#3. Similar here...I looked at the bag, then at the square and thought they would be a similar surface area, that being so it had to have something to do with the corners...but...my bloody head was throbbing so much I turned of the computer and went back to bed.

I had every tool out of my tool shed and after I had put them all back there was only one tool left in the room. O:)
