Last-minute head-scratching over Q38: it seems to be true if you define the Atlantic widely enough to include fringe waters (Caribbean, Arctic etc), false if not. Any agreed definition of Atlantic in use? Also Q24a: Is Saint-Denis part of Paris or a separate city in itself?

I've seen this answered elsewhere taking definitions in Encylopedia Brittanica and one other source as being false. I've also used the CIA factbook and it's false according to it.
 
There was one place that defined the atlantic as 106sq km, which seems a lot larger than most other estimates and it's the only case I can find where the answer would be narrowly true, so I'm sticking with false.
 
Any other opinions?

I believe it is 'false'. The 106.48 (x10↑6) km� includes the Mediterranean!

Q24 asks which 'cities', therefore it's Paris.

Thanks, atlanticists and francophiles. (um, is that the same CIA who knew where weapons of mass destruction were? I suppose they've got to be right sometime!)
