Just to clarify the m was for metres, not million...

Is it a trick question, is there no pier in Wigan, 0m?

I should know this. I went to see it when I was a wee one. I seem to recall it exists but is very short. Very hazy memories on this though

This is correct as mick noticed.
There is no pier in Wigan, it's completely landlocked.
The pier of Wigan refers to an old canal structure & was demolished in 1929. An area is known as Wigan Pier as a result.

Well, Mick's answer of 0 is the correct one then, right?

I said to the nearest 10m
But you're welcome to let him have it if you're feeling guilty for the fluke.

Technically the nearest 10m to anything is always 10m, as anything else is not 10m. But if we assume what was meant was nearest multiple of ten, the nought is indeed closer than ten.

As a question setter it's a very difficult moral position to be in, as both answers gave a correct answer within the rules of the question and we have to give the win to the first-posted correct answer.
The fact that the latter answer was more precise is just a technicality, the first answer fulfilled the requirements of the question. However, since it was a fluke, I think we can all agree the Chen is probably right to pass it on to the more accurate and precise answer.
