Title: How to make the best of a bad situation.....you won't believe this!

Man peed way out of avalanche

A Slovak man trapped in his car under an avalanche freed himself by drinking 60 bottles of beer and urinating on the snow to melt it.

Rescue teams found Richard Kral drunk and staggering along a mountain path four days after his Audi car was buried in the Slovak Tatra mountains.

He told them that after the avalanche, he had opened his car window and tried to dig his way out.

But as he dug with his hands, he realised the snow would fill his car before he managed to break through.

He had 60 half-litre bottles of beer in his car as he was going on holiday, and after cracking one open to think about the problem he realised he could urinate on the snow to melt it, local media reported.

He said: "I was scooping the snow from above me and packing it down below the window, and then I peed on it to melt it. It was hard and now my kidneys and liver hurt. But I'm glad the beer I took on holiday turned out to be useful and I managed to get out of there."

Parts of Europe have this week been hit by the heaviest snowfalls since 1941, with some places registering more than ten feet of snow in 24 hours.

Algebra question:

There's 1 inch of snow on my front stoop, 3' by 4'.  How much beer will I have to drink to clear it?

One beer of course. I prefer the 64 ounce variety, but your milage may vary. I'm glad you didn't ask something difficult like how many 12 ounce beers it would take.  That would require ciphering.

So a standard six pack would be too much at 72 oz??  What would I do with the left over 8 oz?  Start on the driveway?

Oh no, the extra 8 ounce is foam, and I just sip that off the top to keep it from spilling. It doesn't count and has no calories.

You forgot to adjust your formula for slope and viscosity.  Also, tests would need to be performed to determine if foam and pooled liquid melted snow at the same rate as vigorously flowing liquid.

Writing your name doesn't count...
