I actually said 'they did the monster maths', lol
Pedantry aside, they did indeed do the maths, though :)
The community title must have influenced me haha
As I'm from Australia and also say maths
I love you
Most things don't scale linearly with size.
Given how the snail moves I feel like it's an accurate assumption since each pull is x% longer
I think friction and mass will affect those pulls non-linearly, probably to the point of the snail not able to even move. See, now you've made me go and ruin the whole cartoon premise!
Your correct I didn't really think of mass and friction, good catch
Now assume ideal snail
I think metric is not your native system.
45 km/h is very very fast, like world record fast.
A jog is more like 12 km/h
