OK, a cube of gold weighs 1 tonne. How big is it on its edges, in cms, rounded to nearest cm?

7/18/2007 8:49:39 PM

1 year = 31 556 926 seconds

7/18/2007 8:49:39 PM

was pretty damn easy if you kept it in meters

((160,000*1,000,000)/19.39)^(1/3)

7/18/2007 8:50:00 PM

light travels how fast?

7/18/2007 8:50:30 PM

1051200

took me 5 seconds...some of you guys are dumb

However...wouldn't flood control kick in?

dude, a cube just 1 metre (100 cm) on its edges would be 19.3 tonnes

THINK ABOUT THAT.

so a 260 cm one would be how H E A V Y????

tonne? that's 2000 kg right?

or long tonne being 2240 kg?

or is it the total displacement?

7/18/2007 9:02:17 PM

Which weighs more a pound of gold or a pound of feathers

7/18/2007 9:03:23 PM

THEY BOTH WEIGH THE SAME!11

POST OF THE DAY AWARD!!!

you are thinking pounds. short ton (2000 pounds), long ton (2240 pounds).

but i say TONNE, not ton.

7/18/2007 9:03:48 PM

you'd hit flood control 24 times a day.

7/18/2007 9:03:54 PM

look man i can't handle all this foreign unit shit. do it in american or i ain't gonna look at it

7/18/2007 9:04:38 PM

metric ton?

7/18/2007 9:04:44 PM

What do you mean? An African or European tonne?

7/18/2007 9:05:39 PM

yeah TONNE = metric ton = 1000 kg

but you messed up even the american unit shit:

Oh yeah, an African ton, maybe, but not a European ton. That's my point.

7/18/2007 9:06:36 PM

new question

if you were to post every 17 seconds for 1 leap year, how many posts would you acquire (disregard flood control)

which is bigger?

A fuck load
A shit load
An ass load

7/18/2007 9:08:59 PM

an ass load

7/18/2007 9:09:29 PM

1,814,123,691 posts <----- WRONG answer

A "FUCK [anything]" is always the most superlative.

^wasn't too tough, instead of multiplying by 2 in the same formula take 60/17 and multiply by that... then instead of multiplying by 365 multiply by 366

7/18/2007 9:16:48 PM

haha yea this thread has humor potential

7/18/2007 9:23:50 PM

Here is my answer to my question.

If you go by actual volume it goes ass > shit > fuck for the simple reason that an ass can hold a shit load thus must be larger and can also contain a fuck load

If you go by superlative as 0EPII1 suggested then I would argue for fuck > shit > ass.

7/18/2007 9:25:51 PM

i took 50 mg diphenhydramine 3 hours ago and it just hit a few minutes ago.

i am hallucinating

goin to bed... good night!

yep, this is sorta my logic to that answer too. I figured an ass holds shit, so an ass load must be bigger. Don't know how big a "fuck" is.

7/18/2007 9:29:30 PM

^ what the vagina can hold (volume of vajayjay)

7/18/2007 9:30:30 PM

oh, okay. that makes sense.

7/18/2007 9:31:06 PM

I would think a fuck load would be what is released in a fuck. Thus one cum shot, which clearly fits in a standard anus

7/18/2007 9:31:07 PM

wait so why 366 days? when there is one less day in leap year on a tuesday?

7/18/2007 9:32:18 PM

there are approximately 365.25 days in a year.

7/18/2007 9:33:58 PM

so ass > shit > fuck

I win!

7/18/2007 9:35:10 PM

so that extra .01 days falls on the leap year, got it.

7/19/2007 1:45:10 PM

Good

imagine that... a cube just 1' 2.5" on an edge would weigh a ton!!!

7/19/2007 2:16:59 PM

how many cubic (acre^1/2) of water are in a metric ton of seawater?

7/19/2007 2:22:41 PM

^^35 cubic feet, or approximately 0.9911 cubic meter

[Edited on July 19, 2007 at 5:26 PM. Reason : .]

7/19/2007 5:24:47 PM

the units of the solution should be sqrt(acre)

[Edited on July 19, 2007 at 5:31 PM. Reason : cubed, that is]

7/19/2007 5:29:58 PM

^^ you said 260 cm

a cube of gold 2.6 metres (8 ft 6 in) on an edge would weigh 339 tons.

and anyway, a cube of WATER 1 meter on an edge would be 1 ton!!! So gold has to be smaller!!!

A lot of people find that unbelievable too (about the water cube).
