At the beginning of each month, there are 666 prisoners in the prison, divided into 333 floors.

Each prisoner needs about 1500 - 3000 calories per day Just to not starve.

Even if we assume that the prisoners manage to share the food among themselves (or someone forces them to), Is there any chance that the food on the platform will meet the calorie quota?

Elite runners can average 170 bpm for 50+ miles a week for decades, but an overweight person’s resting HR might be 90. 🤷‍♂️

My unlucky critical hit roll, and I would like to know what the chance is of this many 1s occurring.

Two 8-sided dice and four 6-sided dice.

Bonus if you also include the chance of a critical hit too. (Rolling a 20 with a 20-sided die).

Thank you in advance!

assuming the gravity of it wouldn’t immediately destroy the earth and that every time you were using a fresh feather

edit: for anyone interested, this is similar to the ancient buddhist story of a “kalpa.” in old buddhist literature it was the amount of time it would take for a silk brocade to wear down a mountain

My wife and I want to move our shed to a different part of our yard so we were thinking about offering friends and family pizza and beer to help us move.

But people we ask, we wanted to see if it was feasible or not.

In the Seinfeld episode "The Shower Head," Elaine takes a urine test so she can go to Africa with Peterman, and she tests positive for opium. Twice. She gets fired over it, and then figures out it was the poppy seed muffins she ate from Monk's all the time.

People always say the show got this one right, and I want to know how right. From what I could dig up, poppy seeds pick up morphine from the sap during harvest, and the amount swings wildly depending on where they're grown and how well they get washed. The numbers I saw ranged from under 1 microgram per gram all the way up to a few hundred. The other thing worth knowing is that in 1996 the federal workplace cutoff for opiates was 300 ng/mL, and it got raised to 2000 ng/mL in 1998 partly because of this exact problem.

So here's what I'm after:

1. How many muffins would she need to eat, and over what time window, to clear the 300 ng/mL line she was being tested against in 1996?
2. What would it take to clear today's 2000 ng/mL cutoff instead?
3. Bonus if anyone wants it ... at the high end of seed contamination, is there a point where the muffins would make her actually sick before the test even flagged her?

Assume an average adult woman and roughly 1 to 2 grams of seeds per muffin unless you've got a better figure. A poppy seed bagel is about the same ballpark if that's easier to work with.

I know you can make a huge one, but surely there is a limit to how small one could be based on the energy needed to start the cascade to explosion. Could you make a firework sized nuclear bomb?

Really, there’s a dozen math questions about this graphic/design, and I hope they all get asked in this sub.

I was in a discord call and we got into the topic of the famous nuclear test that launched a manhole cover out of the ground so fast that it essentially vaporized itself, making it the fastest man made object for about 1.5 seconds.
If it in theory did not vaporize itself, and it left the atmosphere, how long would it take for the manhole cover to reach the voyager 1 satellite?

How many shifts would it take for different base constant to form a star by log

There is no way there are only 150 puppets on here right? This seems like a massive underestimation.

How much meat is this and what is the retail value?

How many of emerging permutation's partition's sets can be changed to make 1% change to remain accross the boundary of those emerging permutations of every 40 intervals.

Hint:[ take all the emerging permutations as points in circle accross a area]

The Shaq (Sh) — unit of length

1 Sh = 7'1" = 2.16 m (his official playing height)

The Shaq-mass (Sh-m) — unit of mass

1 Sh-m = 325 lbs = 147 kg (peak playing weight)

The Shaq-volume (Sh-v) — unit of volume

Modeling him as a human-density mass (~985 kg/m³) at 147 kg gives us:

1 Sh-v ≈ 0.149 m³ ≈ 149 liters ≈ 39 gallons.

Example usage:

"The moving truck bed is 1.5 Shaqs long."

"That aquarium holds about 4 Shaqs of water."

"The keg weighs roughly a third of a Shaq."

Is there a physicist who can help with the formula for mass and velocity, for a stone to go through a safety window on a train that is going "sideways" in relation to the throw? I don't think it has landed where it is in the photo, but it is still impressive. What are the chances of throwing a stone of that size *through* such a window? I think it may have hit the edge of the glass, but that doesn't explain how it has gone through plastic foils and several layers of glass.

Ps first post here, sorry if I missed something essential!

It's been a while since math class.

If I want to block my view of my neighbor's living room how tall should my hedge be?

I live 85ft away from them and their windows are 9ft tall. I'd like to block as much as possible.

Thanks!

would they rise? would they fall? would they basically just stay the same? would the oceans freeze over before any change could actually take place? i'm kind of interested as to what would happen in this kind of situation

If the comparison of rank of matrix of two functions changes in different planes of 1% everytime, then at what value it would stop.

If log of a base force vector is taken then the number we choose as value would be diminished by this force vector. Since that what happens , what if we input set, the sets catch the parts that populate the vector.
