It would take six years and 9 months of non-stop farting to produce enough gas to equal the power of an atomic bomb.

You could comfortably fit the entire population of the planet in a cube with sides measuring just 1km in length

Actually i calculated: 87178291200

Which is 14!, or 14 factorial

This assumes that u only use each hole once, and that u can go from one hole ot any other...

But when u consider it, this number should then be squared, because each hole u can go into from the top, or into from the bottom.

So, really that means that there are 7,600,054,456,551,997,440,000 ways...
Which (using british, not american terminology) is:
Seven thousand six hundred trillion, fifty four thousand four hundred and fifty six billion, five hundred and fifty one thousand and ninety seven million, four hundred and fourty thousand.

In American terminology, the number would just be ridiculous with hexillion, quillion, and quadrullion all coming out ;)

Sorry ice, didnt realise you had already said something similar...

ive considered things further..

AND maybe whoever designed this question is assuming that you have to start and finish in the top 2 holes..But this doesnt neccesarily mean the shoe would stay together any better then half of the other ways

Making the result 4 X (12!)^2...

Which is still well above the 300million..

If u disregard going in from the top, or out from the top, u would get 2 X 12!, which again is above 300million (it comes in at about 900million)...

So...really that point isnt a useless fact, but just useless parra ;)

But having said all of this, there was no word "Only" in parras statement so it isnt a lie. There are 300million ways to lace the shoe....its just that there are a whole lot more too ;)

Lets do the maths.

Think about it..
Ok, u said comfortbaly, so height wise we will allow an average of 1.8metres per person (6 foot is the average height of the full grown man, so taking into account kids and women are smaller, 1.8m average should be comfy). We will give everyone 50cm width, and 50cm breadth to play with (on average, again some wont need it all, some will need MUCH MUCH more)..

Ok that means we can fit: (1000/1.8) X (1000/0.5) X (1000x0.5)
This equals: 2,222,222,222

Only 2 billion. The worlds population is more then 2 billion, so i dont like u r chances. Of course on average ppl would probably need much less then that..BUT you did say comfortaby...and considering some of the fatsos in the world, i dont think it would happen too well!
