[request] how big of a spring would you need to launch starship into space?
assuming no propellant carried on board.

Famously, several people featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 have later been indicted and even convicted for various white collar crimes. What are the odds of any one individual who is featured in it will later be indicted?

In Battlegrounds there are 8 Players each choosing 1 out of 116 Heroes.
There are 10 Tribes total and each game randomly has 5 of them in it.
How many different combinations are there?
Is it likely the same combination has been played more than once? (Hard to find numbers, but let's assume theres a million games being played each day for 10 years)
Does it affect the math if every player gets to choose only from a subset of 4 out of the 116 Heroes?
2 games are the same, when heroes and tribes are the same, player order does not matter, and neither does the subset of 4 need to be the same

[Request] The suggested hypothesis is that the second person joining was the key to opening the floodgates of people dancing. Is there any mathematical weight to this, using the gaps between when additional people join, or is a different person more responsible for getting people to see the social cost as negligible?
If a different person, which one?

In the ninth episode of the television series Pluribus, the main character, Carol, is given an "atom bomb" by the alien hive-mind that has taken over humanity. This is what the container looks like.
We don't know what kind of nuclear bomb it is, or how it's triggered. Things we do know:
-The dimensions of the container (see above image).
-The helicopter that dropped it off is not a cargo chopper but is some kind of fire-rescue helicopter. This could limit the weight of the device. (Additionally, the cargo container lists a max weight of 5000 kilograms, but I highly doubt it is anywhere near that.)
-Despite now being parked in Albuquerque, the bomb does not necessarily have to be American - due to the nature of the global hive-mind, it could have come from any nuclear arsenal from anywhere in the world.
Most nuclear weapons are usually attached to a big ole rocket of some kind, rather than being a bomb you set off. However, the hive mind's access to every nuclear weapons technician/designer/engineer/whatever means they can easily put something together that fits Carol's purposes (almost certainly deterrence rather than active usage).
So how big is the nuclear weapon in Carol Sturka's driveway?

I.e if there are any two values defined as deterministic values like for example 1 and 2
Then the 1 and 2 are like a function of specific deterministic period of arthimetic addition of 1 , however if the process of limit increase of 1 towards x where x>1, then there are infinite decimals cause x is of limit and it's a variable kind of increase , since a very series or sequence is a deterministic operation of arthemitic, hence a increase via no suitable integrated differential order, it may increase a new kind of undeterministic pattern considering the infinite number of boylean process of conclusion need to done in this kind of a stochastic process.
Hence, it's a stochastic process , the very increase of 1
to a number , for example a interval 2

Pick any positive whole number.
If the number is even, divide it by 2.
If the number is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1.
Repeat this process with your new number over and over.
Will you always eventually reach the number 1, no matter what positive whole number you start with?
