Not only trivia, but indeterminable trivia. An olympic-sized swimming pool has no maximum depth and therefore no maximum weight if filled with gold. I'd bet they're accepting /apply/* (type anything in and you get a log in screen with "really, it was that easy? only one way to find out")
- jpcosta 16y agoThey say 'minimum depth' and not maximum, and there are rules for a swimming pool to be considered "Olimpic Size". See the wikipedia entry for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic-size_swimming_pool http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic-size_swimming_pool
- ojbyrne 16y agoIt says "of minimum depth."
- stevelosh 16y agoFrom the article: ... how much an Olympic-sized swimming pool of the minimum depth would weigh ... It says minimum depth, not maximum, and I'd be very surprised if Olympic-sized swimming pools didn't have a minimum depth. They may have edited it since you read it, of course.
- jambo 16y agoThanks. I probably just missed it. Here's the relevant info from FINA: FR 2.3 Depth - A minimum depth of 1.35 metes, extending from 1.0 metre to at least 6.0 metres from the end wall is required for pools with starting blocks. A minimum depth of 1.0 metre is required elsewhere. http://www.fina.org/project/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=51&Itemid=119 http://www.fina.org/project/index.php?option=com_content&...
- rglullis 16y agoThey are asking for the minimum depth, which is 2.0m according to FINA. And no! If you try to apply using a random URL, it will show a message saying that it is the wrong code.
