Trying to get a feel for the size of the Sniping Range in Border, specifically the number of terminals.

In chapter 34, the first view of the range: - The room is split up into at least 4 partitions (lines on the back wall/floor) with at least 16 terminals in each. (Probably closer to 20) - The room is 10 floors high, but there probably aren't 10 floors of terminals.

In chapter 107: - There are at least two floors of agents using the range - There are 128 agents using the range at this training session - Toma using terminal 235, the highest numbered terminal on the floor (Next to Ema at terminal 234, Chika at 233 etc...) - Chika and Izuho comment that there is no set of two terminals next to each other on the floor. (And that there could be downstairs)

This means: - There are at least 64 terminals per floor - There are at least 235 terminals. (This is probably the total count) - The top floor has fewer than 257 terminals (Otherwise 128 people wouldn't be able to block all adjacent sets of terminals) Judging by Chika and Izuho's commentary, the entire range probably has fewer than 257 terminals, as they weren't certain they could find a pair of terminals on the lower floor either 235 does not split evenly into either 2 or 3, so there can not be the same number of terminals on each floor of the range.

My best guess would be that a contiguous set of 5 terminals or so would be taken up by something else, leaving two floors with 115 and 120 terminals, or three floors with 75, 80 and 80 terminals. Since each terminal looks to be over a meter wide, a two floor range would need to be over 120 meters wide (1/3 the length), and the 3 floor range would be over 80 meters (under 1/4 the length), so the 3 floor range seems more likely. A 4 Floor range could be possible if one of the floors had substantially fewer terminals. 65, 65, 65 and 40, with 25 spots on one floor used for other purposes. Perhaps a control room?
