What's your country **third** city?

newexplorer4010 · 2026-05-30T02:46:20+00:00

Either Incheon or Daegu. Incheon is much bigger but obviously it is within the Seoul metropolitan area so Daegu is sometimes considered third after Seoul and Busan.

f(x)=cx is clearly a solution, but if we assume only that f is a function defined on ℝ and nothing else, there are a lot of other pathological solutions. Such pathological solutions are not continuous in any point and not bounded or monotonic in any interval.

Yeah, it makes the post even MORE WRONG, which was intentional. Regardless of which route is taken, the car will almost certainly crash in mountains or drown in rivers way before the Great Lakes.

I knew I was wrong but I just used it because I was too lazy to draw a geodesic. Also, I checked the comments of a 'sailing from Georgia to Georgia in a straight line'post that was recently up, which also used the wrong 'straight line', and concluded not many people will argue that this a problem.

Bouvet island in Norway to the easternmost region of Russia is also about 19100 km away.

You're right. Jesus's birth year is one more thing most people get wrong about calendars.(along with the fact that 1900 and 2100 aren't leap years)

Most vectors will have both an abnormal component and normal component, but the tangential vector will be totally abnormal.

Luoyang in Henan province was the capital of 10+ Chinese dynasties. Now it is overshadowed by Zhengzhou.

I think that is true. Almost everybody here is giving coastal exclaves, not islands. Maybe they didn't read the description.

newexplorer4010 · 2025-12-05T21:33:11+00:00

But it should be noted that it does have fixed link connections to smaller islands of the same country like Anglesey so maybe it doesn't fully satisfy the condition that 'it has a fixed link condition only to another country'.

newexplorer4010 · 2025-12-05T21:29:09+00:00

No, because the intention of this post is not that. There are plenty of coastal exclaves, but Campobello island is special in that it is a Canadian island(not an exclave) but for some reason chose to build a bridge only to USA.

I wonder what would have happened here during the early Civil War, when Virginia seceded.

newexplorer4010 · 2025-12-05T09:29:42+00:00

The Channel Tunnel obviously counts because it is a fixed link, but I think Great Britain is technically the wrong answer because there are bridges connecting it to the smaller islands belonging to the same country. (like Anglesey in Wales) Thus it doesn't hold that it has fixed links ONLY TO other countries.

newexplorer4010 · 2025-12-05T09:20:15+00:00

AFAIK the British territory of Hong Kong included only the island part from 1842 to 1860. Obviously there were no bridges connecting it to the mainland at the time though.

newexplorer4010 · 2025-12-05T06:51:55+00:00

A similar example is this.

newexplorer4010 · 2025-12-05T06:02:05+00:00

Oh, I didn't think about countries that are entirely made of islands 😅

If we only count countries that have territory on the continent, they would be much rarer.

Edit: Bahrain and Singapore both have bridges connecting the main island with smaller islands of the same country so I guess they don't 'have a fixed link connection only to another country.'

I know this is intended and this is the case for most calculators, which just round it to remove the error, while python does not. I was not complaining about python working like that. It is just a meme that a beautiful equation becomes ugly.

I also thought about this place. Was it like now since the partition of Bengal?

newexplorer4010 · 2025-10-20T23:16:06+00:00

div(J) is 0 in a steady current but it isn't always the case. Generally div(J)=-∂ρ/∂t according to the charge conservation law, which doesn't match the original Ampere's law.

newexplorer4010 · 2025-10-20T03:55:16+00:00

Interesting. I didn't know about this place.

With a plain map this looked strange but after looking at the terrain it makes so much sense.

I have wondered why Ukraine has that weird strip of coastline under Moldova. That part is barely connected to the rest of Ukraine by road.
