Architecture Answer - for last issue's quiz...
House sizes around the world have been increasing even as
family sizes have been shrinking. As of the mid-1990s,
the average family size in the United States was four,
according to a report from the United Nations, while the
average size of a new U.S. home was 1,600 square feet
(150 square meters). At that time, only one of the
following had a larger average new house size. Was it
Japan, Kuwait, Israel, or Great Britain?

This Week's Quiz -
We all know a dollar today does not buy what a dollar
bought 100 years ago. Imagine what portion of a house
$100 would have bought in 1907 for your great-grandfather.
Now take a guess: about how much would that portion of
house cost if constructed in the U.S. today?
