By 'south of the Rio Grande', I mean 'into Mexico' rather than 'anywhere south of 31N' - I thought this was standard usage, but various of my friends in Cambridge interpreted it the other way.
If you're lowering sea level, I think you get an extra continent of Zealandia before you get a dry path from Oslo to Sydney; it looks from the Google bathymetry, though I wish it had numbers on, that there's no path from Australia to New Zealand without crossing water deeper than any you'd encounter going Singapore - Borneo - bottom of Sulawesi - Maluku islands - western Irian Jaya.
