Sidequest: Turn a newspaper statistic into something you can picture.

Find the underlying source, check the denominator, and design an honest physical-scale analogy with calculations shown.

What I can provide: Article or statistic.
Please deliver: A source check and scale illustration.

Ask only for missing information that materially changes the result. Otherwise, state reasonable assumptions and keep the scope manageable. Use reliable sources and link them. Verify time-sensitive details such as hours, prices, access rules, and availability when relevant. If you cannot verify a detail, label it clearly and give me a way to check it. Show the assumptions and calculations so I can check them. If a required tool or source is unavailable, ask me for the relevant material or explain the limitation. Return a draft or plan for review; do not send messages, make bookings or purchases, or change my files or accounts unless I separately ask.
