Haha, thanks Tony! I figured most people would just get the idea and realize it’s stupid, but now there’s work to show that. Looks like my math got off by about 10,000 miles because I rounded, haha.

I also have a Bachelor of Science in Theatre. Always feels a little weird to say.
And it is funny that historically B.S. are supposed to be more intense and focused than a B.A…. or at the very least should be related to more concrete disciplines like mathematics or… you know, science.
33,926,867=smallest possible distance, or “s”
4,200=diameter of Mars, or “d”
2,159=diameter of moon, or “m”
238,857=distance from core of earth to core of moon, or “c”
x=distance from core of Earth to core of Mars in order for Mars to be relative to moon
m/c=d/x
2,159/238,857=4,200/x
2,159x=4,200*238,857
2,159x=1,003,199,400
x=1,003,199,400/2,159
x≈464,659 mi
x<s ∴ x is impossible
∴ chain letter=stupid and wrong

But then again, NAU is not a real school.
Woo Geoffgasm!
