EDIT: Now that it has got me thinking though, chances are the demigods are really just completely unaware of how powerful they actually are. I mean when training in the first book there is no mention of moving faster than a car. only that that he could not outrun nymphs. maybe he just wasn't aware of how quick he was going because he was losing. I'm looking and they don't seem to say that anywhere. They say Percy's max strength is errupting Mt. St. Helen's and fighting Hades and Hyperion on par.

They discuss it in a potential upgrade thread. They have not decided on it. That's part of how the wiki works. They get feets in the medium they are talking of, and try to calculate and decide whether it counts. Everyone in the community contributes. They don't pull it out of their butts.

But yes. Look back at the feets I listed of Percy's and tell me which one's you don't agree with. The sky holding calc is moot since I did not mention it and they did not agree on it.
