@ponderable saidSingapore into Malaysia is +1 pt! So you have 100 pts, yes?
I start on Timor (Indonesia) and cross toTimor-Leste (+1)
I fly from Dili to Singapur (-2)
and I cross into Malysia (-2)
I end up with 97 points.
@ponderable saidIt does but you cross over to the city-state from Malaysia on a bridge called the Johor Causeway.
Thank you I was sure that Singapore consists of Islands.
