How long is all of our hair put together? Do we circle the Earth?

Yay, I love this thread!
An extra 4" since my last post (if only I hadn't trimmed ...

)

4514 + 4 = 4518

how about?? if not literally, I think all of our hair circles the Earth figuratively....we're from every corner of the earth, right?

O.R.

I don't officially know my inches but I will approximate:

4518 + 42 = 4560

O.R. that's a nice thought! And from another perspective, maybe each of our strands laid in a line circles the earth. Let me see, assuming a sitewide average of 30 in length per strand...

30 in*100,000 strands=3,000,000 in /12= 25,0000 ft for each of our heads

131,477,280 ft = circumference of the earth (after a short Google search from a likely unreliable source)

so that means we'd need this many of us to circle the earth:

131,477,280/25,0000=

526 of us

Which we have! (I think?)

Sidenote, I did this math wrong too many times. It's late here. It's probably still wrong and please call out mistakes. I also got stats from quick Google searches and therefore likely unreliable sources.
