The 20% figure is incorrect. The lower levels of the pyramid have more volume than the upper levels. By my arithmetic, the breakdown is (rounded) 1%, 6%, 15%, 30%, and 49%, so the "safety" level provides 30% of his needs. Jordan Brown (talk) 00:27, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Plus the bottom layer ought to get partial credit for supplying basic shelter. Jordan Brown (talk) 00:29, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- I question this Cueball's ability to get anything okay enough. -- 172.70.38.122 (talk) 03:32, 21 September 2024 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Seems like he's judging each layer on a pass-fail basis, no partial credit. So the bottom layer fails because it only provides shelter, but no food or water. Like a crypt, which is what the Egyptian pyramids were for. Barmar (talk) 18:19, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Oh crud. What did I do that I think totally messed up the attributions? 172.68.245.228 172.68.245.228 03:53, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think you probably put some ~s in the wrong places? 162.158.41.181 19:01, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
But *how* did he build it? Was there some sort of internal ramp? Were extraterrestrials involved? 172.70.163.48 06:58, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Couldn't care less. Cueball, I AM impressed. If your friends aren't, you need new friends. 172.71.160.115 07:37, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
I assumed Cueball was trying to meet the needs, inside the pyramid. :-) Robert Carnegie [email protected] 172.70.160.231 10:49, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
And a pyramid is a very safe building, except for emergency exits. ;-) (Also traps, but no one asked you in.) But it's not going to fall over. Robert Carnegie [email protected] 172.69.194.227 10:53, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's harder to climb over an inverted pyramid, looking for weak-points. But then it has a weak-point insofar as having to be balanced upon its point, and one of those definitely might fall over... 162.158.33.237 17:29, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
