Variables II: Way Down Deep with Whale Sharks

The chimpanzees thought they had their fill of variables, so they decided to give the rest of the variables to some birds, who gave them to some whale sharks. Now the whale sharks are experts at variables. Whales sharks reach an average length of 32 feet, but there have been reports that the smarter ones (the ones who know variables super well) can exceed 59 feet in length.
