    Bananas

    A dollar bill is approximately 0.876 bananas long, and 0.372 bananas wide, and has a surface area of about 0.326 square bananas.

    So, $95 is about 30.96 square bananas. Might as well round up to 31 square bananas.

    Feel free to check the math yourself:

    Edit: In terms of banana market value, that is always fluctuating, but if a banana is duct taped to a wall, $95 is still not going to get you even one banana.

      What are we describing when saying a square banana?

      In good faith I understand this as: the square of it’s length.

      But I prefer to interpret it as, a banana squashed until it is 1atom thin and shaped in a square (which to my imagination, is an enormous square)
