In this case the distance between "f" and "s" is only one "ascimile" which is much less than a mile. :D

No, distance between "i" and "s" is "mile" and 1st 4 characters "facs", so totally "mile+4 letters" is the longest word :lol:

A mile may be too short even when you walk along the beach with your another half !!! :wink:

How about parsec, kiloparsec, megaparsec, gigaparsec?
1 Parsec = 206,264.806 Astronomical Units or 3.26156 light-years
( 1 Astronomical Unit is roughly equal to the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun.)
( 1 Parsec = 19,173,500,000,000 miles )
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsec

Also tera-, peta-, exa-, zetta-, and yottaparsec.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yotta-

And even xenna-, vendeka-, googol- and googolplex-parsec
http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/kinsella6.html

I hope you might find interest in the above information. It’s my pleasure to share with you all.

Happy Canada Day !

Dear, Nick, but we are after the longest word, not the distance units. For a word to be long, it should have a distance unit within it, like: SmileS :-)

Have a nicer try. :-)

Hi Iraqi,

Oh yes, I have missed typing the letter ‘s’ after the letters of “p a r s e c”.

They should be written as :

kiloparsecs, megaparsecs, gigaparsecs, teraparsecs, petaparsecs, exaparsecs, zettaparsecs, yottaparsecs, xennaparsecs, vendekaparsecs, googolparsecs and googolplexparsecs.

Now, as in the above examples, the first few letters of each word is a ‘parsec’ away from the last letter ‘s’. Do they fulfill the requirement ? Please comment !

( 1 parsec is approximately equal to 19,173,500,000,000 miles )

With no clue about its meaning, what I am left with is a mere guess :)

Before that, what is this mystery -- Mister History? :?

To combine Nick's question with Gray's comment, I have come up with this equasion:

Mister History= Mister Mystery :-)
