DU Quiz: laying the caskets at their feet

[welshTerrier2]

it's about time we focussed the nation's attention on who, who exactly, gets the blame for each and every one of the more than 2,000 dead Americans and who, who exactly, gets the blame for each additional death starting right now ...

it's time that we "lay the caskets at their feet" ... the symbolism is of a "noose" of caskets making a closed loop that encloses the WH and the Capitol Building ... a noose we should tighten on those enclosed with each subsequent death ...

with that in mind, here's today's DU quiz ...

assuming caskets are exactly 7 feet in length, how many caskets would it take to start at the WH, lay them end to end down one side of Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol Building, go around the Capitol Building and return to the WH down the other side of Pennsylvania Avenue?

the first "fairly close answer" wins our "honorary ghoul" award for today ...

2. 2025 or so, depending on spacing.

From 15th st nw to 1st st nw is about 1 1/4 miles, or 6,600'. Back again is another 6,600'. The drive surrounding the capital is about 3000'. Total distance is 16,200'. At 7' long, with 1' between each, it's 2025.
