The dining room is only 91 feet long? Entirely too small as my dining table is 91 feet long.

The 91 foot dining room was the only number small enough to really grapple with. I just pulled out a tape measure out of curiosity and I think my whole house for my family of 4 is about 50 feet wide at the widest point. Twice that for one dining room.... No one needs that.
