Seriously, with the ""30 cubic foot room"" thing??!!

A 30 cubic foot room isn't a 'room' at all, but a box. A box just a smidgeon over three feet, one-and-a-quarter inch on a side.

An olympic swimming pool is 50mx25m... which for us 'mericans is 164'x82'. 30 cubic feet, spread out over such an area as the footprint of an olympic swimming pool, would be 0.027 inches deep... less than 1/32 of an inch. 0.68mm for you furrriners.

Assuming my back-of-the-envelope guesstimate of 32686 cubic feet is anywhere near accurate, spread out in an olymipic pool, it would be 2 feet, 5 &1/8 inches deep.... or .741m.

If the actual all-time 'platinum cube' were, in fact, 20' on a side, the depth would be 7 & 1/8 inches... or 0.181m.

Why am I posting pointless figures at 12:30 when I have a long day at work tomorrow? LOL

We'll never know what the actual amount of platinum ever produced is, but it's for darn sure more than 30 cubic feet. My guess is it would be somewhere between 20 and 30 feet on a side, but as we've seen, that's a HUGE range.
