Calculating The Approximate Density of the Cake from S2E24

Probably because it would have made it harder to get it on board the train. They still have to get it on him to have him walk it into there. No matter how short the cart is, it would make it too tall. Unlike a cart, Big Mac could collapse slightly to shorten his stature.

They still had to knock down a wall of the train to get the cake in. Not sure I follow how using a cart to comfortably take the cake to the train station would have been a bad idea. Having it on Big Mac's back the whole way with ropes and force field to keep it stable seemed very awkward.

Eh, I'm more impressed that I remembered all the formulas for everything. I haven't taken any math or physics for over 2 years :/

The Cakes' approximate weight would be about 1200 pounds, meaning... 300 pound lift. The cake is probably 250.

 

Also, the cart just adds more problems. You still would have to get it OFF the cart. Safe transfer is easier when it's on Big Mac, who could lower himself closer to the ground.

I... I don't think I'm going to post here anymore.

 

Although, in my defense, I did say multiple times that my numbers were likely very wrong.

Touché, and well-played. B)

 

Why, thank you. XD

Oh my Celestia, that is a lot of calculating...... And I think the cake must be made out of dark matter. Nothing else could possibly be that dense.

 

Neutron star matter is denser, I think. The density of dark matter isn't known, since no one can actually find it or study it.

Sorry for reviving an old topic, but we need more of this "fiction science" thing (giving scientific explanations to apparent nonsense in cartoons and games etc).

 

I have a magasine about old TV shows at home, and in one of the articles, they calculate the size of the soccer field in Olive&Tom. I just looked it up and found out it's called Captain Tsubasa in English; it's an anime series where soccer matches become as dramatic and suspenseful as... soccer fanatics think it is IRL.

Anyway, according to the article's calculations, it turns out the field was nearly 1.75 kilometers long. XD
