Question for the Experts and Knowitalls

Now I believe the experts would give an honest answer, but the Knowitalls well hell they know it all experts on everything masters of nothing... hell if all the Knowitalls really knew what they're talking about there'd be a hell of a lot of multi billionares running about...

So, heres my question: If ya dug a hole in yer back yard 2 feet by 2 feet and 2 feet deep... how much dirt is in the hole?

I know the experts will answer honestly, the Knowitalls knew the answer before I even asked the **** question.

well since your digging a hole, theres no dirt in the hole, unless you suck at digging holes, in that case, there would be some left over dirt dropped back into the hole.

Much too small and shallow for a grave. Dig deeper.

Edited by admin..... aaah never mind, i'll just get myself in trouble.

But if you have worked with my Dad before the answer would be 1 more shovel full. It seemed the job was NEVER complete until he told me just get one more scoop and that will be good enough.

The operative word is "is", since you removed it it isn't. But then does it make a difference if the hole is in the FRONT yard?

This reminds me of a quote, "Life is hard. It is harder when you're stupid".

Not accounting for undulations or irregularities in the walls and floor of the "hole" (since you didn't specify soil type)...and assuming there is no grass...the correct answer is approximately 18,580.61 square centimeters of exposed "dirt", which equates to 0.0001858061 hectares if I calculated correctly (and I did).

Yes...I am a genius.

But if you put the dirt on a conveyor would it fill the hole back in?
Speaking of quotes this is my favorite. " You can't fix Stupid"
