The problem was that the full turn around the Sun is the tropical year - the Earth commits for 365,24219878. In the calendar, the number of days is a whole. It turns out that if a year is 365 days, then every year the calendar will be born - to go ahead for almost a quarter of a day.

16. The Vatican is a dwarf state, the smallest in the world, located in Rome, the capital of Italy. In international law, the Vatican itself is only the territory on which the Holy See is currently located - the collective name of the Pope and Roman Kuria, one of the main administrative bodies of the Catholic Church. So, the embassies of other countries are accredited not at the Vatican, but with the holy throne. A significant part of the territory occupies the Cathedral of St. Peter and the Square of the same name, which are the center of worship of Catholics of the whole world.

Such interpretation is popular in Hispanic countries. It also has the opinion that Europe, Asia and Africa are one continent - Africania - as they occupy an undivided land of sushi. Europe and Asia, having an extremely implicit distinction, are often called Eurasia. Hence the results of the counting, when on Earth it turns out from four to seven continents.

The greatest mainland is Asia. This applies to both Square (29 %), and the number of population (60 %). The smallest continent is Australia (5.14% and 0.54%, respectively). There is no Antarctic on the list, because this ice continent is unsuitable for a comfortable life and practically uninhabited.

If you collect all the data on where Atlantis could be located, it would be a fascinating book, in which I would have to tell about South America, with which the famous philosopher Francis Bacon was identified in the Utopia "New Atlantis", and the North Sea, where not far from The islands of Helgoland, according to the German pastor, Yurgen Sppuuta, was a mysterious continent, and about the search for him at the beginning of the XIX century.
