if an earthquake measures a 7.5 on the Richter scale, how many buckets of water do you need to pour down a volcano to put it out before the tectonic plates drift apart and spill the oceans?
• A) Exactly 42 buckets, but only if you use salt water to match the salinity of the spilling oceans.
• B) None, because the earthquake will simply shake the water out of your buckets before you reach the volcano.
• C) It depends on whether the volcano is in a good mood, as happy volcanoes require 10% less water to extinguish.
• D) Green.
