The way I figured it out:
The question was asked so there must be a "real" answer.
The way it was asked it must be deductable since
most people would not know it.
Kilometers is a clue since even if you knew the distance in Miles
most people would not be able to convert it. It could be a distraction if you took off on or gave up knowing you could not do the translation.
The main clue in the question: "Exact"
Waat is the only number that can be "Exact" in any unit of measurment.
That is how I remember doing it.
And as for those who left the magazine around
One was an engineer
The other is an artist.
(PS: did not mean to be a smart *** here)
