| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): May 02 04:37AM -0500 This contest is now open only to Dan Blum, Bruce Bowler, Pete Gayde, Joshua Kreitzer, John Masters, Dan Tilque, and the entrant posting as "Calvin". See the earlier postings for full rules. 4. The easternmost point or arm of the Pacific Ocean may reasonably be taken as being on the Chilean coast near the mouth of the Rio Loa, about 50 miles north of Tocopilla; the westernmost, as being on the Gulf of Thailand coast near Tawanchai Beach, about 50 miles north of Surat Thani. Comparing the longitudes of these two points, what is the *maximum longitudinal extent* of the Pacific? Answer in degrees, with decimal fractions if applicable, not degrees and minutes or other units. Note: Answers will be compared by absolute difference from the correct answer, not by ratio. -- Mark Brader "It's okay for us to love our country, Toronto but we ought to spend most of our time msb@vex.net making our country lovable." -- Andy Rooney My text in this article is in the public domain. |
