Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

Wouldn't one need to drink one's entire weight in water to go from 80% to 90%?
Hmm let's see. For easy math, let's assume a large person who is 100kg.
That means they have 80kg of water in them. Drinking 10kg of water would put them at 90kg of water, but also increase their body weight by 10kg. Thus they are 90/110*100=81.81% water.
It seems one would get diminishing returns on this too. You might be right. I'm interested know what the proper steps to figure this out is.
100kg person is 80kg water -> 20kg not water
For them to be 90% water -> 20kg not water of a total of 200kg -> 180kg water
180kg water after drinking - 80kg water before drinking = 100kg water must be consumed
Yup, that was my exact thought process. You even chose the same numbers my brain did.
