109,420,977,600,000 is that about right...

[ManyBeers]

for the sq. footage of the US?

 

[GagHalfrunt]

I came up with 109,420,977,600,000.17 but maybe I measured New Jersey wrong.

close enough.

 

[Matthiasa]

I got a value of 106,101,632,906,000 ft^2...

 

[IronWing]

I got 1.03529827466912E-20 square parsecs.

When measuring parsecs does one have to account for the local curvature of space?

 

[MongGrel]

Cubic footage is ?

With or without Walmart shoppers?

Your estimates are all wet. Or at least they include too much water.

Wikipedia says land area of the US is 9,158,022 km^2, or 98,576,128,000,000 ft^2

in depends if you count the lakes or not

What about puddles?

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

If you eliminate the water, land above 7000 feet, DC and, the red States, we're down to 100 square feet per person.

I assume you're not including sub-t, everyone knows basements can't be listed in the total sqft. And wtf anyway, are we selling? Or putting in new carpet?

Might be installing a new wall.

:hmm:

 

[ImpulsE69]

Might be installing a new wall.

:hmm:

Between Florida and the rest?

 

[DaTT]

But how much does it weigh?

 

[zinfamous]

Between Florida and the rest?

No, that one involves a new canal and a mile-long, single-lane toll bridge. Similar idea, though.

Sorry, Mongrel.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Given what's happening in Georgia these days maybe they ought to get put on the Florida side. Come to think of it we should put Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina on that side too. Longer wall, but if we're going to do it we might as well do it right.

Canada comes in at 20,349,568,800 (3,854,085 sq miles). Odd I figured it was slightly bigger than the US land wise. Maybe I calculated wrong. I probably did. There's 5280 feet in a mile right? Just got that off Google.

What's funny is that the population density is about 8.5 person per square mile yet a big chunk of the population live in crowded cities. People are weird. Spread out a little.

As a side note, the Linux calculator sucks. You can't even copy and paste numbers in it.

No problem.

Cheers :biggrin:

Most Floridians might like the idea, would keep the psycho snow birds out that migrate and become news items.

Yeah I can see the add now For Sale 109,420,977,600,000 sq.ft. ranchette.

Yeah,but then you are trapped there with all the scientologists, and no escape. ....I guess that's why the gun laws there are so liberal?

Aw, that doesn't sound very Pirate friendly.

Right. The snowbirds are the problem. So much scooter on scooter violence in Florida.
