- alanbernstein 6y agoThat drives me nuts. I don't see an explanation in the article for why there are just six irregular cells in the whole grid. It does mention that it's "in part to accommodate the southern half of the Kingdom of Norway", despite the system having been developed by the US or maybe Germany. Why Norway? Why only Norway?
