Brainiac teaser for the day.

How many Helium filled balloons does it take to make a Meatball float?

I am sure a few of out intrepid AFF members would know.......

The answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42

So therefore it would take 42 helium filled baloons, regardless of size to make a meatball float

What you really need for this job is an improbability drive.....

wasnt it 9? 3 balloons per group, and there was 3 groups of balloons??

and of course, we all need to take into account the effect of a high powered industrial air conditioning unit as well...

Any chance of a GT striped teapot being somewhat attached to this said helium filled balloon.

I feel duty bound to post in this thread, even though I have nothing to add.

Except to ask that Shane stops smsing me to let me know when & where the yoghurt truck crashes every weekend...
