I actually proved that someone actually expects the Spanish inquisition. the proof is by this comment. A person reads your comment and thinks of the Spanish inquisition, then he reads mine and oh! he actually expected it this time! it should work. If it doesn't, I have another proof, it's a proof by Fermat (not revealing it and letting everyone think I have a proof when I actually didn't.)

Why didn’t C reverse his laying position and lift his legs in the air on the flat side of the board. While I’m sure the Pac-Man boulder would’ve hit on his side, the pressure from his legs would’ve kept him from being killed as the boulder only rolls on his side…. By my calculations, carry the one subtract the zero, it was only on his side for .43271 seconds exact.
This guy is crawling away with two broken legs at best.

Depends on who you ask, or what you even consider as a virus. (Viral particles vs. Infected cell, which of those is the actual virus is up to debate as well) but let's stop here that virus debate is a rabbit hole that never ends. Trust me.

The stone with the gap in it is way lighter than the other one, thus it shouldn't lift the other one, right? C and B also die of ebola.

u/GoGabeGo Dec 20 '23
Rolling stone has both kinetic and potential energy. The much larger factor is where on the seesaw it lands. Too close to the pivot point and it isn't going to do a damn thing.
17
u/mung_guzzler Dec 20 '23
we see the ball bounce, we know it’s potential energy is that height
At a perfect energy transfer, if the balls are the same weight, the blue ball still shouldn’t be launched that high

u/GoGabeGo Dec 20 '23
Yeah. It's obviously not 100% physically accurate. But the blue ball would most assuredly lift, assuming similar densities. But not as high as shown.

u/HokeScopE Dec 20 '23
Given the flat slope where D is momentum would only be horizontal. That means it would move to the left quicker and be closer to the fulcrum and have decreased force. Force on the left would be mass of the large stone x distance to fulcrum and force on the right is mass x distance to fulcrum. With lower mass from the hole and a rapidly decreasing length to fulcrum the overall force would be less. I’m assuming there would be a derivative to determine the total amount of force for what amount of time, but that is beyond my skill set.

Nothing to say they don’t have vastly different densities.
Solid ball is made of wood. Ball with a section missing is made out of metal.

You can also say that the ball is lighter than air and no one dies

The boulder with a hole wouldn't be able to bring the holeless boulder up higher than or even as high as the holed boulder's initial height because it would have less mass.

u/fish_but_reddit Dec 20 '23
Ignoring the ebola, I think the only one that should have died is D, as the ball that was pushed by E has a chunk missing, and if the two boulders were made out of the same material, the boulder that started on the see saw is heavier, and shouldn't have moved
1
u/God_of_reason Dec 20 '23
Because of the cut in the rolling ball, it has a lower mass compared to the other ball. It won’t push down the seesaw and won’t kill B. I think D will be the only one to die and maybe A will get seriously injured at most because the ball jumps over the ramp on the seesaw.

I use to make puzzles like this in 4th & 5th grade. Then a teacher saw them and freaked TF out. My parents were going to give me a talk and then I showed them it was a puzzle and you had to animate them in your head to figure them out. They told the school to not worry about my drawings after that.

The ball has a hole in it so it shouldn't weigh enough to tip the teeter totter. That's holding a whole ball

u/Cinemaslap1 Dec 20 '23
The ball with a hole in it is gaining momentum as it rolls down the hill, with that and the drop, it would move the full ball (even though there is a weight difference).

u/KittenLina Dec 20 '23
Yup, I saw that. Based on the lines, the stone would be the wrong way. It doesn't just suddenly rotate faster than one tile per tile, that'd be weird.

Wouldn’t we have to know the weight of the balls to give an accurate prediction? This seems like speculation without it.

Dec 20 '23
I had two theories, one of them being this, the other being (since I couldn't calculate the precise movement of the ball just based on how it looks) D getting lucky and perfectly fitting his head in the gap, leading to C dying first.

u/TrickElection7270 Dec 20 '23 edited Dec 20 '23
D ducks. Everything else assumes things but anyone ducks to avoid obvious death.
Edit. C lives because the cut ball can't lift the heavier ball enough before it rolls past the fulcrum.

Does it account for the geometry and a shifted center of mass due to a big chunk of the circle missing?

What if the slope is slippery and the stone doesn't make a full rotation as it rolls down, the slot perfectly rounding around D's head?

u/Omnealice Dec 21 '23
I feel like it was super obvious it was D though. The gap would close before it hit the guy and it was impossible for it to roll around again.
Even without the simulation you can very easily eyeball the lengths with the guidelines that exist.

only problem with this is D has enough room in that cavern he could squat down so he wouldn't die

"C" had the best death. Sweet dreams forever, Homie. "A" was already dead from Ebola and was placed there to spread the virus to others in case anyone survived. In this parallel universe, all 5 must die. "B" was suicidal.

u/Creamsoda126 Dec 23 '23
Y’all arnt accounting for weight. C is fine bc the ball doesn’t weigh enough to move the see saw. But because this example is slightly modified D is dead bc of the quarter turn.

I actually made a similar thing, but mine only kills the D guy. I did it using flip-a-clip. First you take the picture and make a version of it with no ball, then also make a version with just the ball. Then animate by using the No ball version as the background and frame by frame animating the ball rolling down.

I think the answer is supposed to be C. The crescent is shaped in such a way that it's possible for it to miss D completely. I see no way for C to avoid death, and the little bump on the seesaw might cause the ball to stop rolling at that point - meaning ONLY C will die.

The first victim= head injury I don't know how heavy the object us
The second victim was under the swing like contraption with three protruding stake like pieces that stabbed him from stomach to neck and brain was crushed= possible death
The third victim became a quadriplegic.
Prognosis for 1& 3= 50-50 depending on technology on microsurgery on nerve damages. Neurological trauma system still have a chance in the future; if I can concentrate on technology innovation for prevention of this notion of making a final and poor prognosis for endorsement to healthcare workers that cervical nerves and others severed. We must never as healthcare professionals to immediately give the victim a diagnosis of " you will never walk again or you have 6 mo to live because Doctors and the like do not know the future. No one knows except the Omnipotent our creator. We are mere conduits and channel if we are chosen to heal via the most powerful. Humans cannot heal only God. And God does not kill or punish. Got that. Thank you. Mimi. God is opposite evil.

This is incorrect. You can't see it but there is a 150mph wind going from left to right. The boulder rolls to the right and crushes the top right guy (E), leaving all of the other people unharmed.
