How Good is Your Geographic? [4]

[janvanvurpa]

OK. Time to bring this thread back.

Remember, this forum is a Global MOTORSPORT forum in nature. As such, questions should be rather more inclusive than, say, naming a village that may or may not have appeared in a Borat movie.

So in the spirit of Earth-Wide Geography, here's a question that you might answer simply by studying that spinning globe in the study....

By the shortest route, which 2 World Capitals are the farthest apart? (ie virtually at opposite ends of the Earth)

Sorry, I though people knew where things that were for decades at the top of the MOTOR-SPORT GLOBE were built.
I do.

1) I wasn't necessarily picking on you
2) Your question had already been answered by Lousada
3) The thread was idle

I don't have a globe handy but I'm willing to take a flying **** at a rolling doughnut: Ottawa Canada and Pyongyang N Korea via over the pole?

I don't have a globe which puts me at a slight disadvantage, but I'm willing to take a flying **** at a rolling dounut. How about Quito Ecuador to Kuala Lumpur via the north pole?

gee boys, a motosport forum, a fantastic record at the highest levels for decades and nobody can look and find Huskvarna?

Sorry.

You are missing the point. The rules of the game specifically prohibit looking the answer up - unless the poster of the question says you can. Which you signally failed to do, allowing the game to stall

Rekjavik and Wellington

Papeete - Tokyo?

[edv]

Quito to KL is a very good answer...but there is one pair of capitals (which are antipodes) that are a few km further apart.

Canberra, Australia and Ottawa, Canada?

[edv]

Nope.
Almost all of Canada is antipodal to water.
