Description

This is certainly a great approach to take with someone that doesn't know something, rather than taking the "idiot" approach. However, this math assumes that 100% of people know certain things by the time they are 30. I know that there are a lot of people over 30 that haven't yet seen Diet Coke and Mentos. If you are one of those people, here you go.[1] This also assumes that 10,000 people learn of something every day from the day they are born. I don't know if there are people out there showing their newborns the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment.

If you are not familiar with the Yellowstone supervolcano and have missed the scare-tactics articles over the past 4 or so years, here's a great video explanation.[2]
