math by CoryWelch who thinks this is a GoodIdea

GoodIdea originated from LieselHilkemeyer

the oobleck should be bright green or teal. we have yet to decide.

42632 cubic inches (73x73x8?)

698613 cubic cm

which will fit in 7 30-gallon trash bags or 15 13-gallon ones

2:1 cornstarch:water ratio

cornstarch density 0.54 g/cm³

water density 0.9970470 g/cm³

oobleck density = 0.692349 g/cm³

grams of oobleck 483684

1066 pounds oobleck

probably about 6 ElioThadhani s and 10 trash bags of 10/13 of melted CoryWelch

251 kg cornstarch (we could probably get away with buying less and having it be less dense)

probably a lot of green dye

and water

car: liesel which is an acura mdx and has a max load of 1300 pounds so we should take two trips to be safe (or we rent a uhaul?)

maximum time to dispose: 4 hours

can frosh carry elio to liesel's car with rope: yes

can the concept of a cart occupy our minds: no :'(

where will the oobleck go: here ---> https://www.lacsd.org/services/solid-waste/facilities/puente-hills-materials-recovery-facility-mrf

will a squirrel go in the oobleck: no.
