MileCalc says it's 54636 miles r/t, but flying N it will credit only 0.5 EQP's per mile = still 27318 EQP's total!!

In case I'm calculating right, this is enough for the Platinum and even the EXP challenge... Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!
You should not be looking at the roundtrip mileage on MileCalc because you entered the entire itinerary which is already in roundtrip form.
ORY-LHR-SIN-LHR-MAD-LHR-JNB-LHR-ORY will actually have a base mileage of 27,318
-20%
=21,854 AAdvantage EQMs you will earn
-50%
=10,927 AAdvantage EQPs you will earn
