I think they will stack 593 km high.
750 km high?
… all this math is hurting my head!
545 km
Cookie boxes stacked end to end will reach 775 km high.
Cookie boxes stacked flat on top of each other will reach 238 km high…
I don’t usually muse about such things…I just eat ’em!!!
732km
345 kms
I say 240km.
They would stack up to approx 609 km
567 km high! of course those boxes would be empty LOL

Thanks Linda. We’re looking into this asap as it is randomly assigned based on our content with the word GIRLS. If we cannot rectify the situation within a few minutes, we will substittue this clue within the blog post above and take it down from Slideshare all together.
I much prefer inrfoamitve articles like this to that high brow literature.
499 km is my guess.
500 km
801.5 km
my guess is 756 km
the clue says 236 – 803 km so could be….
236,237,238,239,240,241,242,243,244,245,246,2247,248,249,250,251,252,253,254,255,256 ect.
But my guess is 715 km
553 km
696 km
756 km
394 km
239km stacked flat
768km
after carfully reading question 6, and having the meanings of the questions clarified, i have to change my answer to question 3, it should be a much larger number than this… so my new guess is 1300 km’s

600 km of cookies
720
