Hmmm. I woulda thunk half that, ie r-sqrt(r^2-2.8^2), where r = 12,756.3 km.

Having spent a frustrating afternoon putting a coat of white paint on an
already white ceiling, it occurs to me that any line you could follow
would be a bonus. Is that something a laser level could do?
The tinted paint that's supposed to show you where you've been is
totally useless IMO
