Math Quiz #1: Journey to the Centre of the Earth
In Contest #1 you needed to guess how far we would be travelling on our trip around the world. A hint was given to you indicating that the circumference of the Earth at the equator was about 40,075 km. Assuming that the Earth was a perfect sphere, how far would you need to travel if you took a direct journey to the centre of the Earth from the Earth's surface? Hint: Do you remember your grade 8 geometry? The answer might also involve a number that sounds like Mom's home baking!
