#182Please put it in bold font on the main page that there’s no way to get new puzzle and you need yo wait for a day. I was very confused while looking for the button to restart.
I believe changing your system date should "work"...

Yeah I don't get the point of this as is. At least the current country is nothing short of obvious, so everyone gets it right on first guess and then just waits a day?

#184I typed in Taiwan and I have thoughts. Good thoughts.
Taiwan is the name of an island. The country name is Republic of China.

#185I was extremely confused about the distance values in relation to the percentages until I read the help: > The distances displayed correspond to the distances between the selected and the target territory centers. > For instance, the computed distance between United States and Canada is around 2260km even if they have a common border. That's extremely deceptive and non-obvious unless you read through the documentatio…
What is the center of the US anyways? Does it include Alaska and Guam?
A good measure would be to take the median distance between any two points in the two countries.
Median is great for removing outliers.

#187Earlier quoted context omitted.
What about Reunion? Then it should be roughly in the middle of Africe.
If you weight it by the actual size of territories rather than just the extreme boundaries then the center is indeed in Spain, because the overseas regions are still rather small in comparison to the European part of France. If you use only the extreme boundaries then it gets a lot more interesting and I would say that the center is closer to the center of the Earth than to its surface.
Things probably change if you weigh by surface including the ocean EEZ, with French Polynesia being the most significant area of France at this point.

20 million meters is indeed about the maximum distance between any two points on Earth.
Along the surface. Otherwise it's about 12 million meters.
It also depends on the direction.
The earth is bulging at the equator (or getting flatened pole to pole) due to rotation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_bulge

#189I like this but waiting a day for a new puzzle means I’ll never play it again
