TODAY’S PUZZLE:
This famous copper-clad statue in New York Harbor is an early example of what type of construction?
YESTERDAY’S ANSWER (mouseover to see):
Search [Rhode Island size] and find that it is 1,214 square miles. Search [acres in a square mile] and find there are 640 acres in a square mile. Multiply 1214 by 640 with the query [1214 * 640] to find you’d have a 776,960-acre farm. Or, use Google to find the same thing by doing the query [1,214 square miles in acres].
