Vatican City at only about 1/8 the size. Monaco is also smaller, but larger than the Vatican.

Ok, easy one, what country can you see the sun rise in the west and set in the east?

Canada...by the Arctic Circle????

I suppose that's right, though not at all what I was going for.

Thyra · 08-13-2008, 02:07 PM

Panama. The east end of the Panama Canal is on the Pacific side and the west end of the Panama canal is on the Caribbean side. The sun appears to rise in the west at that location. I believe this question was brought up with Marilyn Van Sant as one of the questions in Parade Magazine several years ago. I originally thought the same as Trudeyrose about the Arctic circle and the equinox and then I thought about the unusual configuration of Panama. Great question!
