Re: numerical computation contest

This whole thread reminds me of an easy (for you all) geometry question. Imagine a sphere the diameter of the Earth. Add to that a belt around the equator that has no space between it and the surface of the sphere. By how much must the length of that belt be increased to allow a playing card to be slipped underneath the belt at all points along it?
