I'd spend a $100 trying with the expectation that I probably wouldn't come within 100 feet of the bucket. It would still be pretty entertaining.

I certainly think this item of small print is unnecessary. I mean I would think attaching c4 to a paper airplane would limit the planes ability to fly beyond section 540.

A/C on or off? Could ruin the trajectory big time.

Just trying to cover all the bases. My buddy thought he could tear up the piece of paper into confetti and let it fly, hoping one piece would drift into the bucket somehow.

Then you need to revise your rules, no where does it say that you cant leave the original spot before releasing the paper, only that you cant move once the paper has left your hand, jackass

I'd be more likely to make it on the first try than to not pay taxes on $1 million that I won on something.

Why? Fold it into an airplane and throw it.

Read the rules again a-hole...

If you can get the piece of paper into the bucket from Sec 640, row 35, you win $1 million tax free.

world record paper airplane throw is 226 feet and change

would need to run some math on distance of this throw

also, you have to consider the lack of a running start, or even a crow hop start, if having to throw from a damn row.

One attempt.

I simply hire 300 people at $50 each, I line them up and hand them the paper and instruct them to pass it on. They're on a need to know7 basis and that $50 would buy them a bit of 7th Ward hash.

Did you factor in absorption? The equation is invalid if this was not taken into account.

If we can adjust the rules to allow a crow hop I could make it with $15.

That guy is throwing from a flat surface, though. In this situation you're up in the stands. Elevation makes it a totally different story. I agree it's super unlikely that you'd hit a bucket, infact I'd probably guess that most people could easily go through a whole pack of paper and not get within 15 feet, but it's definitely worth a shot and certainly possible

50 yd line exactly, section 640, and is that the very top row underneath the press box? If so there's a reason that seats sold out... That's our season tickets

Great birds eye view of games tbh

watch the video. guy had to get some serious height on the throw to utilize downward trajectory for the 226 feet.

Agreed. I said almost impossible, not impossible. Very highly improbable. I’d even say a frick ton never make it out of the stands.

You have a friend who thought he could throw dozens of pieces of confetti 100 yards plus?
