I don't think the degree of the tilt of the Earth is common knowledge which is why it was worth 7 points.

I haven't looked at a globe in decades and when I did I was just looking at different countries and oceans and things. The lines weren't something I paid much attention to.

I knew the Earth was tilted but to what degree was just a guess. I'm sure it was mentioned in one of the many books I've read or documentaries I've seen but it didn't stick.

Same here. I knew it was one of the middle two and guessed wrong :/ -- nm - Meg Sep 6, 12:04 1
- Yeah, I just couldn't remember anything that would have given me more than a coin flip's chance between the two -- nm - Krusty Sep 6, 12:15
