A different "Answer Man" tackles a question about a Luther College ad on MPR

(It's a little-known fact that Mr. Answer Person has a relative who works for the Rochester Post-Bulletin newspaper.  Frankly, Mr. Answer Person doesn't like to talk about this because "Answer Man" is a MInnesota Vikings fan!  But occasionally he does his family proud--such as his answer in the Rochester newspaper to this question involving Luther College):

Dear Answer Man, "I've heard an ad on the radio (Minnesota Public Radio) that says Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, is "two hours south of metropolitan Minneapolis." Do you consider that accurate?"

Answer Man says: "For law-abiding drivers, no, it's not.  Even if you consider Lakeville the very southern edge of "metropolitan Minneapolis," Google Maps estimates it's a 2 1/2-hour trip to Decorah."
