## **Important notes**

* The following country names always refer to the following, unless otherwise stated (possibly without claimed but not internationally recognized territories):
    * "France", "Australia", "Norway", "Denmark" and "Kingdom of the Netherlands": their widest possible definition
    * "UK": the core country including all British overseas territories, but excluding Man, Jersey and Guernsey
    * "USA": the core country including all overseas territories, but excluding the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base
* With country always states of the highest level are meant, no federal states or similar.
* With "territorial entity of #. level" means the following:
    * "2. level": state, constituent republic, federal state, territory, etc. 
    * "3. level": province, county, district, borough, etc.

---

* Neighbouring countries are only those that share a common land border, unless otherwise specified.
* Areas include water areas belonging to territorial entities, unless otherwise specified, but do not include territorial sea waters. The data of the CIA World Factbook apply.
* For questions regarding distances and locations, territorial sea waters are not included, unless otherwise stated.

---

* When it comes to boundaries and coordinates, the representations in Google Maps<sup>TM</sup> and Google Earth<sup>TM</sup> are always decisive.
* Filled-in outlines of countries are always standardised and do not include inland waters that are only partially part of the country. However, they contain enclaves, even if these are complete countries. They were created with the app TrueWorld Maps<sup>TM</sup>.
* All correct answers are geographical.

## What doesn't count

* Situation in the same climate zone or on the same continent
* Any bands of coordinates that comprise more than one full degree of longitude or latitude.
* Any bands of altitudes exceeding 100 metres in height
* Answers containing the word "approximately"
* Common letters or sequences or words in geographical names

## Examples of required and sufficient accuracy

* "All cities lie between 11°40' S and 12°40' S."
* "Through both places runs the 900 m contour line." or "Both places are at 900 m altitude."
* The highest point of both countries is between 4,440 m and 4,500 m (or max. 100 m difference)."

## Appendix: How to send an encrypted memo

Since SteemWorld is probably the easiest and clearest to use and almost everyone uses it anyway, I show it with it. It goes among other things also in your Wallet.

###### 1. Click on `Balances`.
###### 2. Click on `Transfer...`
###### 3. If there shows up such popup, choose STEEM or SBD
###### 4. Fill in as shown
###### 5. Important: `Encrypt Memo` tick on
###### 6. Confirm by clicking on `Transfer` in the bottom right of the popup window
###### 7. Answer the queries in the following two self-explanatory pop-up windows
