Default Expansion of the Universe

At what speed is the Universe currently expanding?
I'm just doing this for my OU course, I worked it out to 61.3 km/
s/Mpc.
The accepted value is around 60 but anywhere between 40 and 100 may be
right !!

That is, assuming we are expanding from the point where The Big Bang

occurred
No, everything is zooming away from everything else, there is no "
point of origin" weird.
Also c is still a constant, things do not exceed c, ...ever...!
(except on Star Trek) :-))
