I wonder how many mathematicians are competing. Hint No 5 has been posted. Most of you folks are in the right 1000 bracket now.

Hint No 5. The NEAREST so far has gone 69 over so that guess doesn't qualify, but the nearest WITHOUT going over is only 73 off.
These numbers can't be accurate. I think you missed someones guess.
I think cabomhn is correct, but that is based on the lower number and then adding the 73 to it. But the next number higher number is 23010 and if you subtract 69 you get 22941....
so I will guess 22941 KM
Cabomhn, one of us has to be right

Oh, I see what you mean. So you would be correct. Either that or the 23010 was missed in the giving of the hint. Only time will tell. So good luck to you.

Whew! That was quick. We have a winner
Congratulations - cabomhn
The coins departed Ontario, stopped over in Vienna & fortunately for me, ended up in Brisbane.
