I think so. We might know intellectually that the Earth's surface is mostly water, that Africa is six times bigger than Europe, and so on, but those facts become a lot more obvious when filling in random points.

45ºN, 60ºE is JUUUUUUUST over the border into Uzbekistan. Like, maybe 25 meters into Uzbekistan and about a meter from the former shoreline of the rapidly shrinking Aral Sea.

It's not random in the slightest. It's asking what countries or bodies of water are located at the given latitude and longitude. So, for instance, the very first box is 150º W longitude and 75º N latitude. If you were to go to those coordinates on the Earth, you would be in the Arctic Ocean. If you then started moving directly south, 15º of latitude at a time but staying at the same longitude (moving one box down on the grid), you would hit the US at 60º N, then the Pacific Ocean at each of the stops (boxes) from 45º N, 30º N, 15º N, all the way down to 60º S, and then at 75º S you would be in the Southern Ocean. Does that help any?

Hi, I'm Troy M'Clure. You might not remember me from "M'Clure strait? What the heck is that?" and "Can't we just class this place as part of a bigger sea?".
