in thread 1. Go compare! Guardian's algortithm riddle and mathematical proof

Just found one in the wild:
the bodies that make up [the Oort Cloud] are small — fewer than 60 miles (97 kilometers) in diameter

It should be very obvious why this is wrong: the diameter of an object is not a discrete (integer) number of miles/km — stupid English conventions notwithstanding.

(And don't get me started on the conversion of 60 miles to 97 km.)
