Puzzle ZNQY 



??

My BrainBashers electronic world atlas has developed another fault, I did a listing of miles from England to particular countries and here is the result:
Chile     800 miles
Wales   4,200 miles
France  1,100 miles
Italy   3,400 miles

How far away did it list Scotland as?

Answer
2,300 miles.

Take the alphabetic position of the first and last letters, add them together and multiply by 100. S = 19, D = 4, 19 + 4 = 23, 23 x 100 = 2,300.
