My BrainBashers electronic world atlas has developed a fault, I did a listing of miles from Scotland to particular countries, and here is the result:
England 12,000 miles
Peru 6,000 miles
Egypt 9,000 miles
Iceland 11,000 miles
How far away did it list Ethiopia?

Answer
11,000 miles.
Each vowel (AEIOU) is worth 1,000 miles, each consonant is worth 2,000 miles.
Double-Checking
Ethiopia has 5 vowels (EIOIA = 5 x 1,000), and 3 consonants (THP = 3 x 2,000), for a total of 5,000 + 6,000 = 11,000 miles.
