Kræmerpynten is given as the [[Extreme points of Norway|easternmost point of Norway]], but it is on an island! Hence I think we should include the overseas territories in the search... My answer is that Norway is to Kræmerpynten as France is to Wé. (Wé seems to be the easternmost village on [[New Caledonia]], which according to [[Geography of New Caledonia]] is at 165°30' E.) If you didn't mean the village, then my answer is "... as France is to the easternmost point of New Caledonia". [[User:Lupo|Lupo]] 09:25, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC) |

Norway is to Kræmerpynten as France is to Lauterbourg
Kræmerpynten is the easternmost point of Norway so the easternmost point of France is Lauterbourg, Bas Rhin. I did a search for Kræmerpynten, found the Extreme points of Norway page > Extreme points of the world > Extreme points of France. (though for some time I confused East with West and tried to find the westernmost point of Brittany) Maycontainpeanuts 23:40, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Wikipedia search for "Kræmerpynten" -> Extreme points of Norway -> saw that Kræmerpynten is easternmost point of Norway -> Extreme points of France -> saw that Lauterbourg, Bas Rhin is the French equivalent. --David Iberri | Talk 23:24, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)
Question 2 Answered
Answer: Norway is to Kræmerpynten as France is to Lauterbourg. I found Kræmerpynten was Norway's easternmost point here, so I figured the answer must be France's easternmost point, which I found here. MattSal 01:52, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)
Lauterbourg. They're both the easternmost points of the countries. Found through Google. Stellertony the Bookcrosser 05:04, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)
