I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

There is only one sort - the rest have to have other words to qualify the bastardized version being played.

What conversion did you use? Google gave me: 0.06754641639540194531 Which is nearly 3 meters off!
Hence the "approximately" - you forgot to allow for the ballistic curve distance.

Go on... The only reason I answered is because I was expecting something to be "non-obvious" and I was interested in knowing what it was. I certainly wouldn't count the additional officials as being "on the pitch", so surely it's only 22 players and 1 referee? And not sure how the pass distance can be wrong, surely that is just corner to corner?

Corner to corner yes - not a straight line though :-) (This question was from a real pub quiz and very nearly caused a fight)

I did consider that, but how would it be possible to know? Depends how high you can kick the ball... or is there technically a maximum "legal height" for a ball? Though that would be pretty difficult to enforce. Hence you can only really give a point-to-point answer. I guess you could kick it to one corner and then a strong gust of wind could send it right back to the original corner doubling the length... but then maybe the wind suddenly changes direction and sends it back yet again.

Too easy, the answer is obviously 42

Interesting about the curve... though a pass would surely be the distance from point A to point B, rather than the distance travelled?
