LOL - that's pretty funny. Played the same way way back in the day. Surely someone is geeked out enough to have run the calculation.

And it was from his staff, which shortens the distance at least a few feet.

And wasn't this the same Saruman who caused snow many miles away (he was at it again this weekend), then even caused a lightening bolt to hit Caradhras?

Which raises the next question - if Saruman could do all of the above, couldn't he have hampered Gandalf's escape via the Eagle?

Note that I'm not that serious about all of this - it's not like it's 'Gandalf losing to Witch-King' important...
