    Gee, Ben, you worked too hard!
    Having had a 15' Intex Donut as soon as you said it looked to be too big to be 12' I said to myself "that's because it's a 15' pool"
    Then I figured the panels are clearly 4' panels...there are 12 of them...48' circumference, divided by PI is...15' 4"...

    I'm just lazy!

    I still think the water and people are still Photoshopped in -- in other words, those people weren't photographed in that pool. And, the water body the people were in, was 16+ feet in INSIDE diameter.

    It may be that they put a cut-out of swimmers in an 18' (OD) x 40" AG pool into a photo of a 15' x 36" pool. However they did it, when people buy an Intex 12'x30" pool they won't be able to get real-life friends and neighbors in the pool in the manner shown.

    Could be, but my donut was 15'x3' and looked about the same size, even with people in it. But your KEY point is the important one: No WAY is this a 12' pool!

    I just want to say how utterly hilarious your analysis was! I am still wiping away the tears...

    This answers your question. Exactly the same people, placement, and shadows, but in two different sized Intex pools.

    Not sure why I spent 10 minutes trying to find something else in their photos...thanks Ben
