Here's Chibi again, playing Devil's advocate. Those "Super Otaku Magazine" interviews have been proven to be fake. First of all, "Super Otaku Magazine" is a ridiculous name for a Japanese magazine, and it simply doesn't exist. If Daizenshuu EX's forum was up, I could show you a couple of the topics that have been done on it.
Now that we've got that out of the way, let's examine Gotenks's line in the original Japanese.
"
chikyuu o nan shuu mawatta ue ni chotto hirune made shichatta yo"
Literally: "I circled the Earth an unknown number of times (as in, "so much that I lost count), and then took a short nap." You can't get the number of times he circled the planet from
that. "A couple dozen times" was simply an adapted line.
While I'm at it, light can circle the Earth eight times in a second, not one time in a second, according to your calculations.
I know, I'm a douche bag.
