A better question might be which is closest to a nautical
mile at the equator. One minute of latitude or one minute
of longitude.


Much better!

The farthest point

How could he get it correct when he has is backwards? Something smells fishy here....
I sure wouldn't award a point to somebody who gives out the wrong conversion. If he used his
own conversion he would've gotten it wrong. Duh! He obviously cheated.
