India. You would have to set off somewhat perpendicular to the Indian coastline to be perfectly straight.
For some reason I don’t think this is true.
A straight line connecting two things does not necessarily have to connect to said things perpendicular to their border.
Not to mention, India’s coastline is very much not straight on a local scale. You’re bound to find a place where it turns perpendicular to the journey close to the theoretical starting point anyway.
Yeah but, I’m talking about this particular case, not making a mathematical rule. You have to move away from the coast, and then cannot turn, so you have to head towards Africa. You can’t set off toward Australia. Although I hadn’t considered that you can just move the starting point. So, there’s that.
