The Export Fingerprint
Bermuda's chart is led by Mineral Fuels, Oils, Waxes, and its Distillated Derivatives at 35%, but the supporting blocks matter just as much — the combination is what makes this fingerprint readable.
| # | Export category | Value | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mineral Fuels, Oils, Waxes, and its Distillated Derivatives | $94M | 35.4% |
| 2 | Ships, boats, & floating structures | $84M | 31.6% |
| 3 | Aircraft and Spacecraft | $58M | 21.7% |
| 4 | Machinery, mechanical appliances, & parts | $8M | 2.9% |
| 5 | Beverages, spirits, & vinegar | $4M | 1.6% |
Total exports: $266M (BACI, 2023 trade flows). The treemap you played is drawn from exactly these numbers.
Together the top five categories cover 93% of Bermuda's export basket — the rest of the chart splinters into the small mosaic blocks along the edge. In Tradle terms: the skill was recognizing the big blocks, not memorizing the fringe.
02How to Solve It
Start from geography rather than a single product. Anchor with a central country in North America, then use the arrow and the mid-sized blocks — Ships, boats, & floating structures is the tiebreaker between lookalike neighbors.
If you used the hint ladder above, the ideal exit was Hint 1 — geography narrows this one faster than products do. Every 1% of proximity equals roughly 200 km, so read your percentage as a radius, not a verdict.
The general method — anchor guess, arrow, proximity math — is covered in our how to play Tradle guide, and the signature-exports cheat sheet lives in the strategy section.
