The Pool Funnies

Guests take a dip in beer pool

An Austrian holiday resort is offering guests the chance to swim in a pool containing 42,000 pints of beer.



The Starkenber Beer Myth resort located in and around the medieval castle of Starkenberger in Austria's Tyrol region has filled seven 13ft long pools with the beer.

The management claims that beer baths heal various skin diseases.

However, some guests are said to have enjoyed drinking their favourite brew while swimming in the pools.

Manager Markus Amann, 23, said: "I would rather swim than swallow, as we serve enough of a cold, fresh tapped beer on the bars next to the pools."

Have you ever wondered how much JELL-O it would take to fill your swimming pool?
I didn't think so... But here is a recipe anyway..

Your going to be quizzed on this...

One 3 ounce package of JELL-O makes 2 cups of JELL-O. ("Add 1 cup boiling water to gelatin...add 1 cup cold water...makes 4 servings, 1/2 cup each.")

The Average Swimming Pool holds 25,000 gallons of water. We have to find the ratio of gelatin needed for each unit volume of water for this or any size pool.

The (gelatin mass)/(water volume) ratio can be derived from the 3 ounces to 2 cups ratio. This is equivalent to (3 oz / 2 cup) X (1 lb / 16 oz) X (16 cup / 1 gal) = 1.5 lbs / gal.

So you need 1.5 pounds of JELL-O for every gallon of water to make gelatin.

One cup equals .0625 gallons. Therefore, we need x number of cups, where .0625(x) = 25,000.

We find that x = 400,000 cups. Since 2 cups of JELL-O requires 3 ounces of JELL-O mix, we find that we need 37,500 pounds, or 18.75 tons of JELL-O gelatin mix.


Now, what would the cost of filling the average Swimming Pool with cherry JELL-O be? Assuming that the JELL-O was bought in individual packages and not in bulk, the price per 6 ounce package is $1.05. This yields: ($1.05 / 6 oz) x (16 oz / 1 lb) x (1.5 lbs / gal) = $4.20 per gallon.

So the total cost (excluding heating, transportation and our repair bill) for filling the Average Swimming Pool with cherry JELL-O is $105,000.


To calculate the amount of jello to fill your pool just substitute your pool's gallonage in the above equation. Happy Eating...



RECIPE:
Add 12,500 gallons of boiling water to the Swimming Pool at night on a cold evening.
Add 18.75 tons of gelatin. Stir until dissolved.
Add 12,500 gallons of cold water.
Chill.

Makes 800,000 servings of 1/2 cups each
