Message:: [QUOTE="doug5353, post: 2240663, member: 73555"]I missed the swimming pool!!!!!!!!!!!!!  But here's the stats from Wikipedia: The Federation Internationale de Natation regulates the design, layout and overall measurements of Olympic-size swimming pools. FINA functions to create consistency between different pools to ensure they meet the required measurements and is recognized by the International Olympic Committee. FINA also oversees swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, water polo and open water swimming. The committee has a written set of rules that includes every required measurement for the pool. VolumeOlympic-size swimming pool are approximately 50 m or 164 feet in length, 25 m or 82 feet in width, and 2 m or 6 feet in depth. These measurements create a surface area of 13,454.72 square feet and a volume of 88,263 cubic feet. The pool has 660,253.09 gallons of water, which equals about 5,511,556 lbs. =================So actually if reconfigured, the gold would be completely underwater, well below the surface. The cube 38 feet on a side = 38 x 38 x 38 = 54,872 cubic feet, compared to the 88,263 cubic feet cited above.  The pool in the original graphic is out of scale (in depth), obviously.[/QUOTE]
