| Erland Sommarskog <esquel@sommarskog.se>: Apr 05 10:18PM +0200 [This message has also been mailed to those who have entered so far.] I realised that the way I had phrased question 4 in the quiz, differents parts of the question were partly in contradiction with each other. Here is a clarified version of the question: 4. Give a city with a population of at least 400 000 that is located on the sea, and which also has a border on a sweetwater lake with a surface of at least 1 km². A lake which is entirely included within the city limits does not count; the borders of the city must traverse the lake or be on the shores of the lake. (Since it can be difficult to deduce whether the limits is on border exactly, I will permit for a leeway fitting a path or a road, but generally not any buildings.) "City" here refers to the city proper, not metropolitan area. If any entrant want to change their answer after seeing this correction, I will accept that. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
