How Much Dirt?
===============

I want to test your mathematical skills

Calculate the amount of dirt in the following size hole in cubic
feet or cubic yards:

6 ft long x 3 ft wide x 18 inches deep


Tis 1 yard^3, how much dirt, well, upto that amount.



Actually I did. Your testing folks knowledge of language.

I gave the cubic volume measure, and said it can hold UPTO that amount
of dirt. As I don't know how much dirt is in the hole, that is the
answer, although I'm willing to bet, it ain't much more than a measuring
errors worth.

Language Lawyering is an old game, it goes both ways. Gotcha.
