In 2006, two men in New Zealand and Spain created an "Earth sandwich" - by placing bread on precise points, either side of the planet, at the same time. The men used longitude and latitude to make sure they were precisely opposite. That meant there was around 12,724km (7,917 miles) of Earth packed between the slices - and some 20,000km between the men, for those forced to travel the conventional route.
