My BrainBashers electronic world atlas has developed a fault, I did a listing of miles from England to particular countries and here is the result:
Austria 1,800 miles
New Zealand 2,400 miles
Japan 1,200 miles
Brazil 1,400 miles
How far away did it list Argentina as?

Answer
2,200 miles.
Vowels (AEIOU) are worth 300 miles and consonants are worth 200 miles.
Double-Checking
Argentina has 4 vowels (AEIA = 4 x 300), and 5 consonants (RGNTN = 5 x 200), for a total of 1,200 + 1,000 = 1,200 miles.
