Silly question

MayMay · 06-06-2007 03:08PM #1

But I am silly! Just want to know how much of a distance is 200m? Say how many feet? Thanks.

That's not a silly question. It's just boring.

A silly question would be:

How much fish is a giraffe?

It'd be roughly about 200m

Ah no that would be cruel. It's
[SIZE=+1]656.167979 feet[/SIZE]

a simple google search is all you need.

No, that's more like 200 yards... We're in the metric system now so its a bit further on than that... Nearly as far as the tree i'd say... Wouldn't you?

For a huge guestimate there is just over 3ft in a meter.

its the distance "yore ma" has to keep away from me due to the restraining order! Silly!!!!

18, 25, 63 damn it I'll get it sooner or later.

So if someone told me our new house is 200m from the main street that's like a minute walk?

Sorry I know it's a crap question and I've just made all your days that little bit more dull.

AnonoBoy · 06-06-2007 03:17PM

For God's sake.

Ever seen a 100m sprint? It's twice that long and you'll do it in a very short time indeed.

Now.... how much fish is a giraffe?

...and your a slow walker.

bonkey · 06-06-2007 03:30PM

Say how many feet?

And who's feet are talking about?

that's like a minute walk

Ah...maybe we're talking about the feet of the walker.

I'm confused.

In easily visualised terms, about the thickness of two and a half million human hairs.

Note, not to scale.

I walk a km in about 10 mins, so it would be 2 mins for 200 metres. Roughly speaking that is.

Duh, one obviously. How much refers to fish in the singular, i.e. one. If the question were how many fish then that would be a whole different kettle of, eh, fish I guess. This only applies to integer values of fish though.

Not so silly now eh?

Anywho on the whole 200m thing, if you've ever seen a 50m swimming pool then 200m would be four times that length. So it's from here to there times four. Simple, no?

2 football pitches.

Silly question
