|    Three coast countries    |

      From: dtilque@frontier.com              What countries have 3 or more sea coasts?              The coasts all have to be on a single contiguous territory of that       country. Exclaves and islands do not add to the total, but rather each       has their own coast count. Any continuous coastline, uninterrupted by       territory of another country, counts as one, even if the name of the       body of water changes from one part to another. Coastlines on lakes and       rivers do not count. (For the purposes of this question, the Caspian       Sea, Dead Sea, Sea of Galilee and any other inland body of water, even       if they have the word "Sea" in their name, are considered lakes.)              Example: the USA has only two coasts: East Coast and West Coast. The       South Coast is continuous with the East Coast, so it doesn't add to the       total, even though one is on the Atlantic Ocean and the other is on the       Gulf of Mexico. Alaska has its own count (1) and each of the Hawaiian       Islands have their own count (also 1).              Lots of countries have 2 coasts, but I can only find a handful that have       3. How many can you find?              --       Dan Tilque              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
