Canon Heights(???) & Carmen Sandiego

Hi all 👋

I've recovered from the month and a half I spent on the Carmen Sandiego timeline and am back to my regularly scheduled obsessing

Which has expanded to the characters and how tall they are because seriously how tall are they oml????

Now, I assume plenty of us have seen this image before:

You can find it on the Official Carmen Sandiego Facebook back from Oct 2019 (not sure about the Instagram or Twitter I'm too lazy to check)

It's widely been used as the canon basis for the character's heights, though I found myself unsure of its reliability

There have been a multitude of posts using the same "Your [Insert Topic Here] Your Carmen Sandiego Character" format, none of which seem to be canon to the show

The Zodiac and Birth Month ones actively contradict each other after all

And I can hear you saying "this really doesn't matter, this is ridiculous online person I don't know"

And you would be correct but I'm nothing if not a nerd so guess what I stumbled upon during my timeline rewatch

Boom

Directly from the show, Graham's mugshot. This is a very frustrating image to be honest because if you look closely between the 5 and 6 foot mark there are 10 lines as opposed to the 12 there should be corresponding to each inch

But oh! There's another image with his mug shot!

This one has no numbers.

So I did what any sane person would do and resorted to math

First I took Chief's image and deleted her from existence, leaving only Graham

Then I undistorted the photo so that it properly lined up with the flat version Bellum displayed so I would know where the foot markers would line up

These were 14 notches apart. Equally unhelpful. So I accepted my fate and pulled out the pixel measurements. Between the 5 foot and 6 foot line was 405 pixels

Between the 5 foot mark and Graham's head was 358 pixels

Using this very simple equation

[A (px) / B (px)] * B (in) = A (in)

We can find out how tall Graham is

358/405 * 12 = 10.61

Round that up to 11 inches and add the 60 inches that makes up 5ft we get a resounding height of 5'11" (or 179 cm)

(if you're confused on why the math works, we know that 405 pixels = 12 inches, we're looking to find what 358 pixels out of that 405 is which is why we multiply that fraction by 12. 405/405 times 12 would equal 12, same idea applies to 358/405. I hope this makes sense.)

For the rest of the characters we can use this lovely height chart

You can find this chart on the Official Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter (I checked). They're separated into individual photos, I just lined them all up into one big one here, it has been unaltered otherwise.

Using the same formula the character's heights are as such (rounded up or down accordingly by the decimals):

Coach Brunt: 6'10" (208 cm)

Countess Cleo: 6'6" (197 cm)

Boris: 6'6" (198 cm)

Male A.C.M.E. Agent: 6'4" (194 cm)

Cookie Booker: 6'4" (193 cm)

Chief: 6'4" (192 cm)

Shadowsan: 6'4" (192 cm)

Le Chevre: 6'3" (190 cm)

Devineaux: 6'3" (190 cm)

Prof. Maelstrom: 6'2" (187 cm)

Zack: 6'1" (186 cm)

Agent Zari: 6'0" (182 cm)

Mime Bomb: 5'11" (180 cm)

Crackle: 5'11" (179 cm)

Carmen: 5'10" (177 cm)

Tigress: 5'10" (177 cm)

Ivy: 5'10" (177 cm)

El Topo: 5'6" (168 cm)

Vlad: 5'7" (171 cm)

Julia: 5'8" (172 cm)

Teenage Carmen: 5'5" (166 cm)

Dr. Bellum: 5'3" (159 cm)

Player: 5'4" (162 cm)

Child Carmen: 3'10" (117 cm)

Kid Carmen: 2'6" (77 cm)

What does this mean? Either the cast of Carmen Sandiego is ridiculously tall or this is all vaguely nonsense

Regardless of my dubious findings I thought it was fun and might as well post what I had

The chart itself does have some merit though, using Carmen's 5'7" that is listed in the Facebook post as a basis you get these heights instead:

Coach Brunt: 6'7" (200 cm)

Countess Cleo: 6'2" (189 cm)

Boris: 6'3" (190 cm)

Male A.C.M.E. Agent: 6'1" (186 cm)

Cookie Booker: 6'1" (186 cm)

Chief: 6'0" (184 cm)

Shadowsan: 6'0" (184 cm)

Le Chevre: 6'0" (182 cm)

Devineaux: 6'0" (182 cm)

Prof: Maelstrom: 5'11" (180 cm)

Zack: 5'10" (178 cm)

Agent Zari: 5'9" (175 cm)

Mime Bomb: 5'8" (173 cm)

Crackle: 5'8" (172 cm)

Carmen: 5'7" (170 cm)

Tigress: 5'7" (171 cm)

Ivy: 5'7" (170 cm)

El Topo: 5'3" (161 cm)

Vlad: 5'5" (164 cm)

Julia: 5'5" (165 cm)

Teen Carmen: 5'3" (159 cm)

Dr. Bellum: 5'0" (153 cm)

Player: 5'1" (156 cm)

Child Carmen: 3'8" (113 cm)

Kid Carmen: 2'5" (74 cm)

This one feels slightly less outlandish, but really Player is still stuck at 5'1" as a 16 year old so how realistic can it be

I hope someone enjoyed my ramblings, however inconclusive they may have been 🙌

they're exes and i cannot be convinced otherwise

alright someone tell me what they think happens to the VILE operatives who don't graduate or do but don't actually attend the ceremony

Because we know VILE takes in 40 thieves every year, and it seems to be exactly 40 based on the result sheets from when Carmen attended

If we take a look at these screenshots we can see just how many passed the exams

They're aligned in nice little columns of 10 trainees

For which I assembled a nice little diagram to showcases this

You can see that in the third column there are two boxes with both an X and a check mark, this is because they're inconsistently placed on the screenshot (it's marked differently in that box screenshot to screenshot). Only two are ever shown to have failed in that column at a time though so we're gonna stick with that

This means that of the 40, 32 passed and 8 failed.

Yet only 16 attend "graduation"

According to the "Who in the World is Carmen Sandiego" book, there were actually two graduation ceremonies. One in the assembly hall, a celebratory event in which VILE was still referred to as "Valuable Imports, Lavish Exports"

It's only in the in the second graduation, "Senior Seminar" as it's called in the book, that the true name of VILE comes to light. The operatives there were completely unaware of what this seminar would entail. They were chosen for their "willingness to go to any necessary extremes".

This seemingly separates the graduates into two groups

Group 1: Has the skills but not the drive

Group 2: Has the skills and the drive

Group 1 presumably never finds out that VILE is the Villains International League of Evil. What the hell happens to them? They've got plenty skills but they don't have what it takes to truly be a VILE operative. Do they become the guards we see stationed at VILE facilities, are they disposed of in some other way?

And the people who didn't graduate too, what about them? Are they mind wiped and sent back out into the world? Do they retake the course? Is it dependent on their allegiance to VILE, like if they're mentally ready just not practically?

Carmen was the exception because she lived there BUT I NEED TO KNOW

please give me your opinions i love consuming knowledge
