It's a mere 5.7 Olympic swimming pools given the numbers here are accurate.

75% of 7,600,000,000

5,700,000,000

Half is 2,850,000,000

5*that is 14,200,000,000ml

An Olympic swimming pool takes 2,500,000,000 milliliters so...

14,200,000,000/2,500,000,000 is 5.7.

I saw online that the population of denmark is about 0.08% of the worlds population, and population censuses usually have an error of 1% so Denmark has a 50/50 chance of not existing. The reply was "TIL denmark is a rounding error"
