math by CoryWelch who thinks this is a GoodIdea GoodIdea originated from LieselHilkemeyer Additional logistics planning by KaviDey the oobleck should be bright green or teal. we have yet to decide. <-- don't want it to stain people or be harder to dispose of so maybe no color... # Math Planning 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 :'( ### Acquiring the Cornstarch ### Disposal where will the oobleck go: here ---> https://www.lacsd.org/services/solid-waste/facilities/puente-hills-materials-recovery-facility-mrf Cory emailed them and they said they would take it and we don't need to dry it out and they will charge us 72 dollars. The price per ton is $126.22. They suggested that we bring it in large garbage bags instead of plastic contains (need to check the strength, maybe double bag?). We are required to wear safety vests which we can purchase there for $4 or bring or own. We can push it straight off the back of a truck into the disposal area (This will be much easier with a rented UHaul than from Liesel's car). will a squirrel go in the oobleck: no.
