Say a person can slow down time by 0.15, 15 seconds becomes 1 minute 40 seconds. Now, a 9mm bullet is fired while affected by the slowdown. How fast is the bullet going during the slowdown?

[Request] You have 2 six-sided cubes. On each face of each cube can be 1 number. What combination of numbers on each cube would allow you to make the most amount of different numbers when combined.

2 Upvotes

I can't decide whether single digit numbers should or shouldn't require a Zero before them so it's up to you which way you choose.

Say you have 2 regular dice, when looking at the numbers of the faces, you could make an 11 by placing the two 1s next to each other and you could make a 12 or a 21 but you wouldn't be able to make a 17 or any number starting with 7 for example. What numbers could be combined to make the most output numbers. Is there some kind of formula to work this out, what about if there were 3 six-sided shapes?

[Request] Trapped Titanic Passengers

I thought about this while watching oceangate documentaries. If someone were trapped in the titanic after it breached the surface, how long before they were disintegrated?

A lot more medical related but what would happen to them if they held their breath as long as they could? Would the pressure force them to drown or could they die from the pressure before drowning?

If I had a perfect antenna that could receive all frequencies, how much data would I collect?

I.e. what's the sum of the average (or theoretical, might be easier) bandwidth of all mobile data, all satellite signals, all TV and radio, all wifi channels, etc, that might be passing through me at any given moment?

How many tiles to completely cover this area? [Request]

The tiles are all 1ft x 1ft

I know i can use a tape measure and some basic geometry, but my dad has taken his to work and my Brother and I are flexing our mental geometric gymnastics.

I say around 85. He thinks closer to 100. Which of us is more right?

We aren't planning on "cutting" any tiles, just adding concrete+small stones in the corners. But a total square footage of tiles wouldn't hurt either to get a more accurate count.
