REMEMBER: ALWAYS PUT ON THE MOTIVATIONAL PLAYLIST BEFORE WORKING

BB Gun - "In Armageddon, a NASA guy comments that a plan to shoot a laser at the asteroid is like “shooting a b.b. gun at a freight train.” What would it take to stop an out-of-control freight train using only b.b. guns?"

This would normally be impossible. However, with enough people shooting the train, it can happen. This would require about 100,000 people shooting, distributed over 2 kilometers of track, each firing a few dozen rounds once the train comes close enough. This would, eventually, be enough to bring the train to a stop.

Short answer section 2-1 - "If my printer could literally print out money, would it have that big an effect on the world?" -

Using the printer, you could make about 200 million dollars per year, depending on the type of printer. This would actually be the perfect sweet spot for you, as it would be enough to make you very, very rich, but not enough to have any effect on the world. The United States prints approximately $500 billion per day, so $200 million a year would be a drop in the bucket.

Short answer section 2-2 - "I bike to class sometimes. It's annoying biking in the wintertime, because it's so cold. How fast would I have to bike for my skin to warm up the way a spacecraft heats up during reentry?" -

You'd have to bike at 200 m/s, but you'd fry alive from overexerting your body.

Short answer section 2-3 - "What if you strapped C4 to a boomerang? Could this be an effective weapon, or would it be as stupid as it sounds?" -

Aerodynamics aside, you'd have a bomb that comes back if you miss.

Bouncy Balls -

Around 3,000,000 balls. Death would occur and you would be charged with manslaughter or murder.
