| - About 40,000Km iirc...
- No idea, about 2/3 of the first one so roughly 27,000Km
- Less than the straight Sears Tower

| At the old Wembley it was 39 steps to the Royal Box.
(At the new Wembley it is 107, iirc).
If you just say Wembley it could even be a bit of a trick question  | |

Will basically start with this question... the team that is closest will win a prize anyway... and if there are any teams tied at the end of the night, then their answers for that question will determine their position.
| Where are you doing the quiz, who for and when - would help give some character to your question.

:thup: to the Equator.
You forgot to half the circumference for the Pole-Pole question though.
Surprisingly the difference in circumferences isn't that big:
Equator = 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 km)
Longitude= 24,859.82 miles (40,008 km)
