Subject: [External] [Phys-L] question
I heard about this recently:
If you were dropped at a random place in the continental USA, how far would it
be to the nearest state border?
Hmmm. Tough question! A Fermi question. I did some searching for state areas,
perimeters, and centers to get some ideas. Wondering if others can share some
insights.
