The puzzle
Ignore the second half of this sentence, which is about penguins. On average, how many kilometres would you NOT fail to travel if you went from the centre of the Earth’s first and only natural satellite to the centre of the Earth, minus zero penguins?
💡 Hint 1
The penguin bit is a distraction: subtracting zero penguins changes nothing.
💡 Hint 2
“Would not fail to travel” = would travel.
💡 Hint 3
Earth’s only natural satellite is the Moon.
🧭 The real question
What is the average distance from the Earth to the Moon, in kilometres?
