Sure, someone might be able to lift a weight seven times but not eight. Still don’t see what that has got to do with lifting it once the previous week.

No formula exists in physics that involve weight and time

Technically this is mass we’re talking about, I’m using weight as a noun

But momentum = weight x time

I think a few are getting a bit too worked up by the question, the game is supposed to be fun. Who cares about the tinchiest tiniest details of it. Take a guess(educated if you can) and hope for the best. Thats part of the parcel to these games.

I just used what I thought could be correct and calculated to 2 decimal places. I have a feeling I could be wayyyy off but I'm not going to get worked up over it if I go out.

I actually like the discussion around it

There’s always someone who has a way off answer
Just don’t be that person

I got an A in Maths for the Leaving Cert. It was more than 15 years ago, it was Ordinary Level and all the questions were in Irish.

Exactly all of this, except I still only managed to get a C... Perhaps we even went to the same school, we could've even been in the same maths class...

Wait, did you know that I actually am Chris Evans or is it just a coincidence you used that gif while replying to me?

You would have to give a timeframe, like I could eat 47 apples in a month. Then we would have to consider them going bad, where do you store them?. How big are they?

Now apply all of that brain power to today's question and then pm me the answer.

Ha well I was gonna say Levar eating his 47th apple after his seventh bench press of the day! But I didn't wanna blow your cover.

I'm only now really starting to appreciate the absolute genius of EN's use of the median..... it didn't matter a ****e what the actual answer was

The median worked very well, I was pleased with that. The scaling didn't work quite so well mind. Next time*




*there will never be a next time

If a guy can bench press 1 christmas tree on christmas eve, how many can he bench press on christmas day?

Not sure, but I think I'd probably have noticed if Chris Evans was in my maths class.

Depends on how many apples he's had in the meantime, and whether they were in raw or cider form.

Momentum is also measured in Ns, weight x time or kg.m/s-2 x s

Like another poster earlier, I'm starting to pine for the good old days of simple stuff like Christmas tree sales and snowman heights

At least I understood the questions

I pine for the days when I was still included

I have entered. The best I can say about my answer is that it's a number.

Does interpretive dance count as an answer? Asking for a friend.

Can't be any more wrong than my answer probably is, so I'd say your friend should just go for it.
