A sign somewhere in the United States says that London, England, is 4386 miles away and that Tokyo, Japan, is 6182 miles away.
Where in the U.S. is the sign?
(Consider the earth to be a perfect sphere of radius 3959 miles, and that London is at 51°30’ North, 0°10’ West and Tokyo is at 35°40’ North, 139°45’ East.)
just for humors sake I punched in the lat and long of the solution into google maps, then used street view to have a look around, and low and behold they must have taken down the sign LOL. It seems the sign would be sitting in the middle of a parking lot, interesting place for a sign :-)
