the 1000000 kilos of earth (mass) directly below my feet and the 1000000 kilos of earth on the opposite and furthest point on the earths surface. N|S axis? equator?

It should not be 1 unity because one mass sample is further away, that's the point of the question.

Let F1 = the gravitational force exerted on the 100 kg body, by the 1000000 blob of earth it's standing on.
Let F2 = the gravitational force exerted on the 100 kg body, by the 1000000 blob of earth on the other side of the globe.
Hope this is what you're looking for. I wasn't really sure, the way the problem was stated.
By Newton's law of universal gravitation,
F1 = G * m1 * m2 /r1^2
F2 = G * m1 * m2/ r2^2
Take ratios
F1/F2 = (G*m1*m2/r1^2)/(G*m1*m2/r2^2)
= (r2/r1)^2
r1 = the distance between the center of mass of the 100 kg object and the center of mass of the 1000000kg it's standing on.
r2 = the distance between the center of mass of the 100 kg object and the center of mass of the 1000000kg blob on the other side of the globe.

you are able to not evaluate a guy to a girl. each and each is diverse. yet a guy, and a woman, supplement one yet another. In different words, one guy and one woman (mutually) is one unit. they seem to be a complementary pair.
