[request] in the lightning thief percy Jackson jumped from the gateway arch to the nearby river. That’s a 200 meter jump, or over 600 feet. I’m just wondering how much force is needed to do that?
Keep in mind percy was twelve so he was pretty light. And pretty short, he later did a similar feat in house of hades, but it didn’t have a clear distance.

[request] How heavy is air really?
My fella and I are having a disagreement. He asked me what I thought would happen if we had a hole that went all the way through the earth and jumped in it. (Assume that it doesn't get particularly hot down there because you burn up and die isn't a fun mental exercise)
So I told him that I think you would fall to the middle and get stuck there, but the air above you would be so so heavy and the air in the other above would be so so heavy that you'd get smooshed flat like a pancake.
He says he's pretty sure I'm wrong but he doesn't know why. So can anybody that understands gravity and air pressure better please break this stalemate? It's fun to argue when you don't know what you're talking about, but it's difficult to decide who's winning.

[REQUEST] Dice roll probabilities
I'm trying to calculate the probability of a success on at least 2 out of 4 rolls of d20 dice, with a success being a roll of 11 or higher.
Catch is, first roll gets a +1 to its result (so a success is 10-20 on the die), second gets +2 (9-20), and third gets +3 (8-20). The fourth one has no modifiers.
But I suck at math and barely passed my high school finals. I tried googling probability tutorials but I got stumped. So I'm hoping one of you can help; what are the chances that 2 or more out of the 4 dice get an 11 or higher on the result, after the modifier? Thanks!

[REQUEST] Height of a diving board to do a perfect flip.
Me and my friends discussed this today, since we were at a beach with diving boards. How high would a diving board have to be to enable a (hypothetical, perfectly stiff) person leaning towards the water to do a flip and land perfectly in the water? Let’s assume this person is me (194cm) since I imagine height plays a part in the equation.
