July 24, 201312 yr If the Earth was a sphere (I know, lol), and I mean a perfect sphere, and you wrapped a rope around the great circle of the sphere, how much length would you need to add to the rope in order for it to be able to be 1 meter off the ground?

July 24, 201312 yr So the new LoF alt makes math puzzle threads?What does the circumference of the Earth have to do with the plight of the proletariat? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

Do I need to be stoned to work out the answer? Rope around the circle : Circumference of Earth (CoE) = 2πR where R is the distance from the surface to the center of earth. What he's asking is, essentially how much more rope would be needed to circle the earth if the circle was built from the center of earth ® + 1 meter. So what added to the CoE would equal 2π times the Radius +1 meter? In essence X+CoE = 2π(R + 1meter) X+ 2πR = 2πR + 2π meters X = 2π meters = ~6.28 meters I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

July 24, 201312 yr I know you are clever and I was hoping you would respond Amentep what do you do for a living? Aren't you a lecturer of some sort? Nope. But at one time I was headed to be a maths instructor. And its not really cleverness either (particularly the first time I get the maths wrong - been over a decade since I've looked at most of this stuff).

Okay but your understanding of math is still impressive, well for me it is "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
