Hint 3: You can only develop an accurate data set by averaging

Why not require every square meter or every thousand square
miles? Why not every cubic mile?... seriously.

He was being gentle. Cubic miles wouldn't work too well, can't get very
deep. Square miles may be a good measure out in Kansas, but in New York the
placement within that square could sure skew data.
