There is a trap in the question - that we might mistake "one-half mile square" for half a square mile, when of course a square half a mile on each side is a quarter of a square mile.

Glatt was way too smart for that. Pfft.

ETA, For this New Years Eve, I'd like to meet a girl as easy as this puzzle.
