note
counts range from fairly hard to fairly wild

basic sovereign territorial multipoints
161 continental or terrestrial points
007 territorial seas landward of everyones land
150 points where 2 or more national territorial seas meet the high seas
thus always precisely on the leading edge of everyones land
& typically everyonese tripoints & binational quadripoints at once
318 subtotal

extended sovereign rights multipoints all in the high seas
160 where several national eez &or shelf boundaries meet
always within the greater everyones land
130 at the outer limits of international eez &or shelf boundaries
thus always precisely on the trailing edge of everyones land
290 subtotal

608 grand total of both the basic & extended categories

ps to grant
i think the reason you were so puzzled at evhritsi aka hritsihrsi may have
been because of the unusual quintipoint agreement & happily repetitions of
such a weird happenchance seem unlikely
but there is also the common difficulty there of seeing a single point from
2 perspectives for it does now appear that a hitherto scarcely noticed
sort of hybrid binational quadripoint & everyonese tripoint at any rate is
to become a commonplace in our survey as noted above simply because
territorial sea boundaries segue almost everywhere into eez boundaries &
those transitions are typically at what might be called in peters argot 3 &
a half points for they are just tripoints on a higher level & quadripoints
on a lower level & nothing new & so similarly evhritsi is just a quadpt
above with a quintipt within

just for another example
about 12nm from the diomede islands i think we can expect the twin 3 & a
half points ruusruusn aka evruusn & ruusruuss aka evruuss
etc etc
