List of districts of Germany
Germany is divided into 401 administrative districts; these consist of 294 rural districts[1] (German: Kreise [in North Rhine-Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein] and Landkreise), and 107 urban districts (Kreisfreie Städte or, in Baden-Württemberg only, Stadtkreise – cities that constitute districts in their own right).[2][3]
Historical
gollark: But instead people just decide that anything complicated-looking is obviously impossible?
gollark: I mean, my approach to such a problem would just be to duckduckgo "factorize number" or something, and most of the programmers on the servers potatOS is tested on were fine with it. People could even have just *asked* how to do it.
gollark: It's not a hard problem. I'm not doing it in my head.
gollark: But somehow SO MANY PEOPLE don't get it. They just say "HELP ME IT IS DIFFICULT MATHS IS THIS VIRUS" or "WHAT IS THIS I DO NOT KNOW MATHS WHAT IS SEMIPRIME" and stuff.
gollark: I thought "well, this is an easy problem, you just need to duckduckgo 'factorize number' or use the `factor` command".
