Happy Tax Day!


 In regard to taxes, how many miles constitute the U.S. Tax Code?  Answer: ≈13 miles!  The U.S. Tax Code is 73,954 pages long.  A standard sheet of paper is 8.5 inches in width by 11 inches in length.  If we multiply the length of the paper (11 inches) by 73,954 pages, we get 813,494 inches, which equals 67,791 feet.  A mile is 5,280 feet long.  Divide the 67,791 feet by one mile and you get 12.84 miles of tax code!
