Re: How many hits for a human to destroy a battleship?
Quote:
If a single blow is 1/1816 of the damage it takes to destroy a battleship, it ought to take 1816^2, about 3.3 million, blows to deliver as much energy as a single hit that can do that, or 1816^3, just under 6 billion, to destroy the same total mass. Of course calculating roots, adding, exponentiating and comparing to target hp for each blow would be horribly inconvenient in a tabletop game, but I think not doing that is where the problem is coming from.
