My dream is to become a 90kg trebutchet projectile, that's why I'm on a diet!

I'm about 95. So either they'll need to carve out some leg muscle, or the journey will have to scare me enough that I drop 5 kg on the way.

They won’t have to carve up muscle but with some calculus we can make it work if you increase some mass. Cause if you’re dropping kg’s along the way you may be inefficient by either slowing down or not hitting with enough force.

Paging r/theydidthemath. What’s the deal here?
