The following diagram depicts the Earth. For the sake of convenience, and simply let us consider that the earth is completely spherical. The earth is completely spherical. The topmost point (N), where all the topmost point (N), where all the great circles meet, is called the North great circles meet, is called the North Pole. South Pole is denoted by the point (S) is exactly opposite the North Pole. All the vertical circles are passing through each pole are called longitudes and all the horizontal circles that are parallel to each other are called latitudes.

Let the center of the earth be denoted by C and the radius of the earth is 6370 km. A man has to reach from the North Pole to a point D on the latitude with radius 31853 km in the Southern hemisphere of the earth. Find the minimum distance along the surface of the earth that he will have to traverse.
