Michiel, you will never goad me into giving you an answer that you've
already determined will be the wrong answer. The variation in the radius
of the earth you have used is not the same as the one I might use.

Thus, there is no 'correct' answer.

BS, I'm not the fool you think I am. Suffice to say that the distance can
be determined by finding the length of an arc. Your preset distances can't
be used unless you give us the exact radius you used to come to your
conclusion. But, thanks for playing.
