Kirk: I will eat this chicken sandwich if there is less than 1000 grams of mold on it. Kirk: I mean, two pounds is fine, right? You weight lifters know how much two pounds is, not that much. //later Kirk: So, we reach out to Bill Nye... and he dips [my chicken sandwich] in radioactive waste. Kirk: The mold no longer grows. It has a half-life of 6 days. Kirk: The sandwich was a very well-made sandwich. Radioactive waste can't mess it up. A chicken sandwich! //later Kirk: So it would take 20 days for the chicken sandwich to get to 1000g of mold, at which point I am willing to eat it. Student: Wouldn't it be easier to make another chicken sandwich? Kirk: No. It is a good chicken sandwich!

P2 Analysis B. Part 3 of the diffeq word problem from earlier. //mod note: merged with two related quotes, also the sandwich itself is probably <500 g
