While driving in an exotic foreign land you see a speed limit sign on a highway that reads 180,000 furlongs per fortnight. How many miles per hour is this? (One furlong is 1/8 mile and a fortnight is 14 days. A furlong originally referred to the length of a plowed furrow.) * 47 mi/hr 57 mi/hr 67 mi/hr 87 mi/hr

Tom Cogwagee Longboat, of the Six Nations of the Grand River, is one of Ontario's best known distance runners.
