Yes, I know, but the room is flat... If that same guy threw a paper airplane from the top of the super dome he could go like 10x as far. Imagine that same throw with 100+ extra feet below where it landed. It would go really, really far

this sounds like a challenge

chug some dome foam, run a lap around the upper deck, and toss an airplane within 25 feet of midfield

have 10 minutes to complete

It must be an act of throwing, only touched by you once, no help from anyone else, no additions to the paper (water, weights, strings, balloons, drones, etc are not allowed), no mechanical devices, you cannot move once the paper leaves your hand until the piece of paper goes into the bucket, the piece of paper must remain whole, the bucket has an open top and never moves.


Id spend whatever the requisite amount of money is to build a closed chute that goes from where im standing into the bucket.

Friction would potentially be a challenge so it would have to be made of a surface that would reduce that

I would make it a ball or paper airplane and throw it into my end of the chute

wouldnt add anything to the paper

no mechanical devices,


the chute would be a stationary device

I understand that is the starting location but your rules do not specify that you can't move from that spot before releasing the paper. They do however specify that you can't move after the paper leaves your hand. You start at the designated spot walk to the bucket and "throw" it in. No rules broken according to the ones you posted, so either revise your rules or I'll take my money in small bills. Oh and quit being a dick just because you didn't pay attention to detail

Dipshits like you are why we have so many rules.

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


You ever been to a parade and see confetti fall from a 2 story building? Stuff goes a long ways, I guess it would depend on the AC flow.

We all have that one friend

more shocking to me is $570 for any saints ticket, let alone the top of the stadium


I believe that is the ticket price for a ten game package, according to the screenshot.

Other useless trivia:

The volume of oil spilled from the deepwater horizon incident would only fill the superdome less than 1/5th it's capacity.
