Here is the next one (if I won)
If you could wrap a string around the world, about 25,000 miles long and pulled it tight, how much string would you have to add to be able to slip your hand under the string and over the earth?

Can any one do better?
1 foot is too much. But you're close.

This is in homage to my home town:
The last man ever hanged for a crime in the province of Alberta committed a series of vicious murders. He was caught hiding in a pig farm a 1/2 mile south of this town and initially held in this town's fire hall cells.
Bonus points if you know the year this all went down...

You're very close in location and time but not quite! True the murderer was from Stettler but that's not where he was caught.
