      Wait, wouldn't it depend upon his point of origin, Professor?

    Are you saying this is a trick question?

      No, not at all. It's the answer that is, while not a trick answer, a tricky answer, merely because the point of origin is factor X.

  • The hell it doesn't!  I had to endure my family's farts all the way from Texas to California and back!  I wasn't even a contender for their nose & eye burners. xD

      It's not half-way around the world.

      Of course it is, if a person goes 51% or 3/4 of the way around the world from his or her point of origin.

    I don’t wish to argue semantics, but the Q asked, “ Have you ever BEEN more than halfway around the world”, not, “...GONE more than halfway....”.
    There is a difference. 

    Consider: 
    If we consult basic geometry, we know the farthest distance between two points on a sphere are the points exactly at the opposite side, halfway around.
    Hence my reply. Thoughts? This post was edited by Don Barzini at November 4, 2018 7:17 AM MST
