According to this website
http://http.hq.eso.org/outreach/spec-prog/aol/market/collaboration/erathostenes/

the circumference of the earth is
40,090 km in equatorial (radius is 6378 km) &
39,958 km in polar (radius is 6357 km).

But this website says
http://rainbow.ldeo.columbia.edu/courses/v1001/fermi.html

it is 24,000 miles (which is 38,400 km) and they claim
that each time zone has 1,000 miles.  

Which 1 is correct.
