10 days ago, we proposed to the Steemit community the first episode of regular physics challenges.
The idea was to provide a problem where the answer was not unique, but that would instead allow Steemians to try to use what they knew about physics and show how their knowledge could be applied.
We decided to focus on what is happening in the movie ‘Up’ where the old man attaches balloons to his house to go far in the sky. The question was about the number of balloons that was needed.
Funnily enough, we even got answers that none of us were expecting!
Our personal conclusions are that this challenge was a great success. It generated a scientific discussion that was spread over 35 comments. And it was really fun to discuss with you guys! Thanks a lot!
As a consequence, we will propose another challenge… soon (enough).
And now, what everybody is waiting: the results. First of all, the reward of 100 STEEM will entirely be shared among the participants. We were super happy with your participation! On top of that, the post earned 42.194 SBD, which once converted in STEEM, gives 30 STEEM.
We will thus give back to the steemit community today a total of 130 STEEM. The total list of (alphabetically ordered) participants includes: @ace108, @bsameep, @cryptastic, @dreamrafa, @jamhuery, @lovewild, @Kryptik, @point .
Each of the participants will get 3 STEEM to start with. This leaves 106 STEEM to be shared. It was very hard for us to decide, and those negotiations were actually tougher than the Paris agreement on climate change. Okay maybe not…
This being said, the final ranking is
@ace108: 3 STEEM @bsameep: 23 STEEM @cryptastic: 30 STEEM @dreamrafa: 6 STEEM @jamhuery: 20 STEEM @lovewild: 11 STEEM @Kryptik: 7 STEEM @point: 30 STEEM
These accounts are currently being powered up, and thanks again for your participation. All earnings from this post will be used for future steemSTEM activities!
