Having watched the above video the following question arises.

If the average small female head weighs 9lb, and given that the human brain only accounts for approximately 43% of this weight, when the woman's head exploded what would be the surface area covered in blood.

Hint - Make the following assumptions
The brain is completely made of blood which has the same weight as water.
The blood is dispersed at an average thickness of 1mm
Convert all measurements to metric ie. 9lb = ? kg
