EPTIf Box A is smaller than Box B (in mass) but larger than Box C and Box C is a hollow Box inside Box B, is it possible to fit Box A through Box C to reach the other side of Box B?
Shape unspecified.

What you are giving are only the relations of the volume(Or mass, but mass is kind of irrelevant here since you got no density defined and are talking about the shapes of objects, so i assume you meant volume) of the boxes. V(B)>V(A)>V(C) Of course, you still got lots of definition problems in your wording, but i am going to assume that what you mean is that you got 3 solid objects, and in object C there is an opening of some sort. Now, you can make the hole inside C as large as you wish by just stretching the sides thinner. Which means that the restriction on the size of that hole in C is that it is smaller than object B, since C is inside B. So you can produce an object C which is 1) smaller in volume than A, 2) inside box B, and 3) has a hole in it that allows A to fit through. | ||

Shape unspecified. Seeing as you can use different materials, making A's mass bigger than C's says nothing much. However, even if you work just in volumes, it depends on the specific properties of the materials being used and the shape of the objects (they're clearly not boxes). In other words, your problem is underspecified. The way you asked it, the answer is clearly yes: you can pick any number of conditions to make this possible. | ||

You got lots of different species in some way related to mosquitoes, like frogs, fish, anything mosquitoes sting, diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, and whatever else. And then you got everything somehow related to any of those species. And so on. Ultimately things will balance out in some way. If that new equilibrium would be "better" is pretty much impossible to tell. My guess would be on no. | ||

Afterwards, stuff becomes pretty much uncontrollable with all the different links interacting and leading to a new equilibrium that is basically impossible to foretell.

If that new equilibrium would be "better" is pretty much impossible to tell. My guess would be on no. Well, we'd wipe out Malaria, Dengue, Yellow Fever and a whole host of other tropical diseases. However, we might inadvertently cause new diseases to move in and take their place, because they are transmitted by *insert insect that fills mosquitos' niche*, but were extremely rare in humans. To be fair, wiping out mosquitos in large parts of the world using DDT during the 60s didn't really have much of a negative effect at all (insofar as the loss of mosquitos goes... spraying everything with DDT was arguably pretty bad). | ||

No silly, it's an existing product that's bombarded at children every 15 minutes between episodes of Spongebob until they scream and cry at their parents to buy it for them. | ||

ALIVE. ALIIIIIVE. Tupac is dead, don't tell me he's living in the Dominican Republic or something stupid. No. It's not funny anymore. The rapper has to be alive, so don't say Tupac, Biggie, Big L, or Jam Master J. | ||
