i don't know where i got the figure, but i always thought that to circle the earth at the speed of light, you'd do it 23 times per second.
That reminds me of the Millennium Giants and Supes Blue & Red circling around the Earth constantly....you sure you didn't get it from there?

Just saying. Circumference of Earth ~ 40,000 km. Times 12. 480,000 km. Speed of light is 300,000 km per second. That's 1.6x FTL.
Surface area of Earth ~ 510,000,000 km. Times 12. 6,120,000,000 km. That's 20,400x FTL.
So, it might be either one. Take your pick. lol
If i use your formula, that would place rogue at about 20 times the speed of light when she flew from the earth to the moon or moon to earth. It wont cut it in a comicbook using real math.

I don't really care. You can't assume Zoom and Wally weren't going under light speed when the math says they were. The writer, Johns, gave us numbers to work with for a reason. He said circled the globe a dozen times. Bam, that's 12. In less than a second. Bam, that's 1 (rounded up.) Now we figure out what 'circle the globe' actually meant.
It's not that unbelievable when Wally has plenty of feats of him breaking the speed of light.

Wally's EXACT words:
"We've covered EVERY INCH OF THE WORLD . I've seen dozens of my fellow heroes. But no one can help. This fight... It's only gone on for LESS THAN A SECOND ."
the entire surface of the planet in LESS THAN A SECOND.
going by this:
