POP QUIZ!!!

Please note that this is not a blog post — we just need this format for responses.

[EDIT: Yes, we have a winner, and details will be forthcoming tomorrow. Stay tuned!]

The PRIZE is pretty big. It’s an AT-TE courtesy of the HunterPR team (thank you Joe and Danny) and Hasbro (thank you to the entire team — even the people we don’t see, the elves). The math won’t be easy, but the reward is worth it!

The new Hasbro "Big Arsenal" AT-AT measures "more than 24 inches tall, nearly 28 inches long, and 12 inches wide". By contrast, the Super Star Destroyer Executor is enormous… many times larger than an American football field.

For the purpose of this pop quiz, let’s assume that Hasbro’s new "Big Arsenal" AT-AT is exactly 28 inches tall. If Hasbro‘s new "Big Arsenal" AT-AT were able to move at the same relative (scaled) speed as its full-size counterpart, how long would it take to walk across the entire full-size Super Star Destroyer Executor, if walking at maximum speed? (Why not?)

Calculators are allowed, but show your work (explain how you got to the answer). You must include citations to any sources of size information; Web links allowed.

Yo! Wookiepedia people! Stormy Sevenspire and his bio were APPROVED by LFL, so it’s not "fan fiction" — so when someone posts it, quit being so hateful. (Sorry, had to rant.)

Everyone 13 and older is eligible to enter. Kids, get a parent/guardian’s permission before entering (or doing anything these days). The prize will go to the first correct answer within a reasonable margin. It’s all out there, you just need to do some math. (On a FRIDAY – I am pure evil.)

   Hey, I e-mailed in my reply! This and the e-mail I contacted you with the answer with are different because I have registered with WordPress before but I can’t remember my Username. HahAny chance of more pictures of your Clone Wars stuff?

   I’m definitely going to have more fun with The Clone Wars figures. I think I shot a few right before Toy Fair, but once that starts, well, the tunnel vision kicks in.

   Adam,
   Not sure whether these comments post on the site immediately or on a delay basis, so I am emailing both my answer and my work.  It’s 8:19pm on Saturday.

   Adam–looks like it doesn’t post right away so I’ll include my answer here:
   A Toy AT-AT can cross the outside hull of the Executor in 10 hours.
