Actually...

Assuming a set-up similar to earth, with an arbitray zero, with Longitude
measured east and west from it, to 180 Degrees on the other side of the 
world, the opposite side of the world from 70 Degrees [East/West] would 
be 110 Degrees [West/East].

Sorry for the nitpick. Geography is one of the things I like to do. :)
