Wow yourself. Holy shit, man. It seems you’re really a big fan of the metric system.

He said “Ounce for ounce” not inch for inch. Yes, a piece of steel the same thickness of bone is stronger. But a piece of steel the same WEIGHT as bone is weaker. Particularly in bend strength.

A third of a meter is 33.333333~ centimeters.

I think this puzzle is easy for people who have learned you can convert geometric shapes to other - simpler - geometric shapes, and difficult for people who haven’t realised this.

I’m going to go for 20 cm.

I worked it out slightly differently, by mapping the surface of the cylinder four times next to each other (so 16cm total) and making the string a straight line from the bottom of the first corner to the top of the last (so the hypotenuse of a 12x16 triangle). If I were smarter I would have seen that it circles four…

Hint: Triangle.

I’m with you. The route travelled by the string is along the hypotenuse of four triangles of base 4cm, height 3cm. 4 x 5cm = 20cm.

20cm? That’d be the square root of 16squared+12squared.

Are you serious, Matt? There are huge numbers of people who won't let their kids get vaccinated. Measles outbreaks are happening everywhere at a time when it was almost wiped out because of this. Someone mentioned that vaccinations cause autism and everybody freaked out. The internet can have such a negative effect on…

I think there's an implied \s in that comment.

tin cans and a string sound better than beats headphones.

Most everything does, homey.

Every individual pair of Beats were handcrafted by Dre from the finest materials to produce flawless, immaculate sound quality.

No, Beats are literally the ejaculate of the gods. They are more than mere headphones. They may share the internals with $50 headphones but famous people use them so they must be good.

Maybe I am missing something here, but why wouldn't all of those emails be public records under Florida's sunshine laws? In other words, maybe it was crappy of Bush to make it so easy for anyone to see them, but with a FOIA-type request anyone could have done that anyway.

I think one blown match isn't going to kill anyone.

Nice, Jesus! I loved Crystal Quest. And shuffle puck Café and Tetris too on my original Mac!

hahaha well im glad ive found good company here! the worst is when your in the airport and youre trying to open something difficult and that thought "well if i had my damn knife......"
