Turns out the Great Wall of China is a full 3,850km (or a bunch of miles) longer than was previously thought. Former estimates were based on historical records and put the Great Wall at only 5,000km. This development reveals two important things-
1) 3,850km of previously buried sections of the Great Wall AND
2) that despite the long-held and popularly accepted stereotype, not ALL Asian people are good at math (a theory that first took hold when it was revealed that China didn't know the difference between the numbers 14 and 16.)
UPDATE: A new US Geological report has acknowledged that due to a surveying error in 1868, the location of the famous “Four Corners” (where the states of CO, UT, NM & AZ meet) is actually 2 ½ miles west of where it’s supposed to be. Four Corner Gate sent shock-waves through the RV/retiree communities and safely returned the stereotype “human calculators” to Asia.
