The wham-o website says the same thing. But I may be wrong in my recollection of this story.<BR/><BR/>I did some calculating with neither a frisbee nor a can of beer in front of me, but let's assume I'm at least close to right.<BR/><BR/>A frisbee has a diameter of 10 inches and therefore an area of 78.5 (pi * radius squared). Assuming it's an inch deep, and that it's basically a cylinder, then there is 78.5 cubic inches for beer.<BR/><BR/>A beer can has a diameter of 2.5 inches (I have a big ass can of Arizona here) and therefore an area of 7.8, times a height of 4 inches (which is the best guess I could make based on this huge can of Arizona. I actually divided the ounces per inch, and then multiplied back out for a 12.5 ounce can) gives 31.25 cubic inches of beer.<BR/><BR/>The 78.5 divided by the 31.25 gives roughly 2.5 cans of beer per firsbee.<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty confident about the soda measurement, but if I'm wrong here, then it's because my frisbee measurements are way off.<BR/><BR/>Suffice it to say, 2.5 beers is nowhere near 8 beers, so I'm probably wrong.ChuckJerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16596845287728762643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2822678093661476153.post-56411119555060724022007-03-30T16:40:00.000-04:002007-03-30T16:40:00.000-04:00can that be right? 8 beers to fill a frisbee? th...can that be right? 8 beers to fill a frisbee? that's like the thiing where if you fold a piece of paper 32 times it stretches to the moon or something like that. that just can't be right.Side Barhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612970173870600320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2822678093661476153.post-52621444785020024022007-03-30T16:36:00.000-04:002007-03-30T16:36:00.000-04:00All of these are really asenine.

The Century club is the worst of those you mentioned because it doesn't seem like something that will be that hard until you realize that it's 7.5 beers in 1.5 hours. <BR/><BR/>A friend of mine was on the ultimate frisbee team in college and something they used to do that I found interesting was that all the freshmen or maybe new players or something had to drink a frisbee full of beer. Again it sounds like it's not that big a deal and then they tell you that it takes 8 beers to fill a frisbee. Also it's probably dirty.ChuckJerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16596845287728762643noreply@blogger.com
