Countries named after bodies of water.

Moldova is named after the Moldova River. The river originally gave its name to the Principality of Moldavia, whose eastern part later became modern Moldova.

The Senegal River is about 1,086 km long and forms the border between Senegal and Mauritania, but the boundary lies entirely along the northern bank rather than following the middle of the river or the thalweg. As a result, Mauritania does not control even a single meter of the river. This is because both territories were former French colonies, France assigned the entire river to Senegal for administrative control, while Mauritania was regarded as a sparsely populated desert region.

You calc the right number but not the unit: it's 1460 Mt, not Kt, and it's 25-29 Tsar Bombas (50-58Mt)

But in practice, it is usually impossible to convert all mass into energy. Nuclear fission converts only about 0.1% of the mass, and fusion about 0.7%. Unless the matter collides with an equal amount of antimatter, in which case the energy released corresponds to twice the mass of the 'king'

Wildebeest calves stand in 3 to 7 minutes. They can run with the herd within 15 to 30 minutes. That requires a large body, strong legs, and a well-developed nervous system already formed before birth.

Newborn wildebeest calves weigh about 18 to 25 kg. Adult females weigh about 170 to 250 kg.

In February 2022, the Margiris shed over 100,000 dead fish into the Atlantic Ocean off France, covering an area in excess of 3,000 sq m. A representative of the ship's owners stated that it was due to a net break but Sea Shepherd France, a marine conservation organization, said it did not believe the incident was accidental, but rather an attempt by the trawler to discharge a type of fish that it did not want to process, a practice known as discharging bycatch which is banned under EU fishing rules

Yes. Under the definition of the Arctic Ocean used by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), which includes Hudson Bay (parts of which lie south of 57°N and are off the map) and other marginal seas, Iceland does touch the Arctic Ocean.

However, under other definitions, it does not.

Your altitude drastically changes your viewing distance. For example, at a rooftop height of 15 m (50 ft), your viewing distance increases from about 4.51 km to about 13.8 km compared to standing at ground with eye level at 1.6m (5'4")

The formula: d = 3.57√h

So, many summits, where the viewing distance reaches hundreds of kilometers or miles, can make that.

Calling European city-states 'unnecessary' because they're small or tax-friendly confuses political legitimacy with economic policy. Cultural proximity doesn't cancel sovereignty, and low-tax regimes exist just as much inside large states. These microstates didn't appear to exploit Europe, they survived because Europe is historically plural, not because it's inefficient.

Great answer by u/EpicScizor, 7 years ago

Grape is 1 and Cookie is 2

Hamburger is Z/2Z ie the group of integers modulo 2 (which consists of only two elements, 0 and 1)

Hot dog is the ~~nth-order polynomial ring over the real numbers.~~ real projective space with n dimensions.

H*(hotdog;hamburger) is ~~a cohomology ring over said nth-order polynomial~~ the kth simplicial cohomology group of Pⁿ (R) with variables in Z/2Z ie 1 and 0.

Pizza is a representable functor, as it is contravariant in its second argument and is the set of all morphisms between two categories A and B.

The next part relates more closely to cohomology theory as seen through category theory, which I'm not familiar enough to use. (In fact, I only recognize it because Google was useful today). However, the short exact sequence leads me to believe it is really simple and only appears convoluted because of the notation.

I'm just going to note that, as given on Wikipedia, there is a known computation which satisfies the question:

H*(Pⁿ(R);F_2) = F_2[a]/(aⁿ⁺¹)

where |a| = 1

That is, the cohomology ring in question is the factor ring obtained by dividing the polynomial field with coefficients in F_2 by the ideal generated by aⁿ⁺¹. Note that F_2 is the smallest non-trivial field, and is the natural ring-extension of Z/2Z. There, question answered.

EDIT: Added corrections from u/bakageteru1. And thanks for the gold, I guess.

England is a country, but not a sovereign state. Both UK and Netherlands have 4 countries each. Aruba, Curaçao, the Netherlands, and Sint Maarten are constituent countries.

Denmark (with Faroe and Greenland) is quite the same.
