~2 000 kilometres to London (from Finland) or ~1 200 miles or ~21 881 American 'football' fields. What do I win? I want a prize.

E: corrected maths. Me dumb. Thanks Zilli.

Sweden alone is 977 miles long.

I think your football field conversion is wrong by a few orders of magnitude.

20 000m / 91,4m = 218,81. I got the 91,4 metres for average American football field length off of a very quick Qwant search. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

2 000km are 2 000 000 meters. Since a football field is roughly around 100m it should be more like 20 000 football fields.

Ah shoot you're right, I had a total brainfart while converting units hahah.
