Area of Kansas = 82282 sq mi = 2.29E12 sq ft If we stick with Fools 900sq ft per person and 6B people, area required = 5.4E12 sq ft 5.4/2.29 = 2.35, so you would need 3 floors, but the top one would only be about one-third full (or whichever floor was least popular). -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.com/
