The discussion revolves around estimating the volume of a human body in cubic centimeters (cm³). Participants are exploring various methods and approximations for this estimation, including geometric shapes and density comparisons.
There is an ongoing exchange of ideas with some participants providing guidance on potential approaches while others emphasize the need for the original poster to demonstrate some effort before receiving assistance. Multiple interpretations of the problem are being explored.
Participants note the importance of adhering to forum rules regarding effort in problem-solving, which may influence the direction of the discussion.
Well, we have no idea how big you arePotential123 said:
but perhaps you could imagine trying to squeeze a full-size replica of yourself into as short as possible a length of round pipe. So for ease of transport, you could remove both arms and lay them along your legs. Perhaps remove both feet and pack them around your neck. How long and how round would you estimate the final cylindrical package to be?CAF123 said:
I am well aware of the forum rules, I just thought that since a method approximating the body as a volume of cylinder was introduced, I would give another way. On reflection, maybe yes, I should have waited - all I can do is apologise.phinds said:
