IQ test question



OK, think this is the real answer

Answer should be slightly less than 20, all units the same. Assuming the Earth is spherical it's this
2*(12756.32/2)*Sin(((20*1.609344)/(12756.32*pi)*360)/2)

=19.9999918 km

but cos the diameter is smaller North to South it's a bit less but i can't do that


It would be funny to submit that answer, might have the judges scratching their heads a bit.

I dont think that was on there :)

(oh and the answer should read miles not, km, and "assuming the Equator is circular" not the "Earth is sperical")

(ps if the anwers a little bit wrong its cos my brother helped :) )

Were they driving the same types of car? Were the odometers calibrated 100% correctly? What condition were the tyres in (new/ bald/flat)?

We need to know to get an accurate answer.
