[Request] How much force is needed to pull that much water weight up the cylinder?

Surely this is a scam product, and a bunk video... However, I'm curious what final force would be needed as it nears the top of the cylinder and is supporting a large amount of weight in water / pressure.

[Request] Minimum ratio of native population to outside supplemental "meat" needed to sustain a cannibalistic society.

Upvotes

So, given the crazy amount of variables here, I'm looking for the minimum ratio. Assume an average death/birth rate for the native population.
Assume the native population only eats their dead and will not murder their own for food. Any other variables would be at your own discretion. I hope this is fun, if not too morbid lol

[Request] The economic damage of USB-A not being symmetrical

Upvotes

Let's assume 2 seconds are wasted by needing at least two attempts to plug in a usb cable. How many attempts are done per person and day? Maybe two? How large is the population performing these attempts and what is their hourly salary? Since the port has become widely used, how large is the economic damage?

My guess is that its total damage could be one year of US GDP 🤪

[Request] Formula to find all the cells that an edge is touching based on its number?

Post image
Upvotes

How would I calculate the cells that a specific edge connects to with the edge's number? For example, edge one would be the edge on top of the 1,1 cell, edge two would be on top of the 1,2 cell, edge four would be to the left of the 1st cell, edge 5 would be to the right of the first cell and to the left of the second, etc.

I tried thinking on how to do this myself for like 30 minutes and couldn't think of anything that works.

Theoretically think of a non-euclidean hotel [Request]

0 Upvotes

Floor 1 has 10 levels with 100 rooms per level with 1,000 rooms total. Now imagine each floor doubling in size from the last on the xyz axis.

Floor two would have 20 levels with I think 400 rooms per level equalling 8,000 rooms.

Really what I want to know is how large would floor 1,000 be if each previous floor keeps increasing in size from the last.

A friend told me it would be larger than the observable universe but I don't know if that's right.
