Anybody want to play 20 questions?

The Game Room
801

It doesn’t seem to meet the basic wiki definition:

“Geographic features, or geographical formations, are components of a planet that can be referred to as locations, sites, areas, or regions (and therefore may show up on maps).”

  1. No

Although my wrangling with the question is a hint of sorts.

802

Let me attempt to clarify. It is the discovery of something occurring in nature, related to land, but it is not a particular bay, hill, river, lake, valley, or similar “geographic feature” that someone would use to fill in a previously unknown blank spot on a map.

803

Oooh! Is it the determination that Pluto is/is not a planet?

804

Disregard that. Make it, “is it the discovery of a planet?”

805

Did it occur in what is now the state of California?

806
  1. No
807
  1. Yes :stuck_out_tongue:

January 1848
