# 17. The worlds largest Christmas Cracker stands at 181 feet, 11 inches and therefore if stood on uits end, is taller that the Statue of Liberty - the Statue of Liberty (of course) being 151 feet, 1 inch tall.

I think you're assuming a fairly small average size of cod there, say 4-5kg. If they all grew to 12 kg or so you're looking at nearer 3km.
