An almanac clue is a type of clue used in geography questions that focuses on a relative trivial piece of geographic information, such as the exact length of a border, the exact latitude and longitude of a country, or the average temperature at a location. Writers are discouraged from using almanac clues in questions due to their focus on a relatively insignificant piece of information like the precise length of a river that mostly rewards rote memorization of facts from almanacs rather than more in-depth understanding of various geographic features and concepts.
