Precisely it would take 105,714,892,800 sticky notes to cover every square inch of Chicago. How did I come with that?
3 inch x 3 inch sticky note
63,360 inches per mile
63,360/3=
It takes 21,120 stickies lined up to cover one linear mile.
21,120*21,120=
446,054,400 stickies cover one square mile.
Chicago is 237 square miles of land.
446,054,400*237=
105,714,892,800 sticky notes to cover Chicago.
I was thinking that every time I place a sticky note, how much of Chicago do I cover? 0.000000000945940514% of Chicago. I think that’s right. Correct me if my 3:30am math is wrong.
