Sedusa has been sent an enormous beach ball - whose nominal size is "6 feet." We assume that's diameter, but there's only one way to find out. Sedusa has been planning a beach trip, so she figures that if for any reason she is unable to burst this monster by overpressure, she has another use for it. Since Sedusa has one of the largest lung capacities we have every measured, she expects to have no trouble blowing it with lung power alone. And since she can blow entertainer balloons by mouth, we all expect that she can generate more than enough pressure to rip a seam, once that time comes. So...

Sedusa has been sent an enormous beach ball - whose nominal size is "6 feet." We assume that's diameter, but there's only one way to find out. Sedusa has been planning a beach trip, so she figures that if for any reason she is unable to burst this monster by overpressure, she has another use for it. Since Sedusa has one of the largest lung capacities we have every measured, she expects to have no trouble blowing it with lung power alone. And since she can blow entertainer balloons by mouth, we all expect that she can generate more than enough pressure to rip a seam, once that time comes. So Sedusa proceeds with the inflation, only to discover that once the time comes to try and burst it, we do not have a compatible fitting for the beachball's nozzle. So it looks like the ball gets a reprieve, and Sedusa will have her toy at the beach - this time. Who will be the lucky researcher that gets to continue this experiment? Try looking up Sierra...
