What is the most direct route to Beijing from Detroit?

Question

In what direction (relative to straight down) would I drill through the Earth to get from Detroit (42º N, 83º W) to Beijing (40º N, 116º E)?

Answer 1

haha im sorry .

but you wont make it.

you'll melt, but ehh go ahead anyways

Answer 2

The polar route

Answer 3

I'm too lazy to do the exact math right now, but I'm not sure if you'd go deep enough in the mantle to melt.  I know you would angle the hole way north of straight down.  Being at practically the same latitude, 161 longitudinal degrees apart, that would be pretty straight through, but at roughly a 45 degree angle to stay at the same latitude (I'm estimating).
