Was there any particular criteria from where you measured on the capital cities? Dead Center? Closest point? Furthest point?

I’m finding it hard to reconcile Denmark as I seem to have it about 5km less

I don’t like this projection. Greenland appears larger than the continental United States when it’s really about a fifth of the size or even compare it to Australia.

This means that a huge area of the graphic is dedicated to no data whatsoever whereas the real data is clumped together in the middle areas where a greater level of detail would be more helpful.

Instead of this rubric I would look into the points difference at the end of each match and work on that. Otherwise it’s way too heavily weighted.

For example, imagine a final where the winner gets decided by a half court three point buzzer beater. That game was effectively a tie with luck being the deciding factor. But now the winner has double the points of the second place.

This causes a huge leapfrog effect that pushes the champions higher and higher.

You know what’s most fascinating is the word crocodile

From Greek kroke + drilos To Latin crocodilus And then english went crocodile But Spanish went cocodrilo

It was pretty clear by the “um” suffix that platinum was Latin.
