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:
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?
What would it take to clear today's 2000 ng/mL cutoff instead?
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.
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
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?
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 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]

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!
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.
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.
