0:07.1	number 466.
0:11.1	Whoa, that's a lot. That a lot at only 19,730 square miles
0:16.7	Costa Rica is obviously smaller than some US states but the question is how many US states is it smaller than so if Costa Rica was a US state
0:28.2	where would it rank by size?
0:31.6	Take a guess Heather what do you think? So you want me to guess where it would
0:37.3	rank? Yeah, where it would rank? Like out of the 50 states? Out of, yes there, out of 50 states, Yes there out of 50 states where would it rank?
