^--- Hell yeah! But I'd sacrifice a bit of car space to put a games room in there.
 
Yup, saw that. I took it to be for the home cinema, with a massive projector screen and tiered seating.
But there needs to be space for the pool/snooker tables.
 
4 dies
the notch in the first ball.. does not match where #4 head location.

3 is safe
if the first ball is lighter in weight than the 2nd ball..
then the seesaw would not change in position.

3 is dead
if the ball did match in weight... even with the huge missing notch..
the first ball will make the seesaw slowly lower past even.. as it tries to level out...
making the 2nd ball roll towards and past the focal point..
adding the 2nd ball's weight to the right side of the seesaw.

2 is safe
the wall in front of him is too high for the 2nd ball to go over.
balls are balanced, and the ball has rolled to the right side.

1 is safe..
same reason why 3 is safe... weight is not high enough to launh

5 is safe..
because there is no reason for him to jump of the edge

I didn't know where to put this.

It's really more of a game, but there's no thread in the games section for it.

Besides, it would just die off (no pun intended) pretty quickly.

Anyway...I was forwarded this from social media, and it's pretty funny from reading the source comments that so many don't really "get" physics. The picture asks "Who dies" and the way I got it was with the lead-in, "Which one dies first?"

So those are the questions. Does anyone die? If so, who? If more than one, in what order?

I think it's fair to assume that (1) Person 5 gently starts the wheel rolling without accelerating it or changing its relative position in any way, (2) that the coefficient of friction between the wheel and the slope is sufficient to prevent the wheel from simply sliding at any point, and (3) that the notched wheel would weigh the same as the solid wheel if it weren't missing the mass lost to the notch.

You don't need to show your work, but please explain your answer. :D (I don't want to sway anyone, so I'll remain mum.)

Enjoy...

After careful consideration, and consultation with the Mrs, we reckon #4 dies because the notch in the ball doesn't coincide with his head.
Assuming the plank isn't made out of balsa wood, #3 is ok because the rolling ball has less mass than the counterbalancing ball. Ball would bounce up off the plank, and kill #1
