I've seen the number -273.16 sometimes. Seems that is likely to have been
a confusition with the definition which is against the triple point of
water. Which is at 1�cC.
Still wondering where Stephen has hidden Scott McKenzie in the quiz...

Okay, you actually did mean centi- and you were confused about the value.
I get it now.

It appears to me that the standard requires the spelling "1 c�C"
for the symbolic form of "one centidegree Celsius".

This was a tough one! On the bright side, the chance I'll have to

about 2 hot nanoseconds after posting I realized that I had omitted the word 'exactly' from the question. there are 3 correct answers intended, and of course many more because of my goof. good catch.

And how difficult would that be? :-) I'm a little surprised that no one

else has tried that guess yet. (And John Masters spotted Florida.)
But I goofed seriously on E67. Since E45 and E47 runs through Sweden,
I figured E67 much be quite to the east, but I forgot that the last
stretch of E65 runs throgh the south of Sweden. A little complication
here is that Sweden has not fully implemented the new numbering system,
but what possibly should have been E55 is still numbered as E4 throughout
Sweden. Not that it is likely that I would have found the correct answer,
but at least I could have made a better guess.
I was tempted to answer Fredricia, a city on the old E67 which, if memory
serves was a very short route in Denmark - something like 20-30 km
connecting E6 and E66.
By the way, having looked up the new E67 and having looked at the
answer, I think Stephen has a small scoring problem on this one too. To
wit, Via Baltica is only a subset of E67...
