HS Round 2 Question 4

 
Ryan: Rick, pick a square. 
 
Rick: I'll take Dean for the win, please.

 

 

  
Ryan: Dean, which is longer: a land mile or 
a nautical mile?
 
Dean: I actually know this because I've 
measured it myself.  Do you know how difficult
it is to run a tape measure between two boats 
that are floating away from each other?  

(audience laughs)

Dean: Rick, I'm telling you that a nautical 
mile is longer.
 
Rick: Who am I to refute that?  I'll agree.
 
Ryan: Nautical mile is 6080 feet; land mile is 
equal to 5280 feet. Circle gets the Square and the win!
