Depends
I have a question about the following sentences from a novel.
"See that mountaintop?" Smith pointed. "A chopper landed on it twenty minutes ago."
"Great." Edwards unfolded his map and sat down. "Hill 1063 - that's thirty-five hundred feet. Makes a nice lookout point, don't it? You suppose they can see us from there?"
"Ten or eleven miles. Depends, skipper. I figure they're using it to watch the water on both sides. If they have any brains, they'll ' keep an eye on the rocks, too."
"Any idea how many people they have there?" Edwards asked.
"No way. Maybe nobody - hell, they might have been making a pickup ... but I wouldn't bet on it. Maybe a squad, maybe a platoon. You gotta figure they have a good pair of spotting glasses and a radio."
