And if you measure it in miles of coastline...

Mexico - 1,743 miles.
US - 1,680 miles.

Other sites round up the US portion to an even 1,700, which is STILL short(!)

Does this fully take into account Louisiana? I feel like those river deltas and swamplands add up to a massive amount of what could be considered coastline.

If they’re both infinite that’s just 50/50 right?

More like ♾️/♾️, so closer to 1.

Isn't 50/50 = 1 = ♾️ / ♾️?

I'm fairly certain that's not how it works 🤣

Could be part of the "rounding up", same for the Florida Keys.
