Although the two peaks of le Cliersou and Puy Pariou were clearly located by candidates, in (i) the compass direction of the former from the Puy de Dôme tended to be given as North-west rather than North or North-north-west. In (ii) more candidates calculated the distance between the peak of the Puy de Dôme and Puy Pariou correctly, at 2750 m or within 100 m lower or higher. In (iii) many calculat...
