Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The Red
If Mira weighs 900 million tons compared to Anthony, then she weighs 1,800,000,000,000 pounds compared to him. For simplicity's sake, let's assume Mira has an average weight of 168.5 pounds. This would make Mira (1,800,000,000,000 / 168.5 = 10,682,492,581.6) times her normal weight when compared to Anthony. This would make her (cuberoot[10,682,492,581.6] = 2202.37296171) times her height when compared to Anthony. This means Anthony is (1 / 2202.37296171 = 0.0004540557) times his regular height. Assuming Anthony has an average height of 69.2 inches, when shrunk he stands at (0.0004540557 * 69.2 = 0.03142065444) inches, about 0.798 millimeters. That's around the height of 15 stacked papers. Bullshit he's "almost the size of a Fruity Loop" (it's Froot Loops btw, not Fruity Loops). Brought to you by a pedantic math geek who felt like doing a bunch of calculations using a throwaway number that was obviously hyperbole and not meant to be taken literally.
Author's Response:
LOL! Alright, couple of things here:
1. I love this response lol, I also shared it with my girlfriend and we both enjoyed it immensely.
2. Fruity Loops don't break copyright license! But, my girlfriend also laughed at my use of non-trademarked names. So you're not alone.
3. Easily my worst subject in school has always been math, and I just want you to know, I honestly tried to work out what her weight would have been, but my limited understanding of mathematics prevented me from coming up with a more accurate assessment. I am both elated and impressed you were able to come up with even a semblance of an answer. I found, though some of the results I did not understand, your reply very interesting.
4. Did....Did you like the story? XD
5. If you had only waited one more chapter you would have gotten ahold of more accurate variables, I break down that Anthony is at regular height 6'4 and Mira is 5'6/7.
6. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, I sincerely hoped you liked my story and continue to have fun reading it. I also hope you had a great time crunching the numbers!
You're hired!
