For those of us who are twelve year olds: a millimeter is roughly 1/25 of
an inch, so a square millimeter is ~1/600 (1/625th is closer, but makes
the math harder) of an inch. 58,000 is ~60,000.

This leads to 60,000/600, or 100 sq inches: a 10x10 inch opening.

All this without a calculator :)

We have the same magnitude, at least.
