An excellent thing to blame them for, then :-)

[kaberett]

i mean i actually looked this shit up (and did the calculations) to irritate them and also to prove a point

because what better way to troll people than with comparative sheep population analysis

but i still reckon it means that's their fault ;)

[kaberett]

PS I am really looking forward to someone crying over the degree of precision I give ;)

That's a lot of sheep. And yarn.

[ghoti]

Given sheep per sq km, I think we now need to calculate how many feet of yarn can be made per sq km.

YES YES YES DO IT

*enables & encourages*

Feet per square kilometre? Surely the right unit is simply m^-1. :-)

[ghoti]

See, but then meters would cancel and I forget what the prefix for 10^2 is.

Unit conversion is my nemesis.

(reminds me of the quip that physics problems will always be written in the most inconvenient units, like furloughs per fortnight.)
