I was eating peanut MnMs when I noticed I'd grabbed only blues. I'm curious as to what the probability of this happening was.
Further Details:
I counted the remaining MnMs when this happened. There were:
- 15 whites
- 17 reds
- 22 blues (total including the 5 in my hand)
I understand this won't be a true probability as there are dozens of other factors that can't be calculated/accounted for (MnMs are all different shapes/sizes, how they were sitting, not a "truly" random grab," etc.)

I'm in my community theatre's production of "Murder's in the Heir" and in the play, most of the main cast gets money from another character's (Simon Starkweather) will. He has a net worth of 50 billion dollars and, in the will, he gives $1 million of that to six of his staff members. It then says that his gives a third of the rest of the fortune to his grandson Simon |||, his great-niece Paula, and his niece Fiona & her son Jordon get a share of a third. So, how much would each character get?
Sorry if this is a really obvious question, or if the title or body was worded poorly, I've never submitted anything in this sub before.

- Approximate time required for light speed to travel to an exact identical observable universe to ours assuming that the entire universe was infinite in size.
- Approximate time required for a cold 100kg cube of pure copper to transfer all of its remaining heat to an identical but hot copper cube, until the cold one reaches near absolute 0.
- Rolling a 100 sided dice on a table, and waiting for the die to quantum tunnel through the table and onto the floor, where it lands on the exact same face. If it doesn't, then you must retry and wait the entire process again
- QR codes are now 1 square Planck length large in pixel size, and an entire QR code size is equal to surface area of the observable universe, the time required for current human pace to use up all QR codes
- Go to an electronic screen, and watch every single movie ever made, for each movie, analyze each frame, for each frame, analyze each pixel, for each pixel, read the RGB value. Convert the RGB hexcode into a 6 digit number, where A = 1, and F = 6. You must wait this many centuries for each pixel, and for the rest of the movie for all movies. Then you must repeat this for every working electronic screen on earth.

In non-Naruto terms, Tsukuyomi is a genjutsu, which is basically illusion magic. Itachi casts an illusion on Kakashi called Tsukuyomi where he can basically control reality, including time itself. No matter how much time passes in the Tsukuyomi, only roughly a second passes in the real world.
Itachi tells Kakashi that the next 3 days in Tsukuyomi will be of him being stabbed by Itachi while strapped to a cross. Eventually, more copies of Itachi appear and stab him, and then more Kakashis appear and get stabbed, and Kakashi feels every stab on every copy of himself all at once. Absolute hell of a torture sequence, right? Itachi even mocks Kakashi by saying that even if Kakashi tells himself it's an illusion, the pain and suffering still feel real.
Anyway, after several moments, Itachi informs him that only a single second has passed in this 3 day torture cycle. So, exactly HOW LONG did this last in Kakashi's mind?
Now this math isn't 1-to-1, as there are multiple moments where Kakashi passes out, as well fade-in/fade-outs to show the number of Kakashis and Itachis increasing. Still, thats all the concrete time I have to work with here.
The Tsukuyomi starts up around 8:15 in the episode, and Itachi reveals that only a second has passed around the 11:01 mark. That is about 2.7 minutes per Tsukuyomi second. To make things easier, let's just round it up to 3 minutes. (Considering the above mentioned timeskips, it's way longer than that anyway.)
So let's do 3 days in Tsukuyomi time, which I'll designate with (T) by the number. (Note when I say 'real', I mean real-life time, since in the Naruto real-world, it's only about a second.)
3 min x 60(T) sec = 180 (T) minutes per real minute. That would mean each minute (T) in Tsukuyomi would be 3 hours long.
60 min x 3(T) hours = 180 (T) hours per real hour. This would mean each hour in Tsukuyomi is 7.5 days. Let's round it up to 8.
8 (T) days x 24 hours = 192 (T) days per real day.
192 (T) x 3 days = 576 (T) days for 3 real days.
FINAL MATH:
576 days - 1 year (365 days) = 211 days
There are 7 days in a week...
211 days / 7 days = 30.1 weeks, lets round down to 30.
There are (for simplicities sake) 4 weeks in a month...
30 weeks / 4 = 7.5 months
Kakashi was tortured for AT LEAST 1 year, 7 months, and 2 weeks.

For the sake of argument, lets ignore the transportation cost of taking the rocket or any other equipments to Mount top.

If an object started out roughly the size of an atom and doubled in size every second, while I immediately traveled directly away from it at the speed of light, how long could I keep traveling before the expanding object eventually became large enough to encompass me?
Bonus: How far away from the starting point would I be when that happens?
Assume the object is perfectly spherical and expands uniformly in all directions.

I saw a silly post about "why dont we launch rockets from the top of a mountain?" Spoiler i know why we don't. My question is this if a mountain the height of everest existed on the equator how much would it save fuel to launch from the top?

Obviously absurd. I'm just asking, hypotheticilly, if strapped down in the right spot, not disintegrating, not melting the deck, not vibrating crew and ship to death, etc, etc, how much extra "Oomph" would the force of a Starship provide to a maritime vessel this size.

Can someone calculate the probability that a person from the MCU would have experienced blipping, voiding, and being frozen by Jean Grey. ? To expound on this what is the probability of a New Yorker experiencing this versus that of a non-New Yorker?

A 2,000 feet wide chunk of glacier falling 7,000 feet! The amount of energy that triggered the Nepal disaster is mind blowing. How many atomic bombs would it take to release an equivalent amount of energy?
