Bonus Question!

snowman?

Answer 1

A typical Olympic-sized swimming pool holds 660,253.09 gallons of water

EDIT: Snowman takes about a trillion snowflakes for the regulation sized ones anyway.

Answer 2

We need to know the size of the pool first.....

so that means you need to make a visit to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimming_po...

An Olympic sized swimming pool (first used at the 1924 Olympics) is a pool that meets FINA's additional standards for the Olympic Games and for world championship events. It must be 50 m (~164 feet) in length by 25 m (~82 feet) wide, divided into eight lanes of 2.5 m (~8.2 feet) each plus two areas of 2.5 m (~8.2 feet) at each side of the pool.

so that's 50x25x2.5= 77.5 cubic meter

now, you need to convert that to gallon. that can be done in google.

by typing

"77.5 cubic meter in gallons"

into google search. you will find

77.5 (cubic meters) = 20,473 US gallons.

I won't be answering the snowman question because there is no "definition" of a "regular sized" snowman.  Therefore, no way to answer that in an objective manner.
