Inconsistent circumference figures: 26,659 m (infobox) vs 27 km (body text)
The article gives two different figures for the circumference of the Large Hadron Collider. The infobox states the circumference as 26,659 m (26.659 km), but the body text states: "It lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference." The difference of 341 m represents approximately 1.3%, and the two figures are not distinguished as measurements of different things. Could an editor clarify whether "27 km" is intentionally rounded or reflects a different measurement, and make the article consistent?
