35% bigger in all directions. Eight foot two inches, 200 kilos

Check your math. A 35% increase in linear dimensions implies a factor of 2.46 increase in mass (1.35 cubed). So his original weight is about 81 kilos or 180 lbs.

[/ QUOTE ]Fair enough if this was the explanation intended. I took "bigger in all directions" to mean "35% greater in all measures" instead of a literal 35% expansion outward from his present dimensions.
