Hi ^^

Wanted to share my weight loss journey since my diagnosis with ulcerative colitis 🌺

So I like keeping track of my weekly weight.. and will continue to post it like this^^

Week 48/2022: 107,0 kg/ 235,89 lbs

Week 49/2022: 106,4 kg/ 234,57 lbs

Week 50/2022: 105,3 kg/ 232,14 lbs

Week 51/2022: 104,1 kg/ 229,50 lbs

Week 52/2022: 103,7 kg/ 228,62 lbs

Week 1/2023: 103,4 kg/ 227,95 lbs

Week 2/2023: 101,9 kg/ 224,65 lbs

Total of 5,1 kg or 11,24 lbs down

Kinda not sure what to think of my last week comparison of -1,5kg.. I hope it's just because of my higher activity during the day.. I don't know

But it's a steady progress and I think very normal considering I've changed my way of life and diet drastically since diagnosis.

Humans need MOVEMENT. Humans need IRRITABILITY. Humans need METABOLISM. Humans need DIGESTION. Humans need EXCRETION. Humans need REPRODUCTION. Humans need GROWTH. Humans need BOUNDARIES. Your survival needs are Oxygen, Water, Nutrients, appropriate body temperature, and appropriate atmospheric pressure. You need homeostasis, which relies upon positive and negative feedback…

The maximum number of coins you would need to be able to make exact change at all times is three quarters, two dimes, one nickel, and four pennies (10)

To make all 99 perfect permutations, 80 include pennies, 75 include quarters, 60 include dimes, and 40 include a nickel.  4 give you exactly one coin, 9 give you two coins, 14 give you three coins, 18 give you four, 19 give you five, 16 give you six, 11 give you seven, 6 give you eight, and 2 give you nine.  You are statistically most likely to end up with between four and six coins in your change (53.535% chance of four, five or six coins)

In total, to make all values of exact change, you would need 470 coins; 200 pennies, 40 nickels, 80 dimes, and 150 quarters.

200 pennies weigh 500 grams.

40 nickels weigh 200 grams

80 dimes weigh 181.44 grams

150 quarters weigh 850.5 grams

In total, all these coins would weigh 1731.94 grams (1.73194 kilograms, 3.818274104 pounds), worth a combined 4950 cents, $49.50.  This comes out to a whopping 2.858066677 cents per gram; $28.58 per kilogram, $12.96 per pound.

There’s a 20/47 chance that any given value of exact change will contain at least one penny (42.55319149%)

4/47 that is contains a nickel (8.510638298%)

8/47 it contains a dime (17.0212766%)

15/47 it contains a quarter (31.91489362%)

If we compensate for the likelihood of receiving any given coin, we can refine this value even further.

200 pennies x (20/47) = 85.10638298 pennies = 85.10638298 cents

40 nickels x (4/47) = 3.404255319 nickels = 17.0212766 cents

80 dimes x (8/47) = 13.61702128 dimes = 136.1702128 cents

150 quarters x (15/47) = 47.87234043 quarters = 1196.808511 cents

Total: 150 coins, worth 1435.106383 cents ($14.35)

Even though pennies are more common, quarters make up the vast majority of the value of loose change because they’re worth 25 times as much while only weighing twice as much.

~85.1 pennies weigh 212.7659574 grams (0.4 cents per gram)

~3.4 nickels weigh 17.0212766 grams (1 cent per gram)

~13.6 dimes weigh 30.88340426 grams (4.409171076 cents per gram)

~47.9 quarters weigh 271.4361702 grams (4.409171076 cents per gram)

Total: 150 total coins weigh 532.1068085 grams (2.697026913 cents per gram)

So, after accounting for the value, mass, and probability of each coin, we can definitively conclude that a random pile of loose change will be worth an average: $26.97 cents per kilogram ($12.23 per pound)

Grams and pounds are not the same type of measurement. 

Pounds are weight. Grams are mass. A kilogram of lead on the moon is still a kilogram of lead. A hundred pounds of lead on the moon is only 16ish pounds on the moon. The proper conversion would be newtons. Technically speaking converting pounds to kilograms is not a real equivalency. I just read THIS
