[Other] Redistricting in the US. Who "wins" in the end?

Sorry if not allowed, just curious. Assuming hypothetically, red states like Texas that can gerrymander do and blue states like California that can, do the same. Which party would come out on "top" in the end?

Request My apprentice is wondering how many lions would it take to defeat the sun? (Fully extinguished)



Request My apprentice (8 years old, future Nobel Prize contender, and the prized fruit of my own loins) is currently working on his magnum opus: determining the exact number of prime-aged male lions required to fully extinguish the Sun.

We are assuming this.

Only lions in peak physical condition (ages 3 to 6) are drafted into the Lion Military, as per obvious interstellar combat readiness standards.

Instant teleportation to the Sun’s surface (to avoid the whole “space is a vacuum and lions can’t breathe” complication).

The lions are tasked with fully extinguishing the Sun, not just “making itbdimmer” or “hurting its feelings.”

Lions can survive for the purposes of the calculation until contact is made.


He’s trying to figure out the actual number it would take, factoring in the Sun’s mass, energy output, and whatever lionbbased physics applies here.

Mathy wizards of Reddit! How many individual lions are we talking about here?

Request What are the odds?

Hello, lately I've been part of a game on a gambling site where you have to guess the exact outcome of 6 soccer games. I've been curious what the odds are, I'm aware that there a multiple factors which play a role but is there a chance that you can calculate the odds of guessing the exact outcome of 6 soccer games?

Request Check my work please: distance traveled in 50 years by a "stationary" person

I'm turning 50 soon and making up some paper invitations to give to some folks who aren't online much/at all, and I needed something to go on the back of the card. I thought it might be fun to calculate the distances (relative to different origins) that a person might travel in my home city (roughly 37 degrees north latitude) in 50 years' time. Of course motion is relative, so in each case I've outlined what it's relative to. I'm limiting my calculations to three significant figures because there's significant uncertainty, and this is just a party invitation, not a scientific paper.

I believe I got my sums right and checked myself, but before I go printing these on a bunch of cards, I think it would be useful for someone to check my work and make sure I haven't dropped any zeros, not off by a factor of 50, etc. Here goes:

>[My hometown, about 37 degrees north latitude\] travels 584 million km around the earth’s axis,

>the earth travels 1.26 trillion km in its orbit around the sun,

>the solar system travels 363 billion km in its orbit around the galactic center, and,

>the galaxy travels 920 billion km relative to the cosmic microwave background

Hello, perhaps someone can explain this or explain why there is no explanation...

11 x 11 = 121
111 × 111 = 12321
1,111 x 1,111 = 1234321
Etc etc to...
111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12345678987654321

The answer always counts up from 1 and then back down again. Why?
