oops, i was so slow half the world already solved it. reminds me of the sat.

Au contraire. You have several problems.

First off, you have 34cm for the radius of the 808, and 35 for the H3. That is going to be a big swing right there.

Plus you assume the blades all go the full width all the way to the center of the hub. But in that case, you would end up counting the area at the junction multiple times (think ven [sp?] diagram).

I have already clearly dominated this problem! :P


What is wrong with us. :)

well, the 34 was just a typo--the calculation uses 35. But that defense aside, I concede over-counting the center, and your utter domination in terms of both speed AND technical proficiency. Don't worry, I'm a mid-to-back of packer, quite used to that concession!

Next step, calculate how long this thread can remain on the first page...
