Trivia Week: How Many Tiles in the Tunnel?
Here’s today’s question: How many tiles cover the walls of the Tunnel?
Here’s my answer: 69,660
I know that Tunnel is 5160 feet in length or 61,920 inches. If the tiles are 16 inches long, that means there are 3870 tiles for one row. There are 9 tiles high and 2 walls. So (61920 / 16) * 9 * 2 = 69,660.
Anyone else care to venture a guess?
It requires a lot time in the Tunnel to think about this.
