7 inches diameter, radius, or circumference?

I feel like they are probably just guesstimating by using goatse as a source, so diameter?
Any normal person would assume diameter and no-one outside of mathematics would assume radius in this context.
I've spent some time in dungeons. I might assume radius.
I said normal person. Potholers don't count.
My first assumption was diameter but then thinking about how this is tested I bet it is width, so half circumference.
That means D=4.45” so just over one raccoon, maybe one raccoon and a trinket it found and won’t let go.
Why does the first sentence feel like a shitty loading screen tip?
Yeah the new Fortnite update is weird
These are all the new maps that they've added (and that's a newspaper).
I don't know but I want to make a game now, just to include this in the tips.

Well, that's two parallel raccoons.
I assume with work you can do raccoon multiplexing on multiple axes.
looks up raccoon skeleton geometry and algorithms to solve square packing problem
Because I'm pretty sure it's more than two.
Ok, yes, but... it's likely not three. And fractional racoons aren't recommended for...well anything really.
Do not ask if you should, ask only if you could!
And consider: if the widest part of a raccoon compresses to 4" on one axis, its entirely plausible you could pack two in side by side on the narrower axis, perhaps angled in a V shape, with another across above them, against the roof of the sphincter
I wouldn't bet on a 4th, but also would not rule it out without firmer numbers than I have.
The same way not everyone can run like Usain Bolt not everyone can stretch like Goatse.
One racoon tops, in a good day.
How many rabbits is that? Asking for a friend.
As the clip goes, "Armageddon!"
