    It took a week, and I made a couple of screwups (I was only 10), but I managed to indeed discover that they do have a long coastline. longer than the US's? I wasn't able to tell, as I keeled over and fell asleep, before I could satrt the US's coast.

    I also measured Denmark and Sweden's coatline, because I was up for hours on end without sleep.
    I was once alive, but then a girl came and took out my ticker.

    tired of ridiculous trouble with walking animations? then you need my brand newmotion capture for the common man!

    I hope you didn't forget to measure the coast line of Spitsbergen, because without it it would have been very close call between Norway and USA indeed.

    Never apply yourself to gathering gepgraphy statistics. Others have invariably done so before you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...h_of_coastline

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    I do NOT answer PM requests for help with EB. Ask in a new help thread in the tech help forum.
