however now that i realize i flipped the math around in my head (3.1 miles is 5 km not the other way around), i'm satisfied with 1 km.

typographical errors aside (including spelling spider-man wrong), isn't this question another one that's explicitly prohibited as it's only known to a special group? the villain in the answer is not from a movie; it's solely from the comic.

"What is the only way to destroy a diamond?"

there are many ways to destroy a diamond. diamonds can crack if hit at just the right/wrong angle. and while intense heat (given as the correct answer) will indeed destroy one, a nucular bomb (another given answer) also produces intense heat. if 'destroy' is intended to mean something more specific than fractured, then the question should say so. i'm quite confident that had i given my wife a fractured diamond and insisted it wasn't destroyed, i'd still be single. and yes, i realize that proper cutting is a form of fracturing, but if we're using common sense here, then broken is destroyed unless explicitly defined differently.
