the ratio of surface area to volume of an object is inversely proportional.
that is to say, when you make the object much larger, the amount of surface area to volume goes down.
when you make the object smaller, the amount of surface area compared to the amount of volume goes down.
consider a cube with equal sides of 2. The volume is 2x2x2 = 8. The surface area of each side would be 2x2 = 4. Times the 6 sides ... 4*6=24.
So the surface area to volume ratio would be 24 to 8, or 24/8, or 3
now make the cube smaller with equal sides of 1. Volume is 1*1*1 = 1
Surface area is 1*1 per side = 1, * 6 sides = 6.
Surface area to volume ratio is 6 to 1, or 6/1, or 6.
you can work it the other way too and see i'm correct.
so if you take a lumpy piece of chalk and grind it into a small powder, you have taken a larger single object and made it into countless incredibly smaller objects.
since you're volume is unchanged, the amount of total surface area must be much greater in the powder.

What does the numbers mean in hetaoni?
(Contains Spoiler for those who have not made it passed the part were the countries are all in the cell) Be more specific please... If you are talking about the numbers on the floor in the attic room with that weird lumpy thing, there are 80 and they represent the possible 80 timeloops Ita- has gone through. Each number is how many were left in each timeloop. In the memory of the first timeloop where Italy, Prussia and Germany are in that room (they are ones that are left) there is a three on the floor, simbolizing how many of them are left when they get there. That is the theory anyway. If you are talking about the room in the attic were all the numbers seem like they are in clock order, each number is supposed to represent a month. Other wise I have no idea what you are talking about... :P~ Veh -Adios, and happy trails.
How can you find the volume of a lumpy rock?
This is one way which works only of the rock contains no bits which are water soluble, and the rock is relatively small. Fill a graduated container with water to a height greater than that of the rock, record the measurement of the water meniscus. The gently submerge the rock into the container and then make a not of the new measure of the water level. The difference in the two levels is a measure of the volume of the rock.If the rock is larger, then you will need two containers, the first container needs to be large enough to hold the rock fully submerged, and the other like a large tray. Place the first container inside the second and fill it so that it is full to the brim. Then very gently lower the rock into the container. Make sure that all the overflow (and nothing more) is caught in the second container (tray). Measure the volume of liquid that has overflowed.
