The LLM is just guessing and that's quite okay

So!

If I ask a human being to tell me how many Pigeon steps to the moon.

He or she will no doubt consult NASA. To find out how many miles it is to the moon.

https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/moon-distance/en/

238,855 miles

open python in the terminal:

how many inches in one mile

12 inches to a foot - 5,280 feet in a mile

125280 = 63360

how many inches to the moon

238,855 63,360 = 15,133,852,800

Then he or she will find out the size of your average pigeon step.

lets say the average pigeon step is = 9 inches

15,133,852,800/9

there you go. 1,681,539,200.0 = pigeon steps to the moon

Even a 10 year could do it

But some poxy useless LLM just guesses.

thats not OK.
