Mine was higher level, as I was getting cute with the fact that not everyone agrees that Luxembourg is a microstate. Like, Jerry, who fucking cares, that wasn't the question you dummy. And even if you want to get into that issue, the question tells you the number (and I'm enough of a geography nerd to have been able to pin them down.)

Just really dumb.
