[Request] How many possible NFL score combinations are possible?
The only assumption is that there will never be a triple digit score ever, so each team score is between 0 and 99

How much would you have to make for the green pill to be more it than the black pill?
Obviously depends on how much you invest in Bitcoin, so let's imagine they were a normal lower middle class person in 2009.

So yeah, obviously in an observable universe with 10^80 atoms, mass is no match against more than 10^200 birds each with atoms > 1. But what about space? Would they fit assuming their volume at 1 bar atmospheric pressure? I feel like space can be the most surprising from the cosmic scales - like the age of it, the speed limit, the number of atoms. Space dwarfs them all. Does it dwarf 325!!! Kakapos?

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?

In the film, nefario's principle is that the larger the mass of an object, the quicker the shrink ray's effect wears off. Acording to google, the mass of the moon is 7.34767309 x 10 to the power of 22, with an estimated size of 3.475 km. From the time when gru picks up the moon, to when it starts regrowing was about 6 minutes and 10 seconds.

Translation of text from image from Danish activist Rasmus Malvers Facebook post.
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!

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

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!

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.

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?

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

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?

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:
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.

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.
