Kansas Is Flat.
And it’s not even close. The Department of Geography at both Arizona State University and Texas State University decided they needed to find out for real if Kansas is flatter than a pancake. On a millimeter scale, if 1.000 measured perfect flatness, a pancake clocked in at .957 rate of flatness. Pretty darn flat. Kansas however, is so flat that the researchers brought in new technology because the simpler technology recorded Kansas at 1.000 perfect flatness. Upon further review, that number is actually a .997 rate of flatness. Almost perfectly flat.
