Hi, there, Professor Madfish here again. There are two parts to the Quiz Question No.4; firstly : How many miles have we travelled to visit Uncle Ray and Auntie Pat in New Zealand?
You will need to look up the 3 air flights in this blog, note the miles travelled and then add them up to the total. No calculators please - I want you (whatever your age - we have no ageism here, thank you) to add up the three figures using a pen and paper and longhand addition.
Secondly: with this information, try to guess the circumference of the world (circumference the distance all the way round the earth without changing direction). Will it be more or less than double that of the distance we have travelled? And is the circumference around the equator the same as the circumference around the north and south poles? (Good question, hey!).
