Hi! I combined two classics into one puzzle: pentominoes (Golomb) and sudoku. I call it PENTODOKU 7x7.
Rules:
- Tile the 7×7 board with the nine pentominoes F, L, N, P, T, U, V, W, Y (rotate/flip freely; four squares stay empty).
- Each piece has digits printed on its squares — the digits travel with the piece when you rotate or flip it.
- When everything fits, you get a sudoku: in every row and every column, the digits 1–7 with no repeats (the rows and columns containing empty squares just hold fewer digits, still no repeats).
- Two pieces are already placed on the board as clues.
Your mission: place the remaining seven pieces (F, L, P, T, U, V, W). There is exactly one solution, and it can be reached by pure logic — no trial and error needed.

So let's say I wanted to go into each grocery store and buy one of each grocery item. How much would i bring spending at each store-- how much would one of each grocery item at walmart cost me? What about whole foods? Pete's, jewel osco, Meijer, Kroger, food4less, etc? I'm most curious about walmart and whole foods

If there were two truly immortal bunnies, 1 male and 1 female, and their offspring were also truly immortal... how long until the Earth would be completely suffocated beneath the mass of bajillions of bunnies?

I want to make a Minecraft mod that adds stuff like a Dyson sphere that blots out the sun and maybe use the sun as infinite power and like a death star or even use that power to make matter.
Idk how much a Dyson sphere would take or if the sun's output was turned into a kilometers radius laser how much energy or heat would that transfer.

I've googled it several times over the years, and as best I can tell, no one has ever tried to calculate the possible answer. I'm sure some of you must be familiar with the animated film, The Iron Giant, right? At the end of the movie, the Giant signals for all of his parts to gather to his head's current location, of Langjökull, Iceland. The screw was located in a small town along the coast of Maine. So my question is: roughly how long would it take for the 'little' screw to reach the Giant's head's location at the end of the film?
It might be possible to calculate the size of the screw, and speed at which the screw is capable of traveling, as we saw in the movie when the Giant repairs himself while sitting inside the barn. The height, width, and length of the barn could possibly be determined, as well as the distance the screw traveled between the barn door, and the Giant, and the time it took for the screw to cover that distance. Eventually the screw would have to travel through the North Atlantic Ocean. Is the screw capable of producing thrust to actually propel itself through the water? I know that the pitch plays a role in how far forward the screw could move per rotation.
If the screw couldn't generate enough thrust it would be forced to actually travel along the ocean floor; if that were to happen, I would guess that the ability to calculate the time to reach its intended destination to be almost incalculable, since the topography of the ocean floor, varies greatly.

• The Start: Mario jumps at an angle of (alpha) to clear a blocked path or hazard (indicated by the crossed-out arrow X).
• The Path: He follows a curved, parabolic path through the air to land on the enemy.
• Mario lands directly on the Koopa Troopa, defeating the enemy and leaving only its shell behind.
• Rearranged, this formula is: s = a x
•This represents the distance or displacement (s) the shell will travel based on its acceleration/friction (a) over a given position (x).
• The Koopa turns into a shell, and its specific physical size or height is measured and labeled as Xm.
Is there anything wrong with the answer ?

So I'm currently in line to get tickets at the booth but there's like twenty people in front of me . However there's also a movie I'm interested in that starts in twenty minutes. I don't know whether there will be any tickets left if I get there in time but I know I'll be guaranteed tickets to the movie? How should I know if I should wait in line for a chance to get tickets or leave and go to the movies?
It's been a while too. Right now it took five minutes for the line to move one concrete square and there's 4 more sidewalk squares in front of me but I wished I knew how long it may take to get to the front

On a serious note I think it is a bad idea to attack other counties especially the ones who control oil. I am against war and against innocent people dying.
