Hi CC

Having stired my brain from its usual slumber, I vaguely remember from a science lesson at school something about an object keeping the same mass when it changed charataristics.

What i think this means is that 1KG (ie 1000g) of ice when melted will make 1 litle (1000ml) of water.

If this is correct (and i am not just talking bollocks) you would need 5.525 chocolate bars to make 1 litre of liquid choclate if you multiply this by 1048 (the number of litres your pool holds) you will need 5790 chocolate bars to fill it.

And if that's right I should be on Countdown!!! (preverably filling Carol Vorderman's knickers with custard)

Do me a favour paulthepieman, if you go working with Carol Vorderman, make sure flan her in the boobs from me.......

Very interesting thread this.

It's brought out all the egg-heads who lurk here.

May I throw a question their way?

All this water and custard will weigh an aweful lot - so I hope the floor-boards are strong and the 'event' takes place down-stairs!

Anyway - how much will the pool weigh when 'full'
I know it won't be full to the brim - but lets say half way-ish.

Ta very muchly.

Paul, I hate to pull rank here but my girlfriend has actually appeared on 'Countdown'! It was in the early days of the programme and she didn't win her contest but at least she was there.

Super pix and Im LOVING ur "pond" but tell me...... how/where do u empty it out etc?

Miss Sam

Emptying with buckets down the loo and rinse with hosepipe is the idea - will be a major operation taking forever! I still maintain worth it though

So far though its only endured about 6 - 8 litres of slop and I just lugged it goo and all up to the bathroom and in the shower with me. Was interesting!

in answer to the floor boards question - yes v sturdy no problem! no idea of actual weight but its wide enough to 'spread the load' ooer

More chance to be geeky in this thread, and I need to stay awake until the missus gets home...

Firstly, 1000g (1kg) of ice will melt into 1000ml (1l) of water (incidentally, still weighing the exact same amount) because water has a density of 1. The density of a substance equals mass over volume. No doubt chocolate has a greater density than water and will therefore need yet more chocolate bars.

Second, working out the weight of the pool when half full with anything requires you to know the density, then it will simply be volume (say 500l) times density and then you have the weight in kilograms. I don't know the density of custard or chocolate off-hand but it could be worked out by someone with either a) a known weight of something and a way to measure volume or b) a known volume and way to measure weight.

Good to know everyones tax goes to giving uni students a good education eh?

She did it herself on a very rigged gameshow

Nice find T34. There is a gunging on there as well which is very good. She seems quite game.

.....means Candy gets messy quicker and means my hands will not have RSI.

my right hand ALWAYS gets RSI when I see pics of you Candy - clean or messy - you're gorgeous and unbelievably sexy xxx

[MrBump]

Wonder how many cans of shaving foam, would take to fill it, and as for mixing custard , can we not just buy the ready made stuff, means Candy gets messy quicker and means my hands will not have RSI. Then again after the pics who knows


NX

Calling all mathematical wam einsteins!!!

these answers on a postcard please:

Exactly how many litres of custard would fit in an 8ftx8ft circle 2.5ft deep?

How much does shaving foam expand and therefore how many cans would be required to fill the pool?

How many x181g bars of dairy milk bubbly chocolate to fill it?

if anyone can come up with those answers I will 1) faint and 2) post another pic

Well, it's one of my first posts on the forum, so here goes!

The pool is 243.84cm in diameter and depth 76.2cm so:

radius = 243.84 / 2 = 121.92cm
radius squared = 121.02 x 2 = 1486.49
x pi = 46698.16
x depth = 3558399.89 cu. cm

= 3588.39 liters of custard required to fill the pool

Assuming a 200ml can of shaving foam and the foam expanding by 850%, that is 200 x 8.5 = 1700ml = 1.7 litre
3588.39 pool capacity / 1.7 = 2110.81

So 2110.81 cans of shaving foam are needed to fill the pool!

So for the chocolate:

Assuming the Dairy Milk Bubbly chocolate has a density of 0.6kg per litre
3588.39 x 0.6 = 2153.03 kg of chocolate to fill the pool
so 2153.03 / 0.181 = 11895.19 bars of 181g chocolate

This would of course assume that the air bubbles remain in the chocolate once it has melted and that the chocolate retains the same density once heated

Hope that helps Candy, really enjoyed the session with you a few months back

Now where have I heard that before???
