Insomniac quiz for the day:

[BorepYano]

I'm bored and can't sleep, so in my insomniac state i thought this up, see if you can solve this:

If the distance between each degree of longitude at the equator is approx 111km, what is the approximate distance between the following coordinates:
90°N, 100°E; and
90°N, 30°W

If it helps, you can assume the earth is a perfect sphere, instead of a oblate spheroid.

Cookie for the first person to get it

P.S. Yes Stef, I did post this up on my FB as well, so you don't need to make any special mentions of that, or in fact this on FB either.

At first i thought the answer was 14430km
But then i saw the trick to it and im pretty sure that the answer is 0km

I know, but I couldn't sleep lol

Its not actually 0km, as the earth is not a perfect sphere, the answer should be 0.0000000079km

well actually, since the N90° means it's the north pole, and every longitude line converge/originate at both of the poles, so N90° and any longitude value will always pin point the same point (the north pole), so the answer is exactly 0

You need to get a hobby or maybe a job

[Kustom]

Yep I agree.

[Supplanter]

Thread spamming seems to be a popular hobby around here, maybe you could take that up.

Oh wait, nevermind.
