Fact 1112 — distances to New York

The claim is false when Tokyo is used as a representative Japanese city. Using city-center coordinates and the great-circle formula, Honolulu–New York is about 7,982 km, while New York–Tokyo is about 10,852 km. The latter is roughly 2,870 km longer. Distance to Japan depends on the point selected, but the stated comparison is not supported. [1–3]
