Please can someone tell me how many trees should be planted in number or surface area to offset the pollution of a private jet used to cover the mileage of Gianni's travels during the WC 2026.

What's the speed of the blade(on the most inner side and outer side and/or just in rpm) and the wind and can it be calculated with the shown video?

My first thought was at the halfway point between the outer layer and the core, but the further out, the more length is in each layer. I would guess that it is closer to the outer layer but i have no idea how to even start creating some sort of formula.

So, some context.
Over the weekend, I attended a LARP (Live-action Roleplay). During the LARP, two friends of mine decided that their characters had a little tumble in the hay. Their characters had never met before. After the LARP finished, they rolled a dice to see if the woman became pregnant, and she did. I think they simply rolled a D6 and decided that a "6" meant she got pregnant.
However, it got me thinking on what the, so to speak, actual odds would be?
Assuming:
* both people involved are of average fertility, in good health and, pardon the expression, of child-rearing age
* It is a chance encounter, a one-night-stand, meaning the woman can be in any part of her cycle.
So, what are the odds of a random one-night-stand between two people with the requisite parts resulting in a pregnancy?

Let's say you made a wish for an endless supply of clean water for your village. The genie grants you one sink faucet that will never run out. How many people could you sustain in a temperate climate?

"Air travel is the nation’s safest form of transit. Injury and death rates in US air travel are measured by the rate of incidents per 100 million passenger miles, the total miles traveled by all air passengers." https://usafacts.org/articles/is-flying-safer-than-driving/
I am not everyone in the plane though. I want to know MY risk of dying. And while by distance is perfectly valid (since if I took a car instead I'd still have to travel the same distance), I'm curious if airplanes are still THAT much safer if we instead assessed the risk by time

A recent post here made me think about this. I guess a bonus point would be to calculate the unit area flux and power received at that speed/time/freq.

My friend is building a combo deck in magic the gathering, and specifically the commander format. For anyone unfamiliar, the commander format (generally) has a 99 card deck, with each card being (generally) unique, plus a commander which is kept separate from the deck.
At the beginning of the game, you draw 7 cards. If you do not like the cards you drew, you can put them all back and draw 7 new ones (once, before penalties start applying).
For his win, he needs 1 specific card, plus any 1 of 4 other cards that combo with it.
What are the odds that he gets what he needs in his opening hand?

I just saw this picture in a power scaling sub and instantly noticed Anakins right hand not fully closed on the lightsaber hilt. If I remember correctly the lightsaber would be a pretty big lever if Mace is pressing with his sword against Anakins.

We always hear about how republicans want to end social security. IF they did and IF the government had to pay us all back the taxes we paid for it(minus what people have already claimed), how much would the government owe total?

I drained and *lightly* sauteed a 15.5 ounce can of Trader Joe's garbanzo beans (they're still plump and soft). The nutrition facts say that a serving is ½ cup, and there are 3.5 servings per can. I used a Farberware plastic tablespoon to measure my half cup serving, which would be 8 tablespoons. And I thought that looked more like a whole cup, and over half of the total number of beans. So, I measured all of the beans with my tablespoon, and there were just under 14 tablespoons in total. There should be a total of 28 tablespoons, which is exactly double the amount I am measuring. Why is this math not mathing?

All 100 of our Scrabble tiles were mixed up and we then picked out tiles to choose who to go first. In order the tiles we randomly selected spelled the word LOVE.
1) What are the odds of that particular word being chosen?
2) What are the odds that the first 4 letters chosen from a bag of Scrabble letters will spell a 4 letter word?
