Oh good grief. OK, 26 times 900 is 25 times 900, or 180,000 plus 4,500 is 225,000, plus 900. That's 23,900. Circumference of the earth is about 25,000 miles. OK, the biggest one is still too short, unless I've done the math wrong, always a possibility. Oh, wait, the .2. D, final answer.

It's not the .2 that makes up the difference. Answer D is 950, not 900.
Also, your first equation goes off by a power of 10 in 2 places, but you come back from it at the end.

This is the easiest $100K question I've seen this season - or at least it's easy if you know (a) the circumference of the earth (approximately 25,000 miles) and (b) the length of a marathon (26.2 miles).
