There are two kinds of countries out there:
- Those that use the metric system
- Those that have landed men on the moon

11. that little strip that reaches out on the NE corner messed me up…I couldn't figure out what was going on because I got the 0 KM from Zimbabwe which barely touches it.

[sp] This is some bull***** Apparently the countries don't even technically touch and haven't since 2000! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazungula?wprov=sfti1 here's a Wikipedia entry for a border town right there with the info. [/sp]

I wouldn't necessarily rely on Wikipedia as your absolute source here. They do share a border in the river. One country disputes that and says they essentially ARE the river (they are not).

Historically and geographically, it's a really cool area. The reason it exists is kind of bizarre, and it's the only area of its kind in the world.

Fine, I can go to many other non-WIKI places and see mixed messaging on it. Most sources say it is NOT a true quadripoint. That better?

The bridge is not a quadripoint. The river is. The bridge is a border crossing between 2 of the 4 countries and passes over the river.

Again, there is not a consensus that I can find on it. Most recent stuff I see mentions a few hundred feet border between Botswana and Zambia, and that it's a pair of tri-point connections here and not a quadripoint one. Older stuff (pre-2000) points to it as a quadripoint. I think it's fair for me to call bull*****

Okay. I'm sure you clearly know more about this than me. Let's go with your answer.

I'm just bringing in other relevant information is all. Sure, it's a technicality, but definitely not so black and white as you have suggested.

I usually guess this one pretty early but got stuck trying to be tricky going countries I thought they had not used yet.
