Question 1087886: The original "Ferris" wheel, designed by George Washington Gale
Ferris Jr., was built for the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893
in Chicago, Illinois. There were 36 fully enclosed gondolas
passenger cars that carried up to 40 passengers
This "Ferris" wheel eventually left Chicago and was relocated in
St. Louis, Missouri in time for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. On May 11, 1906, it was demolished using a
dynamite charge and sold for scraps
The circumference of the "Ferris" wheel had to be large enough
to allow for an arc length of 21.94 ft between each gondola
What was the circumference of the original "Ferris" wheel?
Round to the nearest whole number.

Actually, as it is presented/printed in the post, this problem can not be solved
and the question can not be answered correctly, until the length of each gondola is given.
As this "problem" is presented in the post, it is somewhere between a Math joke and Math stupidity,
but closer to Math stupidity.
It contains many words to confuse a reader and to distract his/her attention,
but does not contain vitally important information.
So, the problem's composer not only confuses the reader - he/she confuses himself (or herself).
