Quantum Physics question...help please

Sign in to disble this ad
Yesterday was payday and instead of buying my usual beverage I decided to treat my self to a mini-keg of heinekin I wanted to get the newcastle brownale but they were out. I paid 20 bucks for it and once tapped it lasts 30 days before going flat, it holds 1.23 gallons. how many cans of beer is this, and how many glasses of beer is this if I were to go to a bar and get one on tap. How much does it cost per can and also per glass? how much is a bottle of heinie at a bar and am I saving money by going the mini-keg route?

about 12 and a half cans of beer, not sure about glasses on tap, dont know how much is in one.

So that would be $1.60 per can.

The cat is neither dead nor alive until someone opens the box and observes it.

Dunno if you'd be saving any money, but it is impossible to know the speed at which beer is being consumed and the location of the nearest bathroom at the same time.

1.23 gallons X 128 fl.oz./gallon = 157.44 fluid ounces

Can = 12 fluid ounces
Mini-keg = 13.12 cans of beer, costing $1.52 each

Glass (I'm assuming a Pint glass) = 16 fluid ounces
Mini-keg = 9.84 pints, costing $2.03 each

I don't know how much a bottle of heineken at a bar is, I drink real beer.

On average, I pay about $5 a pint for Guinness at a bar

It's always cheaper to buy alcohol at a supermarket than at a bar.

If you'd just go check that little keg's infinite parallel universes... you'd probably still have a heckuva lot of beer. Unless, of course, those infinite little kegs went "pffffffft" signaling their emptiness and all your infinite parallel selves weren't there to hear it... then you're just stuck in an endless black hole of SOL.

Good luck...

But what if Schodinger's cat is in the keg? Or, at least, if we think the cat is in keg. If it is in there, is it drunk? Do we drink the beer not knowing where the cat is?

speaking from experience, the smaller space you try to confine a cat, the larger its momentum.

Well the cat is in a state of either extreme drunkeness having consumed a keg of beer, or dead from drowning.

but its both until you cut open the keg.. or neither.

Well, duh.

The cat and its various body functions gives the taste to Heineken.

That's Heinekin not Heisenberg....if you measure the glass then you don't know what's in the keg or something like that...

We should make him walk the Planck

The only winning move is not to play.

If you drink only one beer, would you use ein stein?
