I wonder if any of you folks could guess as to the cubic capacity of my arse?

FYO (LOL) I am not in prison and am not a drug mule.

Nor am I gay.

There is a logical answer to this...

I wonder who - if anybody - can work it out...

...I think any black hole is infinite......

especially yours........but if you insist, I'll take a look and do some calculations.

What's the square root of a Gerbil,squared? Just askin.

I only know how to figure out the cubic measure of something CUBE shaped.

External? Internal?

External we caan fill up the bath submerge the said part of the anatomy (having first defined its limits) measure how much water comes out of the bath and there we have it

Internal- I hate to think (even logically)perhaps shove a balloon inside but we wouldn't get takers for that one - even you.

We could send a micro space craft up there with shrunken down astro-turfers flying it all with measuring equipment to do a bit of a survey.............

Zero cubic cms....I reckon he's had it 'stitched closed'.

Skoob said to say that the answer is eight coils.

He said you'd know what he meant.

Something to do with laying cables.

Apparently...

Seriously, WTF is with the acronym breakouts? FFS it's FMO. You know what? KMN. Just FKMN.

(also, on topic - all we need to do is to get a degree in extreme calculus. Or, we could put Skoob in a bath full to the brim, and then measure the volume of water that flows over. That will give us a rough idea of the cubic capacity of his bottom. It was in the Economist. There, I'm right.)

No IH. That'd only give you the capacity of his whole body..if you submerged him. It'd be difficult to just stick in his 'bum'.

Anyway coz holes are empty spaces I figure his a-h is zero cubic wotzits, coz how can you measure what isn't there at all..??

See - you don't NEED a University degree to figure that out...I did it on 7 '0' level GCE's and a Degree Equivalency certificate.

Well, in a maths paper we were supposed to measure the hole that was in the middle of a square.

"Mark has a square block that is 25 sq. cm. He needs to put a stick through the hole in the square. The hole is 1cm from the edges of the square.

How big is the hole?" (3 marks)

So there. We can measure empty space.

9 sq. cm.

No. 0 marks there. You would've gotten 1 mk if you did some working out.

All I know is that kids were coming to me complaining - during winter and all that snow and stuff - that other kids had 'stolen their holes'...so I made a 'hole' shape with my arms and said, 'Here you you. You can have THIS one'."

They went away shaking their heads.

I thought I had solved their problem. Some kids are just never satisfied.

When is Skoob coming back to give us the answer by the way??

What shape is the hole?
Is the hole central to the square?
Is the stick natural or man-made.
What shape is the stick?
Is there any tolerance allowed?
What time of year is it? (only applies if the stick is natural).............

Why does he want to put a stick through a block?

I do hope someone works this out. I can't wait to get the knowledge. It might come in handy if ever I need to shove a stick through a block.

The answer to Hopeless's question is 9 sq. cm.

Working out?

What's to work out?

It's square.

It's 25 sq. cm.

5cm x 5cm

Couldn't be anything else.

The hole is 1cm from the edge.

That means a total of 16 sq. cm. around the edges.

Meaning that the hole is 9 sq cm.

That's rudimentary mental arithmetic.

And I get no marks?

Come round to my gaff kid - we need to talk.

IH the hole is 1cm diameter 0.5cm radius, ergo size is pi/4

now shut up

7.07 sq cm

If it was 1cm from the edge - then takes away 2cm from the total which makes it 3cm diameter.

(pi)r^2 = (pi)x1.5^2
= 7.06858 sq cm

You are of course correct why did I think it was 4cms from the edge? Goes to show- should always read the question twice
