In what universe does 167 swimming pools equal the Atlantic Ocean? Redditors tried to figure out how this calculation went so wrong. The leading contender is Successful_Unit_7184, who said:
I'm not about to do the math myself, but it appears that the writer looked up the volume of the Atlantic Ocean online and then calculated exponentially wrong, which undercuts whatever it is they are trying to say. The Kirksville Daily Express is paywalled after a couple of pages, so I couldn't get far enough to find the online story to link. It may not even exist anymore.
