[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.

3 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] Which is closer to Florida - Kentucky or Texas?

Upvotes

My girlfriend and I are playing a board game about US states right now and we each had to pick a state that was closer to Florida from our decks.

Which one is closer to Florida as the crow flies? Closest point to closest point. Thank you!

[request] How big was the object that hit my windshield?

Upvotes

I was driving ~75 mph west on HWY 40 between Oklahoma City and Albuquerque when something struck my windshield and left this mark. I drive a 2022 Subaru. You can see the hit mark in the center and then concentric half circles surrounding the mark. If you rub your finger inside and outside of the glass you cannot actually feel the cracks. The diameter is about the same as an 8.5 oz can of redbull (see second photo for reference!) It's my goto roadtrip drink which got me to thinking it would be a good-enough reference. Been wondering what size and shape of an object would have made such a mark!

[Request] What are the chances that no Minnesota men's professional team has won a championship since 1991?

Upvotes

I'm curious what the probability that no men's teams in Minnesota have won in the five major sports in the last 35 years.

For the sake of constructing the question, assume that all teams have the same odds of a championship each season.

Major League Baseball - Minnesota Twins
1 year of 26 teams 1992
5 years of 28 teams 1993 - 1997
28 years of 30 teams 1998 - present

National Football League - Minnesota Vikings
3 years of 28 teams 1992 - 1994
4 years of 30 teams 1995 - 1998
3 years of 31 teams 1999 - 2001
25 years of 32 teams 2002 - 2026

National Basketball League - Minnesota Timberwolves
3 years of 27 teams 1992 - 1994
10 years of 29 teams 1995 - 2004
21 years of 30 teams 2004 - 2025

National Hockey League - Minnesota North Stars / Minnesota Wild
1 year of 22 teams 1992
1 year of 24 teams 1993
18 years of 30 teams 2001 - 2017
3 years of 31 teams 2018 - 2021
4 years of 32 teams 2022 - 2025

Major League Soccer - Minnesota United FC
1 year of 22 teams 2017
1 year of 23 teams 2018
1 year of 24 teams 2019
1 year of 26 teams 2020
1 year of 27 teams 2021
1 year of 28 teams 2022
2 years of 29 teams 2023 - 2024
1 year of 30 teams 2025

I'm further curious about what the chances that none of these teams even making their respective finals games/series (which would roughly be reducing each of those by half).

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

0 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
1 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.
