172.71.242.189: /* Explanation */ Preventing redirection by using already standard "link sungular from plural" mechanism (albeit with non-English plural-suffix). Reinstating an actual quoting of a comic "number: name", as it seems to best fit, rather than to hide it.

-The '''Title Text''' alludes to how kids like to guess what toy might be inside their Kinder treat. In this case, "some geophysicists" can do more than guess; they can infer that the Kinder toy core has a magnet (a popular type of toy) because it would explain a mysterious "mismatch" of current {{w|Magnetohydrodynamics|magnetohydrodynamic}} models not fully explaining observable phenomena. In this scenario, Earth's {{w|Earth's magnetic field|geomagnetic field}}  is amusingly explained to be generated both by currents in the liquid outer core as well as the contents of the Kinder Toy Capsule core.

 The text refers to a single Kinder toy, which is presumed to be huge, scaled to the size of the Earth's core, and to contain a proportionally-sized magnet.
 As a thought experiment though, if we assume that the "Kinder Toy Capsule" actually contains multiple normal-sized Kinder Eggs, there would be approximately 50 sextillion of them. Here's the math:
-* The radius of the earth is 6371 km
+* The mean radius of the earth is 6371 km
 * If the diagram is to scale then measurement of it gives the Kinder Toy Capsule a radius of about 900 km.
 * This gives the Kinder Toy Capsule a volume of just over 3 billion km<sup>3</sup>.

	This comic reimagines the internal structure of the earth, mixing the real geological layers of the planet with fictional ones. Some of the fictional layers are appropriated from the layers of other objects that have cross-sectional diagrams, such as the layers of a piece of fruit, an eyeball, an item of confectionery or a building.
