Maths question.

@PeteXXX you either need to ride your bike more or drink more - or better still do both more

I've done both today

What would the answer be if you chucked the groom-to-be in a bed of nettles?

The wrath of No1 daughter, who has been trained in 'wrath' by MrsPete!!

I hate to be picky about grammar but shouldn't that be fewer eggs?

Just find a very large bed of nettles and chuck them in as well

A rough eggismation would be 35.3 eggs . No yolk that still a lot of eggs you will have to shell out for

What would the equation be if the cylinder was 12" diameter x 5" high/long?

(Yep, I know, less eggs )

Vol of your cylinder is pi r squared times length of cylinder. So pi x 6 x 6 x 5 = 565 cubic inches. That's huge. For reference in Two Lane Blacktop (see the films you watch again and again thread) the car they had was a "454", ie around 7.5 litres. Other popular culture references to cubic inches include Bruce Springsteen's Racing in the Streets, where he has a 69 chevy with a 396. Can you tell it's Saturday night?

Hang on! I've been a bit of a plonker!!
The mix only has to fill the 15" x 6" cylinder ⅔ of the way up, prior to baking, so the calculation needs to be based on 15" x 4"

Well, at least it's saved some eggs.
<DOH>

Cracking guess at 44 eggs
But my brain is scrambled now

 

[PeteXXX]

Still a lot of eggs, but what I need to work out is the ratio twixt cuboid and cylinder. From that, I can multiply the other ingredients exponentially.
