Sorry it this is a repost:

But how much paper if you printed the entire work book and how many trees as a bonus.

The largest cruise ship (Legend of the Seas) is 365m long, 65m wide and weighs 248663 tons.

The strongest hurricane ever was hurricane Patricia in 2015 reaching sustained winds of 345 Km/h and low pressure of 872 milibars.

Edit: the ship “survives” as long as it’s not sinking. Glasses can be broken, the pools and water slides can be damaged. But the ship must not sink and engines should be working.

I’m curious how much driving time this saves overall. If you assume a driver would have a green light 50% of the time, how does the extra distance/detour compare to the time saved by not having to stop at a red light? Has anyone done the math on this?

As more balls are included how does the probability of a collision change? It gets more likely clearly, but how would you express this mathematically?

Realistically how many calories would be the total cake, obviously in the millions if not a billion? Do not take into consideration the Piranha Plants, the side cake, or the figs. Obviously its a guestimate, especially with all the different toppings and whatnot but... whatever. Daisy & Rosalina are added for scale.

Would it be possible for a person of average strength to push over or snap a 6ft tall scale skyscraper built with real materials and foundation?

(Coming from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/1w5px3g/what_would_be_the_answer_to_this_interview/ )

Essentially the question is: "Someone has 2 children: at least one is a boy born on Tuesday. What is the probability that both are boys". And through some mathematical fuckery the answer is ~48%.

I will explain the ONLY way this fuckery happens:

The problem is NOT "You meet a random family who tells you at least one of their children is a boy born on tuesday, guess the gender of the other".

It's "you are a researcher finding random families with at least one boy born on Tuesday. What is the probability the family has two boys?"

How the hell is this intuitive when the original problem even attaches a name to the father in this family? How do you deduce you're in some lab??

Genuinely the stupidest fucking problem and stupidest "paradox" I've seen in my life. I just had to talk about it.

edit: old explanation was garbage

Purley hypothetical. A vessel of this type would be useless

Title. How would you even compare them? number of neurons?

So in this video, how high does everyone get at the apex of their "flight"? The music and sound effects are terrible, but the question still holds.

I thought of this as I was going to bed last night.

So I'm trying to figure out how many cats could fit into my 15 × 15 × 9 room, and already determined it would be about ~12,000 cats. But my next question is- would the bottom cats squish, or would it be more like being 9 feet deep in water considering the density of a cat is similar to water?
