I’m thinking 780, but I didn’t go to Harvard so maybe it’s closer to 50,000.

Either the Russian translation isn’t very good, or Russia has giant chickens.
Matthews doesn’t ever want to lose at anything
Alright. I tried my hand at calculating this.
Using dimensions for the NHL crease I found online, and AutoCAD, I’ve determined the square footage of the net is 43.19 sqft.
I’m going with an assumption that the average nugget is 1″ x 2″.
Plugging this into WolframAlpha cause I’m lazy:
#3109 nuggets
Someone needs to edit the meme where the guy is doing calculations with Matthews face.
I’m going to cry and stop watching hockey if I ever see our beautiful tattooed moustache man in another jersey.
According to ChatGPT – 873 –
To calculate the number of chicken nuggets required to cover just the surface of the NHL goalie crease, we need to calculate the surface area of the crease. The surface area of a trapezoid-shaped area can be calculated by adding the areas of the two parallel bases and the lateral sides.
The surface area of the trapezoidal-shaped NHL goalie crease can be calculated as:
Surface area = (Length of the front base + Length of the back base)/2 x Depth + Width x Depth
Substituting the given values, we get:
Surface area = (10 feet + 2 feet)/2 x 4 feet + 8 feet x 4 feet
= 48 square feet (4.46 square meters)
Assuming each chicken nugget has a diameter of 1 inch (2.54 cm), we can calculate the area covered by each nugget:
Area covered by a chicken nugget = pi x (diameter/2)^2
= 3.14 x (1/2)^2
= 0.79 square inches (5.1 square centimeters)
To determine the number of chicken nuggets required to cover the surface of the goalie crease, we need to divide the surface area of the crease by the area covered by each nugget:
Number of chicken nuggets = Surface area / Area covered by each nugget
= 48 x 12 x 12 / 0.79
= 873
Therefore, approximately 873 chicken nuggets would be required to cover the surface of the NHL goalie crease.
2208. A nugget is about 2in by 1in. So a 6 pack would be about 0.124 sqft. If the crease is 8 x 5 plus around 8 x 1.25 for the round bit. That would give 46 sqft. If a 6 pack is about 0.125 sqft… 2208 nuggets laying flat side by side. My guess.
Bro Mitch and Matty pondered that shit for a good 50 seconds
They took this one very seriously. Great question.
To answer this question, we need to know the dimensions of a standard hockey goal crease and the size of a typical chicken nugget.
A standard NHL goal crease is defined by a semi-circle with a 6-foot (1.8288 meters) radius, and a 4-foot (1.2192 meters) wide by 6-inch (15.24 centimeters) deep rectangular area in front of the goal line.
A typical chicken nugget is roughly 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) long, 1 inch (2.54 cm) wide, and 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) tall.
To approximate the number of chicken nuggets needed to fill the goal crease, we can calculate the volume of the crease and divide it by the volume of a single chicken nugget.
First, let’s calculate the volume of the semi-circle. The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, and for a semi-circle, it’s A = (1/2)πr^2. So, the area of the semi-circle is:
A = (1/2)π(6 feet)^2 = 18π square feet ≈ 56.55 square feet
Now, multiply the area of the semi-circle by the depth of the crease (6 inches or 0.5 feet) to get the volume:
V_semi-circle = 56.55 square feet × 0.5 feet ≈ 28.27 cubic feet
Next, calculate the volume of the rectangular area in front of the goal line:
V_rectangle = Length × Width × Height = 4 feet × 6 inches × 6 inches ≈ 4 feet × 0.5 feet × 0.5 feet = 1 cubic foot
Now, add the volumes of the semi-circle and the rectangle together:
V_total = V_semi-circle + V_rectangle ≈ 28.27 cubic feet + 1 cubic foot ≈ 29.27 cubic feet
Now, let’s calculate the volume of a single chicken nugget:
V_nugget = Length × Width × Height ≈ 1.5 inches × 1 inch × 0.5 inches ≈ 0.75 cubic inches
To convert cubic inches to cubic feet, divide by 1,728 (since there are 1,728 cubic inches in a cubic foot):
V_nugget ≈ 0.75 cubic inches × (1 cubic foot / 1,728 cubic inches) ≈ 0.000434027777778 cubic feet
Finally, divide the total volume of the goal crease by the volume of a single chicken nugget:
Number of nuggets ≈ V_total / V_nugget ≈ 29.27 cubic feet / 0.000434027777778 cubic feet ≈ 67,458 chicken nuggets
So, it would take approximately 67,458 chicken nuggets to fill the goal crease. Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate, as the actual number of chicken nuggets needed may vary depending on the size and shape of the nuggets, as well as how efficiently they can be packed together.
Waste of nuggets
If we assume that the average chicken nugget has dimensions of 1 inch by 2 inches (2.54 cm x 5.08 cm), we can calculate the area of a single nugget as follows:
Area of a single chicken nugget = length x width
= 1 inch x 2 inches
= 2 square inches
To cover the surface of a regulation ice hockey goal crease, which has an area of approximately 32 square feet (2.97 square meters), we need to convert the area of a chicken nugget to square feet:
1 square inch = 0.00694444 square feet (approx.)
2 square inches = 0.0138889 square feet (approx.)
Therefore, the number of chicken nuggets required to cover the surface of the goal crease would be:
Number of chicken nuggets required = Surface area of the goal crease / Area of a single chicken nugget
= 32 square feet / 0.0138889 square feet
≈ 2,305
So if we assume the average chicken nugget to be 1 inch by 2 inches, it would take approximately 2,305 chicken nuggets to cover the surface of a regulation ice hockey goal crease.
Did anyone just ask chat gpt?
I love Buntings answers for these things. He always gives the best responses
