Oops. I got mixed up in my units again. Depending on where you get your figures, they're expressed in either square metres, square kilometres or hectares.

All the more reason I shouldn't be copy editing my own work. Oh well, no bonus for me this month from Fagstein WorldMedia Ltd.

"Mount Royal Park is an obvious candidate at 1.9 million square kilometres"?

This from a guy who copyedits for a living!

I'll try saying that the 1.9 millions is for Parc du Mont-Royal, but there is 2 bigger parks, Parc-Nature de Pointe-Aux-Trembles and Parc-Nature Cap St-Jacques. The things is I can't really say what the number is for, acres, sqaure meter, number of trees...

Numbers represent the total of dead bodies. We're talking about cemetaries.

Question? Where is the biggest cemetary in Montreal?

Thanks for the hint.

Which bridges carry the most traffic in Montreal? (?vehicles, or total passengers)

1.9 million= ?Champlain bridge; probably traffic per month or per year.

Good guesses, but nope.

I'll add a hint if nobody gets it by later today.

Number of travellers in Métro stations. Top being Longueuil and Montmonrency (or Henri-Bourassa, depending on what when you are counting I guess).

Middle with 1,9 is Berri station.

The question being : what is the busiest métro station in Montreal?

Can I take library books for 1,000?
