Talk:Place of Lamentation

The Place of Lamentation is described as "a square two hundred metres across" (Corgi PB, p68). Two hundred square feet (a likely living room) seems cosy for all the lamentation in Omnia in the old days. --Old Dickens 02:20, 5 August 2011 (CEST)

A bit of metric/imperial confusion here?

Two hundred metres along each side (over 630 feet) works out at 4,000 square metres. Which converts into imperial as 43,600 square feet. You could perhaps fit 4,000 lamenting pilgrims in here on a busy day, plus a Dhibblah, plus complement of Guards...--AgProv 16:16, 7 August 2011 (CEST) Or my maths could be out!

200 metres square is 40,000 square metres... or ~10 acres. Slipped a power of 10 under the rug.
