as an olympic swimming pool. then it would be like trying to find a large grain of rice somewhere in that water. add darkness and ocean currents, and actually it s nothing like finding a needle in a haystack. it s much more difficult. so mr. quest yes. he joins us live. that s him right there. your piece is based on 123 mile square trek, but the actual search is 150 mile track, right? that was at the beginning when they first started. obviously it s a movable feast. but today s search area is 216,000 square kilometers. i m going to have to turn to my fellow panelists who are more familiar with doing the conversion. what s 216,000 square kilometers in old money? don t ask me to do math. 1.6 kilometers to a mile, but i know it s not strictly that conversion when it comes to square miles.
