Imagine the deep end of a pool that is 15ft deep. Imagine that it is completely drained of water and instead filled to the top with Skittles. Now what are yalls opinion on the following questions?
- Could you walk across it without falling into it? Would you sink to the bottom of just go down a bit?
- If you were to sink to the bottom, could you swim your way to the top?
- Would you suffocate at the bottom of the pool?
I think you would sink part way into the pool. Definitely far enough to cover your head. I don't think you could swim back up and would eventually die of suffocation due to the lack of fresh air around you to breath.

I made sure to log off to see if I could access the threads. I didn't know passwords were required?
