How is halfway from St. Paul computed?

What is the most central city to meet someone from St. Paul?
Minneapolis — the meeting town Hudson, WI is about 30 min from St. Paul and 46 min from Minneapolis, the smallest longest-leg of any pair from St. Paul.
What is the longest drive with a halfway guide from St. Paul?
San Francisco, at an estimated 26 h 20 and 1685.0 mi one way — the guide's first meeting town is Lander, WY.
Can I meet two people from St. Paul at once?
The pair guides split one pair of cities. For three starting points, test midpoints in the calculator or plan a multi-stop route with the stop planner.
