Pool volume

Go to: http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_metals.htm
The site says that one cubic meter of platinum weighs 21,400 kilograms. Thus "over 200,000 kilograms" would be about ten cubic meters of the metal. I'm not too sure what the square footage of an average swimming pool might be, but slicing these cubic meter cubes into 10 centimeter slices (approximately 4 inches, for the sake of argument) would produce 100 slices, or 100 square meters, that's a 10 square meter pool. Not tiny, but not huge.

Thanks, I moved this back to the discussion page
