1. Mona Chalabi on Jeff Bezos’ Wealth.
I found Mona Chalabi through her illustrated New York Times article (7 April, 2022) 9 WAYS TO IMAGINE JEFF BEZOS’ WEALTH.
So Jeff Bezos personal wealth is $172 Billion (US$) Her Toblerone Block vs Mt Everest comparison was in this article.
NOTE: Median wealth is the mid-point wealth ie. 50% of Americans have more wealth. 50% of Americans have less wealth.

I Can’t Sleep: Caffeine Math Part 3 USA UNITS
November 13, 2021I Can’t Sleep Math: Caffeine Maths METRIC HERE.
Sensitivity to caffeine varies for individuals, but in healthy adults the half life for caffeine is approx 6hrs meaning your body eliminates half the caffeine you have drunk in 6 hrs. Ref: Caffeine Pharmacology
Caffeine interferes with sleep. One study found that consuming caffeine 6 hours before bedtime reduced total sleep time by 1 hour.
Caffeine content sources Caffeine Content Data Base

The Half life equation is an exponential function.
The Mayo Clinic advises up to 400mg Caffeine a day for adults, which would be;
10 black teas
7 instant coffees
4 cappuccinos
2 dark roast brewed
less than one cup of Black Insomnia Coffee.
Approx half this amount of caffeine for 14 yos.

3.2.1. Lift-off. How STEM opens new horizons for girls.
May 17, 2021
Aviation Aerospace Australia has produced an amazing Video Here to show girls what careers are available in the aviation and aerospace industries. Mathspig has met 3 female Boeing Engineers and a female engineer that worked on the Williams Formula 1 car.
An information brochure (link below) that goes with the video gives subject advice and income ranges over a lifetime career:
Meanwhile, this is why girls (and boys) should do STEM.

10. You can out run a lava flow … USA UNITS
November 17, 2018
This is a rework of a previous post with full calcs.
Every volcano disaster movie from Volcano (1997) with Tommy Lee Jones to Dante’s Peak (1997) with Pierce Brosnan someone somewhere tries to out run a lava flow. Is this possible?
The answer is maybe. You will find everything you want to know about lava flows here.
On January 10,1977, at Nyiragongo lava sprang from the sides of the volcano moving at speeds up to 40 miles per hour. About 70 people were killed.
Measuring the temperature of lava. Photograph by R.L. Christiansen, U.S. Geological Survey, January 9, 1973.
The fastest Lava flows recorded were in Hawaiiin 1950 when Mauna Loa erupted. The lava traveled at 6 miles per hour through thick forest. But once the lava flows became established and good channels developed, the lava in the channels was flowing at up to 60 mph.
Speed of average sprinter = 10 – 15 mph
Can you out run a lava flow?
You would be scorched in 33 seconds!!!
