WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF CRAZY CALCULATIONS

INTRODUCTION
When I was a boy I was always doing crazy calculations like How long would it take an ant to walk to London? Or how many potatoes I had eaten in my lifetime or if all the people in China stood on a chair and jumped off at the same time together would it cause a tidal wave in the USA. My original idea behind this site was to make calculators like that. So far most of the calculators have been boringly sensible. I intend to make some more crazy ones soon. The idea behind this site is to make calculators which are very easy to use for interesting or useful calculations. Some of the calculators are very useful, some are educational some are just for fun.

If you want to see a calculator on this site which does not exist already you can request it using the calculation request link above. We never charge anything for making a calculator, it is all free. Below are recently added calculators.

Get the driving route between any two places
I made this route maker so that I can send a link to anyone in our hiking group to show them how to get to the start of the walk. You can probably do this on a smartphone but I much prefer to do things with a laptop with a normal keyboard. Just type in the name of the start point and destination and a map will appear then click the link to make the link. Then copy the link into an email and sent it.
