That’s not a pond. That’s a big vase

Assuming it's 1500mm and 800mm deep, then it's 8.7m3 which is ~9000litres

Bloody odd shaped pond.

Daffy is the winner for

a. Spotting that it wasn’t 150mm

b. Correctly working out the volume

He is a newly appointed Doctor of Pondology however

Woohoo!

First thing I've calculated correctly this week.  For those of you flying Airbus this summer - I wish you the best of luck...
