Any thoughts of using this for length of coastline? https://www.jetpunk.com/info/countries-by-coastline

Fun quiz!

Only drawback is that the length of coastline is so highly scale dependent. For example the official estimate for Finland's coastline is about 46000 km. This is ten times more than the value used in this quiz.

What a weird unit though. It's one of the last things I would try to compare to the population. In fact, I'd probably come up with a quiz idea about population per capita before coming up with this.

But what if everyone wants to go to the coast at the same time? It's important to know how much room you have between you and the next person :-)

Wonder what country has the least coastline per capita (excluding landlocked countries)? My money's on the DRC, though Bosnia might be up there too!

Shocked Australia didn't make the cut. Kind of baffled actually.

They found the length of the coastline for each country and the population, then divided the length of coastline by the population.

The quiz would be way more interesting without island countries / or non-bordering countries in my opinion
