@heateh:
The "?" on the clue "inner inner core" is because this is a new, and still somewhat speculative thing. In the original page in the French Wikipedia, the dots correspond to numbers which refer to captions. Except this one which is just a question mark.
There is recent evidence that the inner core has at least 2 different layers, but of course it's difficult to tell much about it. all the evidence of earth's structure comes from seismic readings, and the deeper you go, the harder it is to figure out what's going on.
So the more traditional view (core just into outer and inner parts) still is the more familiar thing.
And really, the name "inner inner core" is cumbersome. I suppose it will get a better name in time.

:-), about the ?
I personally think it points the center of the earth/inner core or the middle point of the earth/center?
The line certainly divides the earth in two parts.
What do you recon the ? is?

Thanks Heateh. I've fixed that. Not sure what happened there, but I evidently deleted the clue when I made the game.

Hi, the third dot from top left should be fixed.
It's the Gutenberg discontinuity.
Besides that, great game!

Yes, I've read the French part. But there was nothing for the ?
Now I see, it's still something they have to figure out, I'm very pleased with that answer :-).
Yeah inner inner core really feels weird :-).
