Thank You Letter For Wedding Attendants

The logic and Santa

Soon is Christmas Eve and then comes the time when the parents come to the distress of having to explain to their children, as because the gifts have come under the Christmas tree. Finally, it is tell too much too spectacular, that the stuffed animals, trains and dolls made in loveless irgenwelchen factories and purchased by the parents and have been packed.

why jumps in Santa Claus: he reads through all the letters of the children, leaves the Toys produced by his elves and delivers them right on time at Christmas in every home!

Any people took the story of Santa Claus probably a little too seriously and would investigate empirically why the man with the white beard and red stocking cap can not exist.

Here are some bizarre results:

first How many houses would have to supply, Santa Claus:

There are 2 billion children in the world. This includes but gone, the Muslims, Jews, Buddhists and Hindus, as they celebrate not a Christmas. So keep 378 million children left. Since an average of 3.5 children per household, in the end are the 91.8 million homes that would need to visit Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.

second How much time is left for Santa Claus each house?

when Santa Claus is flying from east to west and thus the time zones to be internalized, would Santa Claus a 31 - hours of Christmas. So he would have 822.6 visits per second. So he left for each household only 1 / 1000 second time.

third How can Father Christmas only invite so many gifts?

We assume that every child would not get more than a medium-large, heavy 1kg Lego set. That alone would be the slide already equipped with 378 000 tons of gifts.
A conventional reindeer can pull no more than 175kg. Even if we assume that a flying reindeer could take ten times as much weight, you still would need 216,000 reindeer to pull. And how is this mass because it can hover in the air?

Well then ... Merry Christmas! ;)
