Either distance quoted is close enough for my needs. Thanks
In that case, I hope for your passengers sake that the runway is really long! :eek:

Incidentally, the Motorway (freeway) speed limit in the UK is 188160 furlongs per fortnight. Worth knowing, I think.
Phew! just as well I only wear waist-length leathers then! :LOL: :biggrin: :confused: :( :oops:
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
The original question is not specific enough to provide an appropriate answer.

To provide such an answer it would be necessary to know (at least) :-
What is the exact, starting location in Los Angeles?
What is the exact, destination location in Auckland?.
Is the distance required the measurement between the two locations of :
- the shortest line, or
- the shortest, available, surface, travelling distance, or
- the normal, commercial, flying distance, or
- the estimated, calculated difference with reference to latitudes, or
- some other nonsense?

Apart from all that, I can't imagine why the OP needs this information (and doesn't even need it accurately), or why he/she could not have found it via a web search.

Good thing we shouldn't judge. ;)

Everyone needs a little help sometimes. (y)

Huh?

Cannot agree - everyone who doesn't know how to search the web probably needs help more than just sometimes.

Ponsonby said:
So, because you can't imagine why the OP needs this information, then he can't possible need it?

And because he chose to ask for the answer here, he must, of necessity, need "more help than just sometimes"? Why did you feel the need to respond, Ponsonby?

I neither wrote nor inferred such a thing, but it's an interesting possibilty.

I can't imagine the pocesses that cause you to suggest this.
What I posted was "...doesn't know how to search the web probably needs help more than just sometimes".

Or to put it a little differently, it is probably more likely help from others is needed due to insufficient effort at self-help.

Good question - either must have had sod-all else to do (like now) or thought I might be able to irritate a few people (also like now).

Why did you feel the need to respond?

I can only assume that you have come across that quote very recently.

Too bad the author is unknown. I'd like to go find him/her and make them feel special with a fist to the nose. :x
