A difficult math question. One would hope that these two did not finish high school. If they did, public education needs to refund our money.

Yes, but what really matters is how do the polar bears feel about the gas you are burning.

Greenpeace decried the episode as "highly irresponsible" and “Perhaps Clarkson and his cronies felt that climate change wasn’t destroying the Arctic quick enough, so they decided to do this."

Of course because the closer to the North Pole that you release CO2 the faster the ice will melt! /s

That should give hope to the two young fellows in the video that they're not the dumbest humans on the planet. There are Warmers.

Only makes sense if “west” means you stay on the same parallel (~88d 52m -N)

Going initially @ Az. 270d as the crow flies won’t return you to the starting spot.

They vote.

They are living in a nice house as well. Wonder who paid for it? Wonder who pays for their stuff?

They drive and walk among us.

The comments are as bad as the video.

Actually, the crazy geniuses of BBC's "Top Gear" did that challenge with racing a dog-sled team (Hammond - passenger) against a Toyota Hilux/Tacoma driven by Clarkson & May (2007).

As Hammond and crew have shown, the Hilux is a hell of a rig.

That depends. If you are driving with a menopausal woman, it takes about 7 hours (or at least it seems like it).

When you're in a situation like that, you REALLY begin to understand Einstein's Theory of Relativity in relation to time.

Which is precisely what this video should be used to do: to campaign against such a proposal.

...so, in your estimation, these two, minus marijuana, would answer the question correctly...?

...I think you’ve completely oversimplified the problem...
