What is the minimum number of constituencies you have to travel through to reach the coast? (Colour code as in snooker (only Hampstead & Kilburn scores more than 7).)  What if you're already in a coastal constituency? You're not travelling through it. |

That well known snooker sequence. Red-yellow-green-brown-blue-pink-bacon.

You get your feet wet. Or you drown. Or you run away. Or you swim. But you don't travel through a constituency. If you are in a constituency which has a coastline, then (by definition) you have to travel through that constituency (from your starting point, to the water/land boundary) in order to reach the coast. That is always a finite non-zero distance, so the need to "travel through" that distance cannot be avoided. |

The countries whose national anthems I have learnt, and the regions in which my brain has sub-divided them (for the purposes of helping keeping track of which ones I have done or not yet done) (My repertoire also includes the national anthems of Wales and Newfoundland, although they are not independent)  |

Nunarput, utoqqarsuanngoravit
Niaqqut ulissimavoq qiinik.
Qitornatit kissumiaannarpatit
Tunillugit sineriavit piinik.
Supposedly that is the Greenland anthem, but I have my suspicions someone's cat walked over the keyboard when they had Wikipedia open.

But what is the definition of coast? Would that include tidal estuary? If so would that not include everything in London up to Teddington Lock or most of the Glasgow seats (not that I know how far up the Clyde the tide goes)? |

And again I ask - how would you know?? Well, many years ago in Bangkok I saw someone do something with a fish, but they weren't drunk or trying to sing the Greenland anthem...do you want me to go on?  Possibly not.  |

My definition is that the coastline reaches inwards as far as Greater London, but no further along the Thames. Similarly with Glasgow. |

I guess probably yes and no respectively, although there is no Greenland anthem in my primary source material (the book and the CDs) so the Greenland national anthem would have to be found in the secondary sources (YouTube and Wikipedia etc.). |
