Three reasons why the JT’s Shaft Trivia person can go piss up a rope:
- Insulin is produced by the pancreas. The liver has nothing to do with it. You don’t need a degree in endocrinology, just ask any diabetic.
- If you want to know how to divide up a Rubik’s Cube, be specific about what you mean. If you want to know how many cubes are ‘on’ a cube, count the faces and you’ll see there are 26. If you want to know how many cubes are ‘in’ a cube, add the center cube and you’ll get 27. Don’t confuse ‘on’ and ‘in’.
- According to the Mars Society you can get from the Earth to Mars in six months. You’d burn all your fuel doing it, so it’d be a one-way trip. That’s fine for a robot probe, but if you’re asking about a manned mission, you’ll either need to do a slow burn transit (which uses less fuel), or have fuel waiting when you arrive. A slow burn transit would take twelve months. If you send a robot factory ahead so that there’s a refill waiting for you, the mission time expands to two years.
