Huge spread of answers there! I love that one bad day can kick you out so no one can run away with it too early.

Being the second worst every day will get you to the final

So Day 3

If a person can bench press a maximum of 100kg in one rep.

So do one rep and they are done, not able to lift a second rep at 100kg.

What is the maximum weight the same person can do 7 reps of?

Answers to two decimal places please

Green&Red

Also apologies to Rainbow, I think it was you who sent me an essay on the last question and I meant to post it but accidentally deleted it
If you send it to me again I'll post it

Trigger

This question seems like it should be easy......... Is it a trick......... I must be missing something........ Going to have to think about this for a while.......

OK I feel like I'm not using the words that are in my brain to adequately express my question

The answer is not 1/7th


A person goes into a gym in a rush, only has time to do ONE benchpress. They put on 100kg because that is the max they can lift. They wouldn't be able to lift 101kg and they wouldn't be able to do a second lift at 100kg.

The next week the same person goes back to the gym, they have more time, they want to do seven lifts this time, what is the max weight they could lift seven times but wouldn't be able to do the 8th time

HeidiHeidi

Yeah, that hasn't helped.....

Trigger

I've got it!

Oh yes, I work out religiously :cool:
I lift the weights and say 'God Almighty, that's heavy!' :pac:

How many sticks do you have to take out of the bucket before you can lift it seven times?

All of them?

I still don’t get it. I don’t get why time is a factor in how much weight they can lift

It takes longer to lift 7 times than it would 1, therefore lift once while in a rush. Its just a hypothetical situation to help explain

In fairness im still trying to figure it out myself, though I think I have got it

Well because they could go into the gym every day and lift 100kg once

They are doing the seven lifts together, so they'll be tired by the time lift seven comes. Its why they won't be able to lift an eighth time

I’m really looking forward to this reveal as this question has me completely bamboozled. Definitely living in hope that one person is worse than me.

So is it the same weight 7 times or is it 100 the first time and working back per lift.

Wish i had done physics instead of chemistry in school.
