Puzzle for the Day

Distance Puzzle

Last night, I was looking at a road sign and could see that Leeds was 13 miles away, Stoke was 13 miles away and Leek was 10 miles away.

Unfortunately it was too dark to see how far it was to Manchester. Can you help me?

Solution (Previous Puzzle):

468.

Each line is generated by multiplying two digits at a time of the previous line.

986888 = (9x8)(6x8)(8x8) = 724864 = (7x2)(4x8)(6x4) = 143224 = (1x4)(3x2)(2x4) = 468.
