It feels like Santiago’s gotta be it, but since you are asking this way it’s actually Boston, right? [:-graduate]
can we use Google?

Good question, Boston by miles and miles
Gio
Santiago would be further west. Boston is on the EAST coast of North America while Chile is on the WEST coast of South America.
All I know for sure is that Boston is further north[:-bigeyes][:-bigeyes]
My counterintuitive guess is that Boston is further west
santiago
i think is on the west coast of south america. boston on the east coast. so my guess is santiago.
what do we get if we get the correct answer

long live the cup and cris dickson
On the same line? No basis at all… just guess it must be a trick question!
Luff 'em & leave 'em.

Yes, that?s true, but east and west are relative orientations, the US east cost may bee further west than the Chilean west coast ?.
A similar trivia question is: traveling south from Detroit what?s the first border you have to show your passport?

Hi All, If I tack into the S.W sea breeze from my home town it does,nt make any difference. both places are along way from South Australia?
On similar lines to ‘FunnyBones’ Boston/ Santiago question, which is furthest west, the Pacific end of the Panama Canal, or the Caribean end?
Cheers
Ralph.

Darn Ralph. That was my followup trivia question! How could you? (sulk).

Similar “logic” notes in regard to Florida:
Jacksonville is due south of Cleveland, OH
Pensacola is due south of Chicago, IL
It is, reportedly, quicker to drive from Pensacola to Washington, DC than from Pensacola to Key West, FL
just thought I’d put in my partisan propaganda for the Sunshine State…

Ok… If a tree were to fall in a forest in Oklahoma, would anyone hear it???

Heck Travis, here in Oklahoma ya gott’a ask a few questions before you can answer that.
- Is the tree on your property? If no, go to #2.
- Was there a tree stand in the tree or was there a bunch of peacans up there? If yes to one or both questions, go to #3.
- Do you have a chain saw in your hand? If yes, go to #4.
- Look around, do you see anyone? If no, see answer below:
“Nope, I didn’t hear a thing, officer.”
Oh Well!
The answer: Boston is further west than Santiago Chile.
Santiago Chile 33 27 S and 70 42 W
Boston MA 42 21 N and 71 03 W
Pedantic types can say that the Western suburbs of Santiago are more West than the eastern suburbs of Boston, but no cigars anyway.
As someone mentioned, east and west coast are relative to their respective land masses - not absolute.
