Q:
Dear 100 Hour Board,
With one gallon of standard quality paint, what is the square footage one could paint on drywall? Let's assume that we want 2 layers of paint so it will look pretty.

A:
Dear Dastard Man,
Let's see what we can find out.
Average information for a can of latex paint suggests a coverage of 300-400 square feet per gallon can. If you do two coats, that comes to about 150-200 square feet. Check your specific can of paint to see if it says anything different.

That'll be 2 dozen pretzels dipped in white chocolate.
