[Year 12 SofDev] Video tour of Microsoft's cloud computinginfrastructure

[Mark KELLY]

I have a iOS app that claims to convert from any unit to any other unit,
but it does not include football fields.  I shall notify them angrily
forthwith.

However, research indicates an American football field to be 109.7m x
48.8m, giving an area of 5353 sq.m.
Since Aussie football fields have no standards that I know of, I chose the
MCG as the de facto unit of reference. It is claimed by the MCC to be about
20,000 sq.m.

Ergo, one standard Aussie Football Field (AFF) = 3.73 USFF.

I hope that helps  :-)
