Here we go!
The #fridaygeotrivia question: What is the longest chain of countries, such that each country shares a land border with and has a shorter name than the previous country?
Ex: Luxembourg (10 chars) Belgium
(7) France
(6) Spain
(5).
- you must include the hashtag #fridaygeotrivia and emoji flags
- spaces in the name count as a char. Ex: “South Africa” (12)
- “The “ at start of the name does not count. Ex: “Netherlands” (11) not “The Netherlands” (15)
@opencage do the country names have to be in English? Or can we use the country name in their own language(s)?
@atlefren has to be in English, otherwise how do we deal with languages like Arabic, etc?
@opencage fair enough for this purpose, but I hope your geocoder handles native names as well? ;)
@atlefren oh my god!! that is genius. We could support other languages! this is going to be huge...
