Here it is, a question that could make or break a nation's morale. Can you fit the entire population of Ireland into a pub at one time. Take out the chairs, tables, and pack every last person you can in to the pubs of Ireland. Could you fit the entire population? Millions and millions of people? Are there enough pubs? What do you think?


I put the theory to the test and calculate how many pubs there are in Ireland, how many people you could fit in them and see just how close you can get to fitting them all in. As a bonus, I also calculate how much it would cost the Irish state to buy everyone a round on just such an occasion.
